Ric,
No problem mate don't worry about it, but just so you know and so we can clear the air, I have a degree in aerospace systems engineering and my project which won a first prize in a European UAV competition was designing a UAV from an…

Moe, I am sorry my comment was so blunt and I realize it in fact sounded quite mean.
There are so many people (kids I guess) who stop in to this site and just say "Wow, I wanna buy one!". I have always been frustrated by window shoppers…

Jonny,
Thanks for your honest opinion, if possible for you can you please suggest a good package I can buy now easy star aircraft and a good 6 channel transmitter

Moe
Forget about autopilots and cameras for a while, prtend they don't exist!
In the meantime, buy yourself a decent quality Transmitter with at least 6 channels, a flight simulator that is compatible with your transmitter and PC and start…

hahaha well mate let me tell ya something I'm still stuck on what to buy as my aircraft and whether to buy a ready to fly easystar or a kit and buy the transmitter separate, or buy different sertain bits and bobs that make it better. so…

For those have a PCtx , do you use servo commander ?

yeah especially here was raining all day looooooooooong:((

Moe, there are some pretty good cheaper 2.4Ghz transmitters on the market, if you are in the UK I would take a trip down to WHSmiths and buy a copy of RCME, (Radio Control Models & Electronics) and put the kettle and sit down for a read of the…

Here are the frequencies in the UK:
35MHz Band - for Airborne use only in U.K.
Frequency band approved in U.K. - 34.945 to 35.305MHz.
Frequency flag - Orange flag with channel number in black.
This band is for airborne use only in the…

at first something easy to learn how to fly, then defiantly an autopilot, camera etc. I've understood that in order to use the PCx you will need to have a controller with a trainer , and everyone is telling me that the easystar is a good option…
DougB replied to Moe Bahrami's discussion 'Controlling a UAV via Joystick'
It looks like your in the UK and I don't know what frequency's you can use there. Also, you need to consider what extra stuff you may want to add like a camera with video downlink, telemetry and so on. Give us an idea of what your future…

Doug, I'm thinking about buying the Easystar but my understanding is I need a controller for it can you please give me some hints on how to purchase a good combination of components, if you have face book you can add me, Moe bah.
Thanks

I've never (yet) had a problem flying with the PCTx, there is some latency but for normal flying its ok, you can't do 3D heli stuff with it. At the field the PCTx plugs into my JR9303 which is being held by my 19 year old 3d heli pilot son…
DougB replied to Moe Bahrami's discussion 'Controlling a UAV via Joystick'
Moe,
I use the PCTx and it works well. I've flown Heli's with it too. I would stay away from trying to reverse the controls, as the plane is coming in to land there is not much room for error, as the plane flys past you you would need to…
Moe Bahrami replied to Moe Bahrami's discussion 'Controlling a UAV via Joystick'
hahaha that will be one hell of a scene, virus scan=)) thanks for the advise
Nick Sargeant replied to Moe Bahrami's discussion 'Controlling a UAV via Joystick'
I would have to back up what Thomas and Garry Have said.
The PCTx is you best choice but it is only going to add control latency, make your system more complex (and therefore more prone to failure) -especially if you are planning to use it on an…

There are so many people (kids I guess) who stop in to this site and just say "Wow, I wanna buy one!". I have always been frustrated by window shoppers and sometimes forget my manners.
Perhaps my frustration with gawkers got the better of me and I did not show you the helpful side of members here at DiyDrones.com
Again, I am sorry for my rude behaviour and I wish you the very best in this project.
