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

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.

tight squeeze these mini quads
compared to my H quad
things to do-
wait for new motor and esc to arrive
configure naze32 control board
make sure all my FPV gear works
configure MinimOSD to work with the naze32 board
fly that thing into a tree or something trying to do some sport fpv flying

Daily bmup, this is a great deal, and i wanna sell it on here and not ebay!

Due to me not using it often, my increasing focus on racing, and growing interest in aircraft, im selling the hong nor.
Used to be Bez's, until he sold it to me for funds for his chaser project, comes with everything you need to run, apart from radio gear, but i have a modified DX3S + reciver i could sell with it for an extra

make sure the esc's are not in low voltage cut off mode at all

use the ACC trim in the self level to try ang get it hovering steady
Show us Yer quad!
