Death of the FPV Mini Quad
19Oh dear, I seemed to have gone and killed her. Notice that fact that despite repeatedly crashing for reasons I couldn't work out, I kept flying anyway... just to make things worse.
I really am my own worst enemy sometimes.
I don't know what form the new mini quad will take, I wasn't a huge fan of the HK frame, but I've got the motors/escs to fit now, so it could just be a repeat of what has come before.
For those interested in the exact specifics, the rx I'm using is here http://www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/store/uh_viewitem.asp?idproduct=24788&aff=663923
The quad is a modified version of the HobbyKing micro Quad that you can get here http://www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/store/uh_viewitem.asp?idproduct=27899&aff=663923
I'm using a Boscam RC305 Video reciever.. sadly this means having an external VRX, but them's the breaks for using a micro VTX. These seem to have disappeared from HobbyKings and Foxtechs websites.. perhaps discontinued ? Instead the 805 is compatible

The camera which provides my live out, and 720p recording the the 808 #16 camera with the 'D' lens, get it from this ebayer

The micro VTX - I bought from a online Chinese store that seems to have disappeared, but you can get the same module from foxtech

Please be aware that these little VTX's and VRX's don't necessarily work on the same frequencies, there are 3 'bands' of 5.8 which are used, so check the frequencies of the VTX against the VRX so you get something that worked (I managed to buy a VTX in the wrong band the first time)
