Hi there all

I'm new here and am wondering how many people are doing FPV in the Southern Perth area, if at all. Would be interesting to know some good sites for testing, and possibly sharing some ideas on setting up some Ardupilot 2.0/UAV/FPV systems, with the possibility of developing a environmental mapping platform for agriculture/mining use. Anyone interested?

Yeah, we're all still here. Just pretty hard getting everyone together. Plus my Raptor went in the river a week and a bit ago... Just finished repairing it, but heading offshore with work so it looks like no flying for me in the near future. This probably isn't a bad forum to organise a group meeting. Maybe you should start a new topic and get the ball rolling.

just wondering if this group is alive and where is everyone flying? is there a weekly meeting of some sort? :)

James - No information, just what I read here: http://www.aeromodellerswa.info/windsocks/windsock1206.pdf

Hai - any idea where the FPVers were flying?

According to the minutes of the Aeromodellers WA Council Meeting in the Windsock magazine, CASA contacted the MAAA and advised them that some FPVers were being taken to court for flying 2km from an airport and the CASA would be taking breaches seriously.

Hi TK, welcome. I'm into quads as well - Arducopter variety.

Welcome ootktk! Just round the corner from you, in Willetton.

Hi everyone, my name is TK and I'm new to the scene! Just started flying quads recently and have been hooked ever since! I live in Riverton and started flying with the Blade mqx micro quad before decided to build a larger one from hobbyking parts. It's good to find this group and hope it's a good place to share/obtain some tips and tricks.

Sure did mate. Not assembled yet and I still need to purchase servos. I'm a long way off flying it. I'm saving it up for when I get the rest of my CASA theory completed. It is a really large airframe and I will be requesting special permission from CASA to fly the aircraft at a higher altitude (1500 ft). Location also to be confirmed. It has the potential to do some damage if it goes wrong. It will also be carrying some VERY expensive telemetry gear (3 independent telemetry streams for redundancy) so lots of testing and setup to do on the electronics front. I hope that it will eventually be quite a professional setup.

Undercarriage is just loosely assembled so I can move it around the workshop (main legs are on backwards) build quality is quite good but will require reinforcement in undercarriage attachment points.
