    Geo / survey... What kit will be required?

    Yes, I am familiar with batteries etc... I can carry decent load for about 15-20 minutes... What are the 3 GPS type antennas on your machine?

    Geo / survey... What kit will be required?

    Hi, I am planning on doing a land survey on my uncles 18acre hillside land, more than half covered in woodland. My quad is flying and able to carry up to 4kgs of camera gear, so my a7 will be a doddle, tho, I need to stick to the gopro copy for practice! I was going to just make a video of...

    APM2.8 quad build, Issues

    I thought two of the pins on the large chip look odd, but my eyes are too bad haha, I could set up my macro bellows on my full frame camera (that means lighting also, which is all a bit much haha) but I think board has just gone bad, perhaps in the crash... this actually might explain why I...

    APM2.8 quad build, Issues

    Wow... messing up again! ha! I am now wondering if it's my RC receiver... It is quite random whether the Mission Planner shows RC connection or blanks... Tx always turns the Rx light on so am thinking there's a dodgy output someplace. It's 3 years old and been in a heavy crash... I tried a new...

    APM2.8 quad build, Issues

    Not flown it yet, but I seem to have it running, and motors spin up/down as quad is rotated, so that's positive! Some more testing, and hopefully, we'll get some airtime tomorrow

    Motor Choice - 2,5 kg

    I have used both with no problems. I fitted 30a escs, but if you add 40a, you can lift bigger weights...

    Motor Choice - 2,5 kg

    NTM Prodrive 35-36, 910Kv from Hobby King, excellent quality, and my 450 can lift an additional 3Kg with 11" props... I done think I can fit 12", tho, 10" CF props work very well

    APM2.8 quad build, Issues

    Hi, I have posted here, but it was quite some time ago. My quad project is well on the way, with all of the motors running via 30A esc's via Arducoptor APM2.8 . Motors are confg'd for H> quad, props balanced. It runs up very well, however with props on it flips on take off... When hand held...

    How do I flash this contoller?

    I am certain this is the same item I have, however, the software so easy to find under the "Files" tab lower down, tho there is plenty of info about the board. https://hobbyking.com/en_us/hobbyking-multi-rotor-control-board-v2-1-atmega168pa.html

    How do I flash this contoller?

    I do know that option, but cash is short, and I'd like to use this FC for a 3 axis gimble, somewhere down the road, so I need to get info anyway.

    Which KK version should I use?

    Hi. I began building my quad from scratch, learning along the way. 2 years ago, after it's first flight, and crash, I set it aside, until now. I seem to have forgotten some of the info I had gathered previosly, such as which model of controller I am using, and which version of Simon K software...

    How do I flash this contoller?

    I set my QC project aside a couple of years ago, after I cashed it 1st flight out... Finally, I'm working on it again, but can't upload the KKmulticopter software to the controller. Attached is a photo of the KK controller, I forgot the exact model, but it is KK2.1 perhaps? I keep getting...

    KK v2.1 Upgrade - advice?

    I reckon I'll be getting hold of one of these... Once I've learned to fly this one I'm building, assuming it's still alive, the old KK will go in my gimble project, and this will be an inexpensive upgrade...

    KK v2.1 Upgrade - advice?

    Hmm... There are 2 boards named " KK2.1".... One is the KK2.1 which like the KK2.0 has an LCD display. The other is an earlier design, called the KK v2.1, which is the one I have, and has no LCD or switches, just 3 pots and a USB flash interface... I know, I was confused for a while too. It has...

    KK v2.1 Upgrade - advice?

    Hi... I am currently fine tuning my first quad, which is controlled by a trusty old kk v2.1 board. However, I am already considering my next step control wise, as I want to use the kk board for another upcoming project and install something on the quad, which can incorporate a GPS in future. I...

    LiPo batteries grounding Boeing's Dreamliner again!

    Well... it would be less of a pain in the ass to swap batteries, than to build a steel case for each plane! Weird!!!
