Emax 2206 1900kv turned up but:(
10/13/2016 at 16:41 • 0 commentsOrdered 4x cw and 4x ccw, received 8x cw :( you just cant get what you order in this game. always something wrong always!
Im considering ditching all this. its suppose to be fun not stress and im getting nothing but stress.
I cant stress it anymore you have to be super super carefull in this game as every 1 is trying to mug you off and they do it knowing you cant or wont do anything due to the costs of shipping back vs price of items etc.
We have things like hack a day and other arduino type groups that will soon push these dodgey sellers out of the game and we will be able to get good tech for good price no risks. A matter of time before these companies get exposed and go bankrupt. Sooner the better but I cant see it happening for a lil while.
Hopefully the days of companies dominating by dishonesty,deceiving and out right lying will be over soon. or are people really this thick? if i out my gear up for 5x what i payed will people really come and buy it?
He done me a great deal on these motors so im not complain and again the price of shipping back would just leave me at loss so im buy another 8. maybe that was there plan? like i wont send them back as it would cost me half of what ive payed already so il just buy more? I was really happy and thoughy id found that 1 good company but nope
The plan was to get some motors, find out which give best performance for each application and then rebuild the motors when they do mess up.
Im awaiting my other pair of mt2204 2300kv motors and still searching for a pair of glb 2204 2300kv. This will give me enough motors for a few quadcopters.
At the minute im trying to decide on transmitters. The problem again is rip off companies charging upto 4x the price of other companies but even then companies that have them cheap have some crazy postage costs!!
I really feel like I cant win here. The hole industry is dominated by these people and I cant handle being mugged off, It would never happen face to face. worst thing is how paypal has there back too.
Ive looked into arduino diy transceivers and receivers and would like to go this way but when I try to talk with people on forums its like they dont want to help so im struggling. I really got alot of ideas for arduino from flight controllers to escs to fpv cameras, fpv goggles etc. I believe these can do everything and im so glad weve reached this stage in technology and im hoping so hard it whipes these rip off companies out. totaly forever! and in the worst way like im seeing, there products being bypassed by arduino erc i love it!
Im thinking get the arduino kits and small touch screens with spektrum gimballs then do a fibre glass case for them, same for fpv goggles but Im not techy enough to know what to get and what will do the job 100% and if i cant do something 100% i wont do it at all.
I wanted to just get flying quick as my aim was to get out racing 2017 and travel, Ive been hit with a bunch of health probs and want to do things I like etc this was 1.. I cant even find a legit drone racing organisation in UK. You got guys trying to make you buy insurance and pay 100 to use a local park that you can use for free!! lool its bad!! real bad! criminal bad in my eyes.
I really need some help and guidance with what I want to do and I just cant get it. People choose to just take advantage instead of help again something they wouldnt dream to do face to face.
Im thinking for now get 9xr pro transmitter but then you goto buy modules and then receivers etc its just a joke. But anyway plan was and is to get some transmitter and receivers. tbh I already bought some and got ripped off but what ever il have to buy more and hope for the best.
Im looking at the spektrum receivers with gps and looking to have them on all drones standard with something like multiwii or naze32. I cant get the help I need with my parrot ar2.0 boards. another rip off company.
I got alot of ideas and things id like to do but Ive just had operation and funds are not there like they usually are but even if they was id be building same way. Its the sellers that are pulling me down.
If I leave this and dont come back for a month its because ive had enough of being treated like a ideot and being ripped off. On top of that people dont seem to want to see you do well and get your builds done. Its like they want you to mess up like they have and waste cash like they have.
Im not like that, id sooner point you in right direction and save you from what ive gone threw but people in this game are not like that and tbh I dont want anything to do with people like that and may just ditch all this.
I know I stress this but its for good reason.
If you just want to get a quick drone and fly buy something rtf cheap like hubsan x4. if you want something half decent get a qav250 kit for 50 and a turnigy i6 for 30. people will have these all together for 200+!! You goto be so careful. yiu can easily built thise 500+ drones for 100bucks and even better too which is what my plans are.
Worse thing is when paypal actually protect these companies and quite happy to force you to send things back for refund knowing postage alone will be 2x the cost of original item. I got several like this right now for frames etc.
Then you get the payday loan guys. you buy off them and they send nothing hut you cant open a dispute for 10weeks or so!! and your forced to go that way as buying at home people want upto 10x the price.
Ive found 1 or 2 good sellers out of around 500. Im global source member and have been for years as I trade in many things. Im also with alibaba, made in china and all them places. Communicated with 100s of so called pro companies and yet to have 1 deal with me properly in the DRONE game.
From I can get samsung galaxys and iphones cheaper then drones 1 has to question what are you actually paying for as a drone dont even have 5% of the technology. I got old 35mhz tx that go further then any new 2.4ghz 1000 buck tx.
Maybe i get 3d printer and cnc and go arduino diy everything I dunno ive researched but when I need specific answers you kind of get be littled like your a ideot. some thing they wouldnt do in real life.

