About Me:

Started out with a Quadcopter Kit by Uair - R10, I then caught the bug and haven't stopped since. I've built up a FPVManuals QAV500 and now recently a replica DJI 450 flamewheel frame


Please tell us a bit about your UAV interest

Currently I have only been playing with Quadcopters, but I'm very interested in building a Tricopter next and then a heavy lifting Hexacopter for Aerial Photography

Gareth Schmidt replied to Gareth Schmidt's discussion QAV500 strange issues with APM2.5 (3.0.1 firmware)
"Wow, this was back in Aug 2013. I left it for a few weeks after that, recalibrated the ESCs and got the latest version at the time, been flying ever since. It's such a stable platform for a quad, love the QAV and the APM. Thanks for the replies"
