I guess I need Tom to agree as well, but it's just an esc and I don't want either of us to pay $15 just to get it to Canada. I'm just looking for the cheapest method. Most of the parts I was getting were frame parts anyway. Last thing. Seeing how I've purchased far more than an equivalent RTF witespy quad in parts over time from you. Could I get your CD as I mentioned before. Pretty please
If that's ok Paul. Please send it to him. And Tom, I'll send you an email before I order those frame parts.

Hey tanasit. Back to your last pic. I love the colour scheme the canopy of your trY. Was that a stock colour or did you paint it?

This is no problem, just email us after the order so we can include the esc... and I will check with Paul to make sure he hasn't already shipped it.

Question on lights and color. I've spent about an hour or so at night in recent months and have had no problems with seeing what the air vehicle was doing. I normally use green on right side of vehicle and red on left side. This is standard avaition set up and normal to me as I fly full size vehicles as well. I mispoke on colors on the nose as they are white which lights up the Jack antenna ball on the nose. Blue is used on the aft end and has not proved a problem although it is different than that used on full size vehicles. ed

Thanks Tom.
Gotta pop out but I'll do it up tonight and then email all parties.
I'll email you because of one problem I notice in ordering.

I'm trying to play around with the PID and so on to get the quad to a good starter setting.

One thing i've noticed is that the quad does not match up properly with the image on the Multi WII.

I can turn the quad and the image changes on screen, but the do not line up right. Is this fine or something I need to change.

Also I've copied the PID settings from another beginner on this forum. Do they look ok?
I'm really having a hard time getting my head around the PID settings.

Thanks for the help.

Someone please correct me if I am wrong, but the way the image points on the screen relies upon the mag sensor. I have tried pointing mine exactly north, and then calibrating the mag sensor, and it has not changed the position of the on-screen image... but I don't think it actually matters. The mag positioning mode will work just fine regardless of this, because it can still calculate the direction it is facing when activated, and correct for that. It doesn't really have to know what direction is north.

I know earlier on someone used pool noodles on the legs to cushion landings and I will probably try that as I try and sharpen my flying skills.

I am also wondering if the semi ring on the floater in the thread I linked to would work instead of individual links of pool noodles on the legs.

YMMV

Once the lake freezes, I will go back and do ice skating.

I got it from *bay for $6.20 FREE shipping from Hong Kong.
There are tons of those with various color schemes.
Look for Align Trex 450 Helicopter canopy.

Hey Paul and Tom,

I'm really interested in the Hoverthings FPV frame and the Naza controller. I don't suppose you guys are going to put together any RTF versions of that combo? I got to thinking, in my old age I should let the pros put one together for me and the ones you guys build always look good.

Just curious...

Thanks,
Paul

The Witespy quad with Naza is listed on the Hoverthings site. This is the RTF version. http://www.hoverthings.com/ready-to-...lack-naza.html

Close, but I'm actually more interested in pairing the Naza with this version of the Hoverthings frame:

Weather is looking better for tomorrow……I hope to fly my WiteSpy

Yes, not long now. We are finalizing the FPV frame and gearing up to cut a bunch of them for builds. We are trying to get caught up first on the 450 frames and parts to fix our constant "out of stock" issue

We try to stock up on spare parts first before frames to keep everyone flying.

Thanks Tom,

High demand has got to be a good problem to have!!!

When the frames are available I'll check your site for the FPV Naza RTF versions.

Thanks,
Paul

Tom and Paul,

I have a Witespy 450 Quadrino Zoom and am thinking of getting the Naza from you. Since my Witespy is bone stock, should I have any problems swapping out a Naza FC? I am going to assume that the esc's, Keda motors, etc should work fine? I really like the idea of having altitude hold as I'm not a very experienced pilot and pretty much only do slow fly FPV and video.

I figure that once I get much better and could get all the additional parts to start another build with my Quadrino for future Accro flying or when GPS is added in coming months.

Please let me know if the Naza should be simple plug and play. I have basic soldering skills etc, some I'm not worried about that.

Thanks guys.
