All yours John. Cheers. Thanks for picking it up so quickly.

All this for $150!!! SMS or call me on 040*026*580*7 Benefit from my lack of spare time with these 2 450-size R/C helis in good condition. An absolute plethora of spare parts comes with them inc...

SOLD. Sorry Dirk. You missed by 15 minutes mate... Sorry. The man cave is chockers with all of my planes and drones and I just don't get down to the field any more. So feel free to benefit from my ...

Wow. Nice pics. Kind of explains why the strip is always under water following heavy rain. No matter what was done after WW2 to re-route the creek, Mother Nature still decides where she wants to fl...

I've got both the Mini and the Swift. Great cameras. There's also a Micro out now which is useful for indoor quads. Haven't tried that one yet.

Rob - at the time I flashed it, it was around September last year so it would have been around 2.6 of Betaflight. My son doesn't fly this quad very much any more so we haven't upgraded it to 3.01 yet...

Ps I have the FatShark Dominator HD3's and they're awesome, but for eyesight issues the standard Dominator V3's would be better as my son has these and they are easier to focus.

Bob, they have to use 25mW because it's technically illegal to use any more than that in Australia, although I believe if you have a HAM license you nay be exempt (I'm not 100% sure of the HAM license...

Bob - I buy mine from the Australian warehouse, they stock a pretty good range. Postage-wise, it's much cheaper. Also, sea freight is pretty slow. Is there a battery that you are looking for that ...

Travis Grindal has a good video on YouTube regarding flashing CleanFlight onto a CC3D. BetaFlight is flashed much the same way.

I've upgraded a few CC3D's to BetaFlight. It's not that hard, and if you stuff it up, you can always go back. I know this because I stuffed it a few times. Eachine don't use custom firmware so ...

Bob, Exact address is on the FPVR site http://www.fpvr.org - it's at Rydalmere.

The Kraken, from what I'm reading on rcgroups and on the various Facebook groups, is a really good frame and it's designed in Oz. A lot of people are transiting across to "X" frames at the moment h...

Another video, some crashing and racing. https://youtu.be/bXO4wBv3pYw

Hey Chris, will the minutes of the AGM be posted here?

The following videos will help step through the process: https://youtu.be/BLL29sQvrYg https://youtu.be/fFK84oIK95o?list=PLZ5zk0obNpF9ZBQ0S5_smo2-tLYDv1R_T https://youtu.be/5PmkfxdX5zQ?list=PL...

Bob, That means it needs a firmware upgrade. Use LibrePilot instead of OpenPilot. Just start the wizard and it will take care of it for you, it really is simple, don't try and do things manually. ...

Look for an Aomway RP-SMA (or SMA, depending on your equipment, probably RP-SMA I'd guess). http://www.banggood.com/Aomway-5_8GHz-FPV-4-Leaf-Clover-AV-Transmission-RHCP-Antenna-1-Pair-p-961730.html...

Steve... You just need to get yourself a decent antenna and you'll be set up...

Stick (aka rubber ducky) antennae should be thrown in the bin and NEVER used for FPV. You want a skew planar (4 leaf) for the goggles/VRX and either skew planar or clover leaf (3 leaf) for the VTx....

I totally agree Rob. Unless you're savvy enough to source a replacement battery and support the machine yourself when the inevitable issues come about, you're better off with a cheap netbook type o...

I agree with Simon (the other Simon!) - a cheap laptop is a better option as they are tougher. Having said that, I use a Microsoft Surface Pro in the field, which is a tablet, but that's only because...

Ooh I like that idea. I recently installed the V2 upgrade kit with its cool new acrylic lenses and I was forced to relocate the screen to the back of the enclosure due to my eyesight. Should have don...

I use Orange modules with a 9XR and two 9XR Pro's exclusively. I use both types of modules - the 2.5 year old Orange DSM2/DSMX module and it's great. In both a 9XR and 9XR Pro. My son uses this one...

I lost one some time ago, for a Durafly Trojan. The Durafly has no pilot in it so I suspect it's not mine.

Definitely flying quickly, but slightly, just slightly, beyond my capabilities Rob! Hence the crash... When you're racing you tend to push yourself a bit and that time I pushed it too hard. I w...

Thanks Jason! I'm shocked that the RunCam2 survived the impact. Mind you, it's in a 3D printed case so that helped. The protective case has a big crack right near the lens so I think I just dodged a ...

You'll like this one, it's a shorty but a goodie. It shows how much abuse these frames can handle. https://youtu.be/EcoSVUQS5fw

This one's only short and quite action-packed. Goes to show how much abuse some of these frames can handle. Needs sound for best effect. https://youtu.be/xNBCUAWoETo

Hmm, funny that. I always tell everyone to start with the defaults but everyone I've spoken to ends up trying to tweak it then regrets doing so... Save the PID and rate tuning until you've got your...

It's easy. Just hook it up to LibrePilot and follow the wizard. It even maps out the transmitter switches for flight modes for you.

It should be warm, but not hot. If your video's working, you will be fine. Just be careful to never run it without the VTX antenna and you should be fine...

I have exported my config, but can't upload it here. If you want it, send me a PM

Dirk, make sure you never have the quad powered on without an antenna on the video transmitter, or you could burn it out within a matter of minutes (seconds, even). Yes, the antenna connector will ...

Will PM the screenshots so you can see how it's done. If it allows me, otherwise send me your e-mail address. [hr] [hr] Picture of the frame where I have relocated the satellite receiver to. Also ...

I have to ask, because I've done this before: Lens cap? Reason I mention this is because if it's black, the VTX is working. Next thing is to try changing the channel to see if that brings up a "No ...

Thanks Jason. Yep, will get back to the club soon. I've only been able to fly an hour or two here and there which has made it difficult for me to get to the club over the last few monts, but I'm ke...

Racing and chasing... I was wearing the brown undies that day, for reasons that will become obvious a couple of minutes into the video. https://youtu.be/evX0lqdleSM

Hey Bob, I think you might want to get the receiver inside the quad frame when rebuilding this time around rather than on the arm as it was the last time I saw it. I think that'll save you a lot of...

Sounds great! At least one decent straight and some turns etc and I'm happy... 4S or 3S - it shouldn't matter.

Quad flips, split screen to provide ground perspective including some general speeding around the place. CRANK THE VOLUME! https://youtu.be/itzYeXl-r74

Just make sure you buy a couple of spare arms (I bought 8 as they were so cheap at the time), a VTX antenna and of course plenty of props. The 2 weaknesses of this model, which are easy to work aroun...

Ah man, wish I could have made it down today. Have fun guys!

And when you're ready for diversity you can get a diversity RX for about $70-80.

Hahaha I love the circuit, it's great. I've never seen heli's on the main circuit at the same time as planes though. The little heli area is pretty useless if you want to have some fun with a heli,...
