"Very nice !!! Can you maybe upload some specs regarding motors, ESC and prop size. Did you build the frame ? Is that the 10mm x 10mm carbon fibre sqr tubing from Hobbyking that you used for your arms ? "

Andre Lochner commented on Owen Booth's blog post Version 10 of my Custom Frame for AC2
"Very nice setup ! Just one thing that I noticed that seemed curious. You place your sonar right beneath your battery. As far as I know placing the sonar close to high currents can cause interference.

Andre Lochner replied to Scott Zerby's discussion Arducopter #DR
"Have you binded the radio to the receiver while plugged into the APM ? It will not work if you bound to the receiver without the APM. See this thread http://www.diydrones.com/forum/topics/spektrum-dx8-and-ar8000?xg_so...

Andre Lochner commented on Alexander's blog post Look what came out of my reflow oven!
"Very nicely done ! How easy was it to source components ? I live in SA and here it is extremely difficult to source components unless you order large quantities, and you have to wait a long time. "
