I thought it was about time to start a U.K group, mainly due to the time difference between us and USA, so members can discuss their issues here and hopefully get the help they require sooner? Also it possible there is someone living not far away from yourself that you could swap ideas with and get first hand help and advice with your project.

    No think 13 members in the group got me instead...

    Was flying yesterday and switched into altitude hold, then had no control what so ever, so the tri just drifted off until it finally drifted into a tree lost a prop then catapulted across a carpark and into the floor. Luckily it was just the Tri and camera that were smashed to pieces. Dont know what happened? when I looked at the apm2 for damage the blue light was flashing in groups of 3? I dont know what that means but it must have something to do with the incident?

    Tried the 2.5.5 code but cant get the yaw servo to reverse, and moving the servo is not an option so gone back to 2.5.4

    No I patched it myself? but I will upload and see if it makes a difference, because I was affected by the scaling issue... Thanks for the link

    Dean, are you using the new 2.5.5 code? It has a patch that fixes an issue with some of the APM 2 boards that have a different varient of the MPU-6000 sensor.

    Tested the Tri again today with the same settings apart from altitude hold and it was terrible? as soon as I switched it on it shot off at full speed towards a tree! I cant understand it? A little bit of wind but it shot off into the wind immediately

    I hope the weather for Lasham pulls through, I'm not far from there :)

     

    The tri is looking good :) How long are the arms on that frame?

A Newbie Question

Hello there,Have waited a long time to finally dive into DIY drone construction, but after a few years I wanted to jump into something that I love, but have only experienced through other people.I'm willing to spend sometime and money to do this right, buying parts instead of one ready to go kit; but of course I would like advice.I don't want to get into something too involved too early, as I think caution and going slow to get to grips is probably the best way with these things.Found this…

Hi all,I am Jason - 42 years old in the Midlands UK.I have been a recreational quad flyer for just over a year - using a flywheel f450 with a go pro - no fpv set up yet.I run my own specialised cleaning business and have done for 10 years but i would like to become CAA certified and i am just about to book the course. I would like to then get a better set up and then slowly start doing some commercial work, probably free at first to build a portfolio before setting about trying to make a career…
