    Which Phil :)?
    I'd be nervous with the plane that far into the city. I'm too used to the open space we have out here in the country...
    I will try and make it down to Melbourne sometime soon to meet up with all of you...

    Well the base level one will do well at 15m/s and max out at about 17m/s at sea level.

  • Finally received my APM 2.5 from jDrones, so I might come to one of the next catch ups, preferably once I get that sorted out. Otherwise I might drop down with my F450 again now that I've nearly got my FPV setup all sorted out nicely.

    Great! Thanks Phil. I really want to see this ground station! I'll call you once I'm close. Cheers
  • Should still be here. Haven't started yet. Moving spots as there are too many people. Call me on 0421105951

    Hey guys, I won't be able to make it until 11:30ish. Will you still be around?
  • Ill be there. I won't be empty handed this time. Ill bring the groundstation trailer I have been working on for some show and tell. Not at all ready to fly yet but progress is going well.
  • If you get the chance, upgrade the board. http://www.ersky9x.net/

    I'm using an ersky9x board from this canadian manufacturer and have been quite happy with its design that will scale with time.

  • I have the Fatshark Predator V2 set... works a treat (although it was delivered minus a camera... bevrc were on to that quick and had one to me within a week from China... not a bad effort on their part). I would call it a good setup for a first time FPVer (such as me) as it's very much plug and play... But... I would advise (and I did this), grab a pair of circularly polarised antennae and a 600mW transmitter.

  • I've got the Dominators and I've heard they're pretty good. Haven't actually tested them on my quad yet though, but testing with the cam plugged straight in and just playing around with the Vtx they were pretty good.
