Me too. Possibly in part 2

:) oh well, she may not fly for long. :cool: But fly she will.:) I am seeing this as a platform, not my forever build.;) Enough procrastination, it is time to build.

Frame ordered. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/292296790217 Double bottom plate - Tick Ignor the built in PDB. I am not planning to use that but buy a PDB to mount above it on standoffs.

the other advantage with that would have been that it was light to pick up, unlike mine or @Jackson 's :-) I read a book last year about ab English chap in Australia who bought an ex postman's motorbike and rode it back to the UK. Goes to prove you don't need an adventure bike to have an adventure.

Took the plunge on the 10 DOF as I found a UK seller with one for £20. Upgrade Naze32 SP Racing F3 Flight Controller 6/10 DOF With Barometer & Compass https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/262842760357 I guess that means, I have officially started my first build. Yippee :-)

Our Zen pilot :-)

Never ridden a cruiser @Jackson, sat on a mates recently. Comfort works. Sunshine and chrome go well together. Do you go on trips or weekend rides?

I suspect that was much more fun. 30mph on a desert tail would be quite fast enough as well.

Sorry @RENOV8R you did say that very clearly. Sorry for making you say it twice. :-) This reminds me of building PC's, oh if you get that motherboard your bottleneck will be the RAM or the hard disk speed etc :-) I am thinking the lower spec F3 may be good enough for now, to get her airborne...

Thanks for the link. @RENOV8R Am I looking at the wrong stat or do you think the advert is potentially inaccurate. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Seriously-Pro-SP-Racing-F3-DELUXE-10DOF-or-ACRO-6DOF-Flight-Controller-Naze32/262620641060?hash=item3d2568f724:m:mOBNKPHgXvpAg6yytGVB5BA

She looked fun as well as mint @HiDesertHal I did a quick YouTube. Sounded nice but not much in the way of brakes to stop from 40mph :-) This is what I currently ride.

Balancing rocks is one of my other hobbies. Others Food Travel Motorbikes Photography

Hi @RENOV8R , While the F3 10DOF is "Yuck" :-) The MPU 6050 is getting expensive. Cant see my build budget, stretching to the MPU 6050. But I am interested to clarify the "Yuck" :-) Poor quality? Is the 6DOF and better for a first build? Do you have personal experience of the F3 10DOF? I...

Quality find / post @Jackson he is a total prof type, but that said very easy to listen to and understand. His theory on the advantages or not of multi blade rotors was interesting and the section on power control to the motors enabling the uses of smaller ESC's; to pick out just two points. I...

I am think about this flight controller. Seriously Pro SP Racing F3 DELUXE 10DOF https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Seriously-Pro-SP-Racing-F3-DELUXE-10DOF-or-ACRO-6DOF-Flight-Controller-Naze32/262620641060?hash=item3d2568f724:m:mOBNKPHgXvpAg6yytGVB5BA As it seems to have the option for altitude hold...

Thanks for the pics and the ideas @mozquito1 Leds are now on the list and I have an old PC motherboard I could practice on. :-)

@holtneil , Can you retro fit a GPS control board to fix to an existing board as an upgrade? Or is it better to buy a board with that capability to start with? Thanks.

Sounds like a fun start.

Hi Steve, welcome. I am in Dorset.

Do you have any more pictures @mozquito1 from a bit further out to show the shape of the quad? My design is all about avoiding too much soldering. I want to do some but not too much :-) I have ordered a cheap Iron station today so practice beacons.
