you use express courier like EMS, DHL and fedex? should have ask you combine shipment with me

yup ... use those la ..
normally i pack mine to as close as possible to the kg so not much wastage of weight allowance .. hehehe

currently packing up another order .. still got about 500gm to fill

sorry, i already placed my order gonna take some risk since it is cheap, at least i have a tracking code with me now

if i want to make a connection between my battery and my gimbal controller board, which type of wire should i use? i mean the thickness should have a certain minimum thickness for high current discharge battery right?

any wire that handles 2 or 3a good enuff la ...
easiest to use the jst connectors ... light and secure connection

thank for the recommendation, for the connector i've decided to go for T style dean plug

it is really hard to get the ampere draw for those gimbal motors

gimbal motors draw so little ...
but nvm la ... deans works .. just add little more weight only .. LOL

weight not really a matter here, since i'm building a handheld gimbal only and the gimbal is already full carbon fiber, the only aluminium is the clamp, gonna abandoned my multirotor plan due to its cost and i think malaysia is not really a RC plane friendly place

to fly RC planes .. need big open space
if in klang valley then really not ez

multirotors are getting cheaper by the day
prolly coz no need big space like plane ... hahaha

quad is cheap, but hex or above starting to get more expensive, and lesser flight time, at first thought of building an octo that can carry a dslr to do some aerial photography but that is too far off from my budget

haha...plus crashing means money for the octo AND the dslr . later turn into white elephant only. crashing just costs too much that flying it is just not worth it.

well...just to share a pic of my gimbal that is still in progress


kinda hard to find workshop or factory that produce carbon fiber and custom cutting in malaysia, anyone know any carbon fiber maker in malaysia can recommend me, next time want get replacement part also easier

end up i have to source the carbon fiber from china which cost me around USD 150-160 for all the parts in the picture above, it is 3k carbon fiber, cutting is good so it is quite worth the price

if u have seen how amduser fly heli then u know he will not crash a multicopter unless he go do stupid things ... hahaha

google is your fren

lol...since when i fly a heli before

google also cant find any carbon fiber manufacturer in malaysia, or maybe i'm searching the wrong keyword

no CF manufacturer here ... here just added value post processing
just use fiber glass la .. almost as good

Hi guys, i wonder is there anyone is having fpv setup with live view goggles / monitor?

I've done a lot practice with my v911 for few months now. Thinking of getting a decent jet and mount camera and enjoy the fpv

It'll be great if someone has a fpv setup too, so we can sorta like "fly" together

Practice with V911 can prepare to fly something bigger?
Fellow V911 flyer here~

i just got a myself a poor man's fpv setup some weeks back. a walkera fpv400 on stock clearance. although i find it hard to rely on the LCD alone, always had to keep an eye on the heli.

yes and no actually. it's physics, bigger=heavier=slower response=harder crashes. like my story with the fpv400 above. i've flown a honey bee for 2 years. it's not the easiest thing to fly but i'm pretty confident with it these days. rarely crashes. i crash the fpv400 on the 3rd flight, simply because it's just a little bigger but much heavier than the bee. control characteristic changes quite a bit, even though it's just a coax(which is far easier than flying the bee), it does require getting used to. after some days flying the fpv400, i can't fly my honey bee confidently anymore. the honey bee feels fast and aggressive now .

what the v911 will help is in orientation, handling panic situation(to some extent) & create muscle memory with the stick(provided you're still on the mode).

Hmm, I see.. I've been flying my V911 for quite a while now and I feel like upgrading to a 450 size.
I have my eye on a KDS 450QS, seems reasonably priced.
Any suggestions on other 450's for beginners?
And would I need something like the KDS Flymentor to keep it stable?
Don't wanna crash my 450 in it's first few flights..

thats why goggles ... canot be distracted to go look at the aircraft unless emergency ... hahaha

doubt the 911 can lift much extra weight in stock form ..
