As someone who never really got the hang of sketchup, this looks interesting. Free solid modeling tool, billed as a stripped down version of Inventor and keeping feature such as assemblies, constraints and .STL export.Downloading a copy…
Hi everyone,just a quick note to say thanks for all involved in the 2.x release. Really impressive and seems to have come a long way in terms of ease of use. Setup was so easy, I had to keep checking I hadn't missed something as it just all seemed…
Hi everyone, little out of touch here, I've not yet updated to 2.x and am a little confused about how X mode should be configured now. It seems the mission planner route (which is great as it makes firmware upload much easier) suggests that the…
"HI - i've had this issue too - cost me a couple of motors so far (everything soldered direct as well so certainly not the bullets) initially i swapped the ESC too but happened again on a new one. For me it was always the same motor - right."
Having recently developed an interest in CAD and modelling (i.e. industrial design tools not standing around in a bikini). I found this handy video on CadJunkie that runs over some of the different approaches some of the different packages take…
"@Zak - slight off-topic, but they do have an airframe is thats something you've been looking for

Hi, I'm looking at a project that needs a camera with an interval timer, and am thinking that a canon camera that supports CHDK could be a good way of getting the features i want. Does anyone have any experience with this, and if so could you write…
"According to the manual there are 2 cut-off settings, Cut-Off and Soft Cut-Off. Soft Cut-off is the default and this will "gradually reduce the output power". No further specifics are given, and i've never flown mine past the lipo alarm starting so…"

"hobbyking also have a 5.8Ghz system (waiting on one myself to try)
in the mean time, a quick look on google turned up this which may be of interest

"Hi this is a good idea,
I must admit this was something that early posts made me paranoid of, but always having the lipo connected seems to have done me more harm than good (so far costing me 2 motors and an esc), as for some reason i get a weird…"

"hi jani,
i found the components thanks but it was an assembled version i was looking for. I know I should probably try and put them together myself, but as Dave had already done the hard work seemed a waste of time re-inventing the wheel"

"Thanks i'll take a look. In the mean time if you could export a copy to 3ds that would be great. Is it possible to export all as the assembled model you posted the render of? For my purposes doesn't need to be very detailed, just need it to see if…"
"Thanks - i'm just trying to find some suitable CAD software to use as an outlet for my sudden bout of inspiration :)
sketchup is quite neat, but seems limited (cant join solids etc in the free one it seems). Does anyone have any suggestions for…"

"Hi Dave,
Are you able to output that assembled model to something that can be loaded into Sketchup, or another free/FOSS 3D/CAD package"
