Hello! Been awol for the last week. Uni has been super busy but been playing with the drones when I can. Kept running into issues that required me to order things and wait. Taranis refused to connect to PC, browsed the internet for a while and spotted that some cables just refuse to work for...

@HighTechPauper ah great yeah the double fail safe makes loads of sense. I didn't realise they had their own inbuilt logic controller! Can think of a few cool things you can do with that. I'll keep you guys in the loop with how I get on and shout if I get stuck. Thanks again for all the advice...

Perfect cheers @HighTechPauper , I'll get the YouTube binge started tonight and start plugging it on tomorrow when it arrives. The local model shop gave me £100 for the Graupner which I was happy with, pays for a load of the taranis gear and I'll probably use the shop for rc bits and bobs so...

So... I've gone for the Taranis QX7s and a bunch of R-XSR receivers! Got one receiver for each drone plus a spare for a potential future build ;). All arriving Friday where operation "make drones fly" begins. I've found a local rc shop that stock Graupner and seem interested in buying it (they...

Cheers guys! So I think my plan is to sell the graupner mx-20 with the gr-24 receiver and use the money to buy a taranis transmitter and appropriate receivers. I haven't really looked into the telemetry yet, not sure of the benefits but I'd rather future proof it then have to upgrade at a later...

@VirtueViolater can definitely see that happening once I've got these ones going :D. Someone might be able to help me with this, so I found out why I can't connect my transmitter (graupner mx-20) to my transmitter on the 6 wing racer, (orange rx receiver). The graupner doesn't support dms2...

**UPDATE* Thanks for the support @HighTechPauper, I've spent the last 3 days rotting in front of the computer trying to figure out what I'm supposed to be doing! My time has been split 65% trying to get things to connect to the computer (I guess driver issues are something everyone in the drone...

Took longer than expected to organise the images, have put them into an imgur album if you guys have a chance to browse through. There is also a 6 arm version of the tarot along with a 4 arm version of the racing drone but both appear to only have motors and speed controllers attatched. I've put...

Cheers Wayne, uploading a photo dump of the majority of kit we ended up with now. Is there a preferred photo sharing site or put them all on here? I think you're spot on Ren, having a quick google it definitely appears to be those two! Cheers for the link, looks like i'll start with the flamewheel

A friend of a friend sadly passed away leaving a collection of what I believe to be some racing drones, some general purpose (if that's a category) larger drones with all the spares and transmitters. My friend knows I love to tinker and offered them to me as he didn't have time to figure them...
