Hey Wayne, Im down with the kids and group of mates... lets look out for each other to say hi.

I'll second that!

Yeah... but dont get distracted by all the other settings in Libre like I did... stick with default settings, use the wizard, and just get a switch for flight modes sorted. There is so much more tun...

Ok, so props on and attempted a hover. Its a bit wet so am under the back pergola, not much space, up, down, left or right. Tried to just idle on the ground and gradually increase power for a low ho...

I made sure to connect the antenna, and yes mine gets quite hot too. Thx for the screen shots Simon... will put the props on tomorrow and see how it goes.

Yes I discovered that too, I had to set up all the switches on the Tx first then run the Librepilot Tx setup. Not sure on the DX8, but on the DX7s if want to use certain switches I'd need to change ...

How do you set in Libre pilot, an easy flight mode, a more aggressive one, then a prop-breaking acro mode??

Ha Ha... logical yes...but no I removed the lens cap!! Problem seems to be in the AV port on the receiver, AV port 2 gives the black screen, AV1 works ok, so I can live with that, just need one wor...

Finally got the eachine 250 from china on Monday... about 4wks... fyi for those I know also wait for it to arrive.

Got a bunch of 15cm servo extension wires, happy to loan you. Will put some in the field box for next weekend. NB these are servo extension wires, so one end male the other female.

Too late for me, I already bought... but noticed today its the cheapest I have seen at $175 for those considering a quad. http://www.banggood.com/Eachine-Racer-250-FPV-Drone-Built-in-5_8G-Transmitt...

Agree... I notice you've got the same little PC9 I have, that I am current wrestling with to get flying straight :( ... nice and tidy Wayne!

Anyone down there today, that can give a report on the field??

race your quad and win $250k... kid now has a career! https://www.facebook.com/quartznews/videos/1129429120424122/

FAA require aircraft operators greater than 250g to register with FAA. CASA may follow FAA, and I have already seen noise about this in the media. This would apply to most of us plane or quads. Loo...

Done it's the v2's on their way.

Kerching!!

Wow... looking at that photo... we really need to get council to put a backhoe through that trench... you can actually see it... if you look at some of the recent aerial video on the forum, it is all ...

semi permanent anything is a problem with PCC being a flood basin. Anything we want will need to be setup and taken down each flying session. good questions... we may not be able to answer definati...

Would love to do Skyzones but as a first-timer think I need to contain the budget... but I do think the wife would let me keep them in the divorce settlement if I did buy them !! :)

OK still waiting havent pulled the trigger on the quad... but am thinking these look good entry level at $86. My question is, I know they dont have diversity... and I get the consequence of losing ...

Great day flying today. Excellent to see so many members down there enjoying the great weather and low winds. If you have photos and videos, why not share them on our facebook page? https://www.face...

Was at a utility convention in the US, and some of the exhibitors were commercial survey or UAV vendors. The displayed commercial-grade equipment was incredible the chopper in the pics was powered ...

Well, my plans for flying on Sunday are ruined, and it looks like it will be a good day according to Willy. Im stuck in Orlando, and 30mins ago Delta just boarded us then got us off as the plane is b...

Was done this arvo abt 4pm. Field restricted but looks and feel ok for tomorrow save more rain falling.
