I cant give you a part number, but these type of switches can be sourced from ebay Search for "SMD Micro Momentary push button"

Clearly there is the capability of electronic speed limiting, as Slup has shown, if there is light tail wind, then the tilt angle is reduced to maintain ground speed My assumption was based on the likelihood that there would be similar control at all speeds, until the point that the wind...

Hi Meta4 I'm not going to get involved with your argument with someone else, just keen to know which bits are wrong? I choose my words carefully and stressed that they were assumptions

Slup. great info thanks Is the headwind value calculated? It must be as the Mini doesn't have airspeed sensors I wonder how airspeed would be measured on a drone,? planes have pitot tubes, but they always fly in the direction of the tubes (side slip given!)

He's my 2p "I don't know!" but I would like to give my thoughts I'm going to start with a couple of assumptions, please correct me if these assumptions are wrong - The Mini can only measure Ground Speed (using GPS) - Not Airspeed as it does not have those sensors - Ground Speed is...

Hi, it was just a general question really, as it's something that I've not done. I sometimes fly while walking, so I could be some way from my original home point "Sufficient" for me means, wait until the Sat indicator is no longer red on the App, I no longer have the "take off with caution"...

That's a great video to watch, I did pick up on a couple of his comments on differences, he mentioned something about a light now also being a button?(1.36) and differences to the size of the leg pivots (8.59) Don't forget that the USB socket is different too, so the cut out in the body wont be...

Interesting Are there any negatives in setting the homepoint in flight? I always wait for sufficient sats before takeoff, which i assume sets the homepoint too

That's a pain, You have to be so careful with over charging any Lithium battery, The Mini 1 uses 2 Lithium ion batteries, these typically have a terminal charging voltage of 4.2V per cell, which is where the 8.4V comes from Going to 8.8V on Lithium ion batteries would be bad - unless the...

Sometimes it's hard to read the tone in messages, though it reads as though you are being aggressive with your capitalisation, that's like shouting among friends, uncool bro In the history of pretty much everything ever, the MK2 is normally an improvement. In the history of hobbies and modders...

I've seen many comments about the arms on the MM2 being more rigid, be it by a change in material or design. It makes perfect sense that the MM1 would have any weak points improved when they made the '2 That said, in terms of using the MM2 batteries, that would be a "no" when using the guts...

What's the opinion on this type of prop holder, I like the way that the hold the props at 45', but they just look as if they would warp the props?

I agree, but my tablet has an aluminum case and a nice flat lithium battery inside

Thank you, that's a brilliant link With all of that info, I still can't understand the logic in holders that sit directly over the antennas Have a look at this image, from the net, it seems pretty hard to get the antenna in a position that they would be perpendicular to the model, certainly not...

I don't get that, the rear motors are canted outwards slightly when the arms are folded - unless they've subtly modified the arms, this is why the motor speed error is almost always on the rear and on the side that folds underneath the other
