About Me:
As teenager I flew RC gliders and have had an interest in flight for most of my life. the past few years I have been flying mainly helicopters and autogiros but now have started flying quadcopters
Please tell us a bit about your UAV interest
I now have a TBS Discovery with an APM 2.5, telemetry and a video camera and transmitter. I am just getting used to flying FPV.

"Nero,
A DJI 450 maximum weight is 1600g so at 1200 it should be ok but a smaller 4S battery would liven things up.
The battery is it a 4S? I had a 450 running on a 2200 mah 3S battery and whist the flight characteristics weren't aerobatic I am…"

"Hi,
I am new to the group and I am interested in using a APM2.5 to control a sailboat.
Has anybody compiled a program to control a sailboat using this controller?

"All,
Anybody flying at the moment. I have built and flown a TBS Dicovery Quad Spider.
It flys much more stable than the DJI450 and I now have more room for all the gear that now adorns it.
Any new drones in the air in this group?"

"Anyone here using the Ardupilot android App?
I am using it on my phone attached to my transmitter. I get just as much information as I wuld have from a laptop. You can use it to create missions but I have been using the laptop for that and the phone…"

"Steve,
It is great news that you have finally have the Hexacopter in the air. It must have been a little frustrating to have had to wait so long. It is unfortunate that you have had to spend a bit more money to get the thing off the ground.
Just…"

"Steve,
Hopefully you won’t have to wait much longer for your controller to arrive.
Lately I have been buying my gear through local suppliers such as: uavrobotics here in Australia and Mongrel gear based in Yass and a really local supplier, zeejay…"

"Steve,
I would like to see some photos once you have set up your ground station.
I am relying (for the moment) on just a laptop attached to a 3DR robotics radio for my telemetry but I also want to use a composite video to USB converter attached to…"

"You are right about not discharging batteries more than 80%
Discharging a battery by 70% is the same as saying that there is 30% left in the battery.
I have flown my quad up to 100m but only under auto mode and at that height from the ground you…"

"Steve,
How did you go assembling your hex? It would be good to see some other multirotor drones flying iin Brisbane.

"Johar,
Thanks for the information about the body of your Quad. I like that there is enough room to fit everything that you need and the little extras like the peep hole for the GPS.

"Johar,
Is that your own design? The arms look like form a DJI flamewheel but I don't recognise the "body".
It looks great and seems to have plenty of room.

"Angus,
My quad is running on 30 amp DJI Opto ESCS and my telemetry the same make as yours and on the same frequency.
I have found the RTL mode a great way of getting out of trouble as well as loiter when you just need a few seconds to orientate…"

"I have now flown a DJI 450 with an Ardpilot and 3D Robotics Telemetry. I set some of the waypoint to fly above some landmarks to gauge how accurately it was on track. I am very pleased with how well it is working and even just in stabilize mode it…"

I have DJI 450 flame wheel with a APM Ardupilot and I have just added a 3D robotics telemetry board.
I have already flown it in Stabilize, LOiter, Position hold and Auto modes.
It is strange seeing it fly itself. I have already made some…"
