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.

    Dean, do we have lift off?

  • Distributor

    Hi Malcolm,

    No go on the GPS, as Dean said the FedEx man came with a bunch of items but no GPS units, the store said they would be shipping on the 8th when I ordered them, but they still show pending shipment :(

     

    I will call them later when they get in to work.

     

    Regards

     

    Martin.

  • Ok dean no problem i'll call him later today...

  • Hi Dudz, here's a pic of my Y6. I've make some landing gear from carbon fibre.3692464587?profile=original There's about 5mm of clearance from the props. I've then duck taped fibreglass rods in a X while im learning.

    When i get a spare couple of hours ill cut somthing like this for the upper and lower props that will also act at landing gear...

    Can you post a photo Patrick, maybe one of us can come up with something?

  • Hi martin, did the Ublox Gps arrive today? i'll pop down tomorrow if they did :)

    Do you know that on a Tricopter the rear motor has to be able to move on a servo?

UK Newbie

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.
