I've got a CLRacing F7 on order. Of course I found out my rx is a dinosaur too, one PPM output for each channel, no SBUS, so have upgraded that too. It's amazing it ever managed to fly at all really...

hahahas, I'm sooo behind the times ! Excellent advise all, thanks very much

as per my previous thread, I'm in the process of rebuilding my 450 quad and upgrading its parts, and I'm now looking at flight controllers. Rather than use the existing KK2.1.5 board I've got, I'd like to upgrade it to either a Naze32 Rev6 or a CC3d 32 bit, or something of similar spec...

just been reading up on stuff - oh my word I'm so behind the times - ESCs with SimonK firmware and built-in BEC, my PDB is just two strips on a circuit board that everything is soldered into - yuk, definitely time to upgrade. I'm liking the looks of those ESCs, and a regular Matek pdb works I...

thanks mate, will have a look at those

any thoughts ?

Oops, it's been a long time since I last posted on here, apologies for that, how is everyone ? Anyway, last time I was out had a little bit of a crash... full speed head-first into the hillside while I was, ahem, practicing without auto-level. The two front frame arms pretty much...

hmm, that Sticks Adjust might help, I'll give that a go

Hi all, I've recently noticed that my yaw doesn't seem to stay in trim. I suspect it's my transmitter, but the whole thing seems a bit odd, so I though I'd let you know my symptoms and see if anyone has any ideas: - FlySky FSi6 transmitter, and KK2.1.5 board - i've recalibrated both gyro and...

bumping an old post, I know, *and* nothing to do with quads, but I thought I'd post up a few vids of my rockcrawler in action. It was great fun to build and really fun to drive !

is there an approved way of disposing of these ? i've got one that's down to 3 minutes fly time now, time to replace

make sure you get it cleaned properly, I had a scare with infection in my finger this year, nearly turned into septicaemia, 4 trips to A&E, 2 nights in hospital, operation under local anaesthetic, and I'm left with a mallet finger for life, not fun - make sure you don't pick up an infection !

sounds interesting, can you give us more details ?

Nice ! Were those face-on shots shot with the drone too, or from a vehicle ? I think i'd be particularly nervous riding straight at a bunch of spinning blades on my bike !

please please please don't do anything hasty, it's just not worth it. Mike's right, it's a very frustrating hobby - great when it's going right, but things do get lost, break, fail, crash, fly into trees etc etc and that's all just part of it - those things won't change, it's just part of the...
