Here's a bit more ground recorded video from the QAV-250 http://youtu.be/syDvw4gDvpw

Hi Bob My SK450 runs 4 20A Afro esc's and 850 KV motors with 11X5 props I'm using a 3S 10C 5200 Lipo pack. From memory it's only pulling about 15-18 amps in hover that's with all the motors going. ...

Looks like a good kit for someone who has quite a bit of experience flying quads FPV my feeling is that if the controller doesn't have alt hold mode then it's not good for a beginner flying FPV. You r...

[hr] Ive recieved a few of these from PCC they asked me to pass them round the members Please make a note of the phone number add it to your phone contacts and report the buggers at every opportunity...

You can see it suffers from a little bit of break up behind the trees but this is pretty good for 5.8 gHz there's also a bit of break up on the edges of the antenna's beam, It's quite directional wit...

Been doing some more testing The aomway patch antenna works good Will post some video later tonight hopefully

Here's a quick review I found comparing FPV cameras. The camera makes a big difference to how nice it is to fly. There is another later version of this camera that works better is more compatible wi...

Have fun Wayne and take heaps of Pics!!

I did some more testing with the 4 way diversity box from HK with the four 12.6 db helical antennas I made and it's been working brilliantly. I found I could fly anywhere in McCoy park with out e...

Here's a bit more video from Coober Pedy taken with a Sony action cam on my SK450 http://youtu.be/7g-dMbn6dgo

I have tried the version Quanum DIY FPV goggles and I must say they are very impressive and for the price are excellent value. I've had them set up on the diversity box and had flawless video with the...

Thanks Wayne !! I thought as much going by the amount of rain we've had this week Have a great trip up north, see you when you get back mate

I've never been but it sounds like a good weekend I'm planning on going to the large scale racing in Canbera later this year That should be a lot of fun!! I've got a machine to race in the "red b...

me too should be good!!

I reckon the QAV250 is easier to fly FPV than the SK450 main advantage of the SK450 is that it can carry more battery and a bit more weight disadvantage is that it's a lot slower to respond. T...

the skyzone RC700D looks like a nice unit!! Youll have to put together a 250 size quad Simon One thing I would do is make a good shroud to go around it so it fits almost like goggles. I've flown...

probably not a good idea to park across the drive way just in case there's an emergency

Diversity is probably the best alternative to having an antenna tracker. Especially when you have 4 way diversity and 4 reasonably high gain antennas. I set this one up to almost give 180 degree cover...

Yep its still on Weather seems to be holding out here

I had a look at the field this morning Its still a bit too damp to drive in so its going to be a walk in day tomorrow The damage is not not too bad it certainlt looks worse than it is Sharpie an...

Nice Videos bob !! I might give one of those a go at some stage

I just got my self a kit for one of these gizmos, It's taken a while but I finished it the other day and it seems to work nicely I've been a CAD user at work for quite some time so I thought it might ...

good luck tomorrow Wayne !! I'm sure it'll go well.

I went for a look late this afternoon the ground is still wet and muddy but the water on the strip has subsided a little If the weather's nice tomorrow there's no reason not to take a hand launche...

Yes playing music certainly has a lot of those I can suddenly do it moments Its funny how it's easier to practice the piano for an hour than get even 15 mins stick time in!! even so it would take me ...

Good stuff Bob I've got a copy of real flight, the FPV is good value!! and the flight model for the aerobatic planes is pretty realistic too !!

Hi Wayne, Hope your well and truly on the mend !! I've been down to have look at the field this afternoon and the news is in no way good. There is water over most of the strip...

Hi Bob what I have found is that good antenna's make all the difference!! I did in the past, play around with some 1.2 Ghz sets but the antenna's are too big for anything but a decent sized fix winge...

They certainly are hard to fly when the C of G is too far back

Congratulations guys well done !!

It was windy I was going to head down for a little while but looking at the way the weather was I just put my lipos back to storage I'll try again next weekend

It would be good we could do some of that I'll bring down some of the bushcare bags and I'll contact Talia and ask if the council could pick them up and take them away

G'day Wayne, Its really good to hear your well along the road to recovery!! Look very much forward to catching up in person soon All the very best and take care now

Has anyone been down to the field to have a look and see if its starting to dry off a bit?

Looks all right Bob I quite like the idea of a dirty section for the ESC's motors etc and the clean section for the flight controller and cameras

Yes it was getting cold and late at that stage

Welcome to the forum Sujit, Looking forward to catching up with you down at the field

Hi Bob The solder I'm using is .9 mm but it should'nt matter if it's a bit thicker or a bit thinner. Just tinm the wires first and it should go nicely

If it's new joint I always tin both sides as Samste says fill the stripped end of the wire with solder completely first then tin the pad on the distribution board then push the wire together with the ...