APM2.6 Arrived
10/05/2016 at 12:26 • 0 commentsAPM arrived today. price has gone up to 30 from 9 but I will watch and see if they come down again as I wanted a couple just wasnt aure about size.
This looks perfect for the 210 and the qav240 frame.
Been researching for suitable gps ect and could do with some advice on this as there is many and I believe the gps/compass is whats needed. searched modules and can find them but would like them cheaper.
Need to know what else required, planning to use clean or betaflight.
Whats best receivers for these? Im looking into transceivers and receivers right now and need a frsky diy stlye rf for tx. the work out what receivers to use.
Wil be ordering turnig x9r pros over next few week but for now I need to sort my tx out and work out what it needs.
Thinking of using tablets on top of tx for fpv eventually but for now its sort receiver and tx out then batteries.
MT2204 motors came but only 1 pair. they are not same as glb so meed to source 2x black top glb 2204 motors. best ive found is 27 a set which is crap compared to al the other sets of 4 you can get. id seener get the rs2205 type motors and most likely what I will do.
Goto order a 300 size frame and start getting answer on the parrot ar2.0 boards for now im more inclined to use the apm to get flying quick. depends if i need the sensors or not for the parrot boards.
Not looking forwards to software and told mrs she gona have to get haor laptop out and learn it all herself loool my aims racing right as a couple. Turn up with multiple quads. this is for summer next year though but i know we need to learn the software ect now.
A lil help please guys. Il work it out in the end as I believe with hit a time in technology were anything can be done and for cheap too. All the arduono stuff is a statement and its only just getting started. I learned real quick anything with rc, quadcopter ect demands a premium while you can find cheaper alternative under other titles.
Its a amazing time to be alive!

Ultrasonic sensor diy
10/04/2016 at 16:16 • 0 commentsThe Parrot AR2.0 boards and the ultrasonic sensor.
Need to know what ribbons required to connect it to the board.
Also need to know if it wil 100%.
Is there compatible camera sensors I can use as I understand the boards uses 2 but I only have 1 for 1 board so my priority is get this ultrasonic sensor attached and this hoard working will these even work with out the sensors?
Need to know similar camera sensors as this is all priced crazy.
Th boards £100 the 2nd part of the boards 50 the sensors 25 a piece. Can buy hole drone cheaper.
These board will let me use my phone to control the quad, also have gps ect.
Id like to add rf to these if possible too but not sure how far or when to move on these as the sensors leave questions. Again seller sold me boards knowing id need sensors but kept the sensors back basicly expecting me to go back and buy them individually. The invluded 1 camera with all 4 boards and want 5 each camera now"the small type" its a deal but they shouldve threw them in.
Id like to have all 3 in working 180to250 size frames eventually.
Not decided what my main 1st flight control boards will be yet. I do have apm2.6 on way but that was intended for 300 build and im thinking go totaly doy arduino on a 300 build.
Will have to see when it arrives as no way it will go on 210 frame. I do have 250 frame on way. Ive bought a few and been treated like a payday loan and never get the product. I need custom frames tbh but thinking go for a bunch of qav250 carbon frames. Just have lots of back ups but I already thought to replace broken arms with rotar arms but wont be able to use them for racing. think im do the 300 buold woth rotar arms and 1 servo.
Hmm Just waiting for escs, apm, motors, straps and looking to switch the dx6 or get a tx and all batteries asap oh yup need 2x glb 2204 motors not sure if the exact same as mt2204 bottom lip is different. may just use them with a paor of mt2204.
Will be looking to get rs2205 kind of motors as I get other things out the way. Not enough reviews on motors so not onvesting heavily. Would love to get real good motors that i could rebuild and set up with built in escs. Food for thought but not sure how good built in escs are for quadcopters or how quick they respond ect, open to options on these and may try a set. its no good if there not competative though as there price you can get good race motors all day.
I will sort tx rx and receivers out then get batts, thinking diy bat packs too but could do with some guidance.
Thabks for taking the time to look. Im mainly here to get some help with my builds thats all. Nothing but bad experiences so far, industry in a hole just wants to make quick buck from you and couldnt care if the product is for you or ot or if it even works, hence me not going x9 straight away. people get brand new broke txs and get stuck with them. Its wrong..
Im real interested in putting together a nano all in 1 with gps, escs,gyro ect all in 1 small reliable systems.
May get boards made for myself as cheap naze32 ect dont got gos right? gps as safety feature is a must on all my builds. Also looking for cheaper solutions on modules. Theres different types. I understand I need gos with compass for amp2.6 which i think is neo7 ublox or above. id like to know if lower end models can be used. I just want failsafe return home or return to tx if that makes sense.
Want to add hos to al builds so need a cheap option module I can buy a few of. same may apply to gyros, borametric I understand the 280 bora and the 6050 gyro are best but need guidance and to know if any cheap nazeor cc3d boards support my needs otherwise im looking to diy flight controlers with gps, gyros ect and bulk buy few of each.
Think thats about it. Please comment your thoughts as I really need guidance. Cant see why I cant just plug tablets into my tx and rx and control with them which is exactly what the parrot ar2.0 boards should do.

dx6 dsm hack
10/04/2016 at 15:42 • 0 commentsDonar DX6 for custom. Think Im use all in one protocol with a tablet for fpv or phone in middle. Get a carbon case and front plate.
Got conned with this too.
