In over 170 orders from HK I have only had one item that did not work properly. That was a pin vice that did not center the drill bit. Oh and my temperature controlled soldering station packed in yesterday after two years. So I ordered another for $15. Cheap does not necessarily mean unreliable...

Check all your connections... When you are sure they all work, do it again. If any seem sus swap motors and ESC positions to eliminate bad ones. In all my flips, shudders, jitters and brick imitations it has been a bad connection or motor failure. Good luck, if it all seems pointless give it...

Google 'Easyout'...

I saw one like that a while ago... It looked quite old so he has been doing it a long time... I was amazed at the detail... The moving camera should be quite easy now with a head tracker fixed to your goggles...

I would say yes....!

It's all coming together great Lee, well done... If you go straight across and turn left when you hit North Africa (Libya) and travel a few hundred miles you will come to a place called Timimi. That was my home for six months until Kadafi took power and kicked us out...!

It used to take three weeks to five weeks here as well... I've been using HK for over two years and now is the quickest it's been... Of course thats not two say it will not slow down again later.... Maybe the time of year because we know it all stops at Xmas... Perhaps they want to get in...

I'm getting stuff in a week to ten days... Just got the 25A plush in today... Been waiting ages for them.. Should get them next week... (Off Topic) Ordered some EVA solar panel encapsulation, metre long rolls from China last week... Arrived yesterday, Monday....

Nice Lee... I think you will be stood at that bus stop for quite a while before a bus comes along....

Looking good Lee...

Hi Lee, I have a sort of jig that I put the motor and ESC on to check them before installation. Also use it to balance motors. I try to hide everything in the arms so they are hard to get at later. Testing one the other day and out popped the 'magic smoke'. Seemed to be a lot of it. Anyway...

They were typical multi-rotor motors to turn a quad into a hex... I expect the packer had been packing them in fours for quad orders and did the same with mine... Might make an octo now..lol

That just about sums it up Taiza... So you pay your money and take your chances... I paid for two new motors on my last order and received four, so it's not all bad... LoL.

I made the wires like that so I can plug the motors straight into the ends. So swapping motors is easy. I have six bigger 750kv motors I can swap to get more lift for FPV maybe. I fitted connectors inside the end plugs with hot glue. Here's a few pics...

That was the arms you put on the one you got a mate to CNC for you...? We have a hardware supermarket chain here called Bunnings. They had these lengths of tube in powder coated brown and plain. You can get plastic connection pieces to build modular shelving frames etc. One piece had five...

When I came back to RC a few years ago I was surprised how it had turned to electric. When I left the only battery on the model powered the Rx and servos. Now it looked so clean and tidy that I thought I would get back into it. There was a lot to learn so off to the LHS to find out more. I still...

Hi Travis, I nearly got the DX6i a couple of years ago. Was on the verge of buying when that DSM2/DSMX trouble started and models started crashing. So I held of, seems to be sorted now. I get as much, if not more satisfaction from the mods I make to my radios than I do using them. I would be to...

That is what makes the 9x so popular. Everything is so cheap. I have set mine up for variable servo/ESC throw. I've mixed one of the rotary knobs (P3) with the stick movements, except throttle, So I can dial in what percentage I want. With a new model, mostly multicopters, I start with about 25%...

Yes all the frills of the 9X's make them attractive, but they can't compare to how a Spektrum performs. That's what I am hearing everyday from lots of different forums... The 9x is just a good cheap radio, but once you go ER9x or OPEN9x or SKY board there is no comparison...

Just been reading about the Spektrum DX18. Looks nice with good graphics, but I would never spend that much on a radio... And it will not even do this.... It will play whatever sound files you put on the SD card (yes it has one). You can link them to switches to sound when activated. Gear...
