what a beast! DYS 1306 3100kv motors, swinging 3x4x3 props 10a mini multistar esc's cc3d atom running cleanflight 500mw vtx, 850mah 45c 3s packs

What chassis is that on the photos, looks nice

i turn around and 3 miniquads appear out of nowhere

i think ive got a bit too mental with this build emax 250 pro frame - but actually a 280 turnigy multistar elite 2204 2300kv motors either 5x3, 5x4 or 6x4.5 props 1300mah 3 and 4s packs hobbyking qbrain 4x20a esc 500mw 5.8ghz with 420tvl camera on 4s the damm thing nearly took off when i armed it, and the motors span at 15% throttle, its going to be so damm fast im scared of the trees it hits gonna break

latest mardave assasin pro, horrid build, lovely drive.

Tooth count / diamater = pitch

Right, time for rave and rant about my new favourite flight controller, the Naze32. its being made by some guy who calls himself 'Timecop' he is more into flying these things for fun, rather than photography, so he had a falling out with DJI, and he says it doesn't work with any current, past or future DJI frame. its basically a multiwii board, with a faster processor, and a smaller layout, the multiwii is a great platform and both this and the multiwii can have sonar, gps, compass, barometer for an all singing and dancing control board, but for me, I only need this for some stability, all in the thumbs. It also has the ability to use a OSD, although i haven't got it working myself yet, Frsky telemetry built in, and a voltage sensor, so it can warn on low voltage. Its a fairly cheap controller, and can be purchased for as little as

if you are making a diy quad, there are really easy ways of getting loads of range, just not really that legal in the UK i wanna use 433mhz 1000mw for my transmitter, and 800mw 900mhz for the video, with that setup, i should have a good 6-7 mile range if i use decent antennas

there is a heat of these at Bristol rc car club, its ace fun

DIABEETUS

Long range FPV aircraft, although not entirely legal frequencies may be used. 433mhz 1000mw for the radio, 900mhz 800mw for the fpv, ardupilot 2.5 ideally for the brains, maybe even customise the radio so its got a telemetry downlink through the radio, ideal range is 10 miles, ideal flight time will be 1hr

Weight is just another way of measuring the thickness of shock oils, but unlike CST, weight isnt a standard, and varies from manafacturer. most shock oil is from 5-60wt, what is about 250-800cst. for a fg, you might want something like 40wt in the front, and 15-20 in the rear, what is about 450cst front, and 300cst rear. anything more than 1000 is used in the diffs for a car, and is usually only in CST ranging from 1000cst all the way up to 2.5 million cst.
