What arrived today?

[Ratty]

Yer i know. Unfortunately we have to send them out in batches as we are charged for every order. So to keep costs down we dont order until we have about 20 to order, or it has been so long we feel they need to be sent out.

(be sure to turn the auto renewal off if you dont want it on, we have changed it so it is off by default now, but i think it would of been on when you joined)

A big bunch of packages through the door



Which included some Racestar ESCs (which I think are Dshot compatible), a 60A ESC (for the SkyHook or the MiniRaceWing... dependant on what else arrives) an Eachine VTX03 (for the Wii Wing 2) and some props for the Aurora100.  Then a few non-fpv bits - a little LED number thingy (arduino-style project) and some bits for a new camera I got.. which is just a bag,m and a filter to protect the lens

LOL CK your life is just like Xmas every day  :P

[CurryKitten]

My hint is to place loads of individual orders for cheap stuff which you then forget about and get multiple little presents through the door.... ok, so they look like they've been wrapped in bin bags, but still fun to open :)

I hate all this waiting.  :(
Still now sine of my Aurora100 from BG and who nose when my Dji Goggles will get her. I think Dji is hoping to send some sets out in June, I have ordered my ones from Foxteck worked out cheaper than buying from Dji so?

Ok, well the remainder of my big order blowout (about £20 if my wife asks) has arrived from Banggood (and one ebay thingy)



In the big white box, a Martian III frame.  I have these 2206-2600kv motors I haven't been able to put to good use, so combining them into a (hopefully) little light frame for maximum stupidity.

On top of that are 4 8x8 LED matrices for another non-fpv project

Left another 60A HobbyKing ESC, little packet on the right of that is a FrSky compatible 8CH PWM rx for the Wii Wing 2, and also for the Wii Wing, the box contains a DYS 1104 motor, and the two packets on the right are the tiny 1.9g servos for it.

Which means I have all the parts for my Wii Wing 2 build - yay :)

I was noticing where everything comes from today - as I tend to order every bit individually so if something going to get lost it's only going to be one thing rather than everything.

So stuff has come in the past week (all from Banggood main China warehouse) from Thailand, China, Hong Kong, Seychelles.  I'm sure I've had stuff before from Malaysia as well.  I wonder where the Aurora's are shipping from.  There's 2 others as well as G that ordered one which haven't come yet.

Motor and camera for my MT. I've given up waiting for the sunnysky I ordered from Banggood and got the t motor from electricwingman instead for not much more along with my first run cam.

It's finally arrived, all looks good, but I'm having problems with it.
It binds to my Futaba with a FrSky mod, but when its connected to the Betaflight, it looks like my controllers are all over the place, so I can't arm it or test it.  :(
I have a friend with a Taranis controller, he's going to test it on that for me.

[Roundozo]

It's finally here!! A clean piece of kit. Granted I need to extend the motor wires but she still very tidy and also has saved some weight. I give you.....the....... Flycolor Raptor S tower

In the post today (well I actually had to go and collect those props from the post office depot - not sure if petrol cost me more than the props)



This is part of the quest to get the MXP230 with 6" props flying smoothly.  The previous props have been terrible, but I like DALPROPS on my other quads, so I've got a set of 6040's and another of 6045's to try out.

More interesting is the stuff below it, which is a product called DroneKeeper Mini from a Korean company NicheTek.  After I put up a video showing me search for a friends down quad in the woods, someone suggested I should use these.  I'd never heard of them, so had a look. 

You have a little 6g buzzer + battery which starts going off if no movement is detected and it can sound for a few hours.  I thought it might be a potential easy solution for when you lipo disconnects and your model could be 4ft away from you but buried in long grass.  I'll have a good test of them anyway.

I have one of those DroneKeeper and I swap it between my quads and planes and they are great. The battery lasts ages between charges. Saved my quads a couple of times. Best thing since sliced bread.

Hi Ian,
               Bugger, hope it arrives soon for you...Mine turned up in just two days...I wish the Bangood EU Warehouse had more fpv stuff....its very limited dont you think..?
  £36 is the cheapest its ever been I think, it was on Promo tho...What a bargain for such a well engineered foam plane..
