Gotta challenge you on this one: You're partially correct in that HK's US EAST warehouse won't ship to Canada. However, their US WEST warehouse does (I'm in Ontario and have ordered from the WEST warehouse on several occasions) Can't argue with you over LiPo's though - ordering batteries slows...

Just had to go pick up the FTDI USB Adapter that I ordered from Banggood on the 27th Feb… it FINALLY arrived today! (Well, that's a lie - it actually arrived last Friday, but today's the first time I had a chance to drop-by the post office to pick it up!)

Oh hey now! Can I not look both beautiful and age-less whilst traversing the skies, and as my wallet is being remotely siphoned?!? ;)

Look at your order on HK's website - their invoice includes a line to the effect of: "HK absorbed PayPal fees" in the Order Messages section.

Quote Altsickeness from another recent thread: "Nice find! I bought a few of those batteries. The motors and escs look good too but i got to stop spending money for awhile. I almost bought a quantum falcon frame for $16 but stopped myself. Ha ha!" You SUCK at -not- spending money! ;)

...Or maybe your battery charger's FUBAR'd??

FYI: HK just dropped their pants together with the price for this DYS motor/ESC combo: http://www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/store/uh_viewitem.asp?idproduct=82992 And perhaps these batts - punchy little buggers, knocked down by 50%...

I have no experience of the Naze 32, but I can advise that full GPS functionality is not supported/capable on the 'standard' CC3D. For that capability, you need to consider the (more expensive) CC3D 'Revolution' controller - which I don't believe is an option with the kit you are considering...

Received the following e-mail from HK in my inbox this am - Might prove interesting reading for anyone considering a shopping spree anytime soon…! Swing into summer with the Hobby King Kong sale! Go ape for discounts of up to 90% off site wide on a range of awesome hobby gear. Whether it’s...

That makes sense, GJH - thanks. I'll extend my adjustments down through the 25% area too - that way I should (hopefully) eradicate this bird's propensity to fall in a rock-like fashion when attempting to land… wish me luck! ;)

So that throttle curve's a tricky thing to mess with, eh?!? By gently flattening the curve a little in the mid/75% section, she's MUCH less sensitive to changes in the stick position - now I can comfortably get the craft in the air, and then increase altitude in a MUCH more controlled manner…...

I bought one of these - no trimming necessary - the freakin' thing is TINY! (ordered Feb 27th, finally delivered just yesterday!) I *wish* it was slightly larger - it would then fit into the mount I picked up at the same time… as it is, the mount is ginormous compared to this itty bitty camera!

I was questioning the OP's quoted battery discharge rate, not the capacity or the cell count. IME lower discharge rates = a recipe for broken stuff!

Perhaps think twice about that battery… I bought a couple of the 3000MAH versions, then wondered why my XK380 kept falling from the sky. It wasn't that the battery was "bad" (per se), but that the discharge rate wasn't high enough to fuel the voltage requirements of the craft fast enough. These...

I don't think this is current any longer - the original date of posting was 17th Nov 2015, and the URL to the pictures/ad on the Australian "Gumtree" site is no longer live/available.

This took me a min to work-out, but I think I got your question… So your CW props will screw and lock-on in a CCW direction. That way, when the motor spins in the intended CW direction, the blades don't loosen and extricate themselves from the vehicular area! And the vice versa is true for...

True story - I grew up (and my parents still live) in the village right next to the these behemoths: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/RAF_Cardington Currently this bad boy is in the throes of final testing before her maiden flight (I hope all goes better for them than on my first couple of...

Whoops. I may have missed your comment there, J-man! Sorry...! Nonetheless, I'll be happy to start messing with this a little to try and tame her down (either that, or bugger it up good & proper...!)

Maiden flight time yesterday afternoon… lifted with ease, crashed with ease. Broke the downward-facing carbon legs & 2 props (you guessed it) with ease. Darn! The throttle is still SO sensitive! After further research, I've found that although I can't change the throttle curve on my Orange...

http://www.hus.sg These guys are working on UAV craft for agricultural/surveying purposes. They are reportedly developing hydrogen fuel cell-powered craft that they claim will be able to remain airborne for 4+ HOURS at a time… Might be with approaching them for further information for your...
