Hi @Nidge have you one of these in your collection?
Do you know if they are any good, for that sort of money?
Cheers

Hi Stevie.
I have it’s younger brother, the RC Eye 350. I bought mine used with everything included (RC transmitter, 3axis gimbal with built in FPV TX, 4K camera, optional retracts) and all boxed for around £100.
Mine is identical to this.
The one on the website you’ve linked to looks very much incomplete and appears to be just a frame and a lot of wires. For the price they’re asking I’d be more inclined to build a Tarot Ironman 650, with Pixhawk. It’ll probably fly much better (newer tech) and would be cheaper, and parts are readily available.
RC Logger are, like a lot of RC companies, no longer involved in drones. The Eye 650 was not as successful as the smaller 350. It was trying to compete with the likes of DJI’s Spreading wing series and the Tarot builds of the day.

I’d second that.
After seeing so many great builds at the @bigmeet I have found the inspiration to rebuild my self built flight controller F450 drone and see if I can improve it. Day one!

Finished off converting the (Cheap as chips) FlySky receiver from PWM to PPM using an Arduino mini pro, this will give me more pinouts on the Blue pill STM32 as PPM only uses one wire for the 6 channels rather than 6
This is the code running on the Arduino
//Channel 1 = analog input 0
//Channel 2 = analog input 1
//Channel 3 = analog input 2
//Channel 4 = analog input 3
//Channel 5 = analog input 4
//Channel 6 = analog input 5
//PPM output = output 2
int delay_counter;
void setup(){
TIMSK0 &= ~_BV(TOIE0); //Disable timer0 as it will consume a lot of time.
pinMode(2, OUTPUT); //Pin 2 will be the PPM output.
while(PINC & B00000001); //While analog input 0 is low.
}
void loop(){
//Channel 1
while(!(PINC & B00000001)); //While analog input 0 is low.
PORTD |= B00000100; //Set output 2 high.
delayMicroseconds(100); //Delay for 100 us.
PORTD &= B11111011; //Set output 2 low.
//Channel 2
while(!(PINC & B00000010)); //While analog input 1 is low.
PORTD |= B00000100; //Set output 2 high.
delayMicroseconds(100); //Delay for 100 us.
PORTD &= B11111011; //Set output 2 low.
//Channel 3
while(!(PINC & B00000100)); //While analog input 2 is low.
PORTD |= B00000100; //Set output 2 high.
delayMicroseconds(100); //Delay for 100 us.
PORTD &= B11111011; //Set output 2 low.
//Channel 4
while(!(PINC & B00001000)); //While analog input 3 is low.
PORTD |= B00000100; //Set output 2 high.
delayMicroseconds(100); //Delay for 100 us.
PORTD &= B11111011; //Set output 2 low.
//Channel 5
while(!(PINC & B00010000)); //While analog input 4 is low.
PORTD |= B00000100; //Set output 2 high.
delayMicroseconds(100); //Delay for 100 us.
PORTD &= B11111011; //Set output 2 low.
//Channel 6
while(!(PINC & B00100000)); //While analog input 5 is low.
PORTD |= B00000100; //Set output 2 high.
delayMicroseconds(100); //Delay for 100 us.
PORTD &= B11111011; //Set output 2 low.
//Stop pulse
while(PINC & B00100000); //While analog input 5 is high.
PORTD |= B00000100; //Set output 2 high.
delayMicroseconds(100); //Delay for 100 us.
PORTD &= B11111011; //Set output 2 low.
}
Started building the Flight Controller and mounting the Blue Pill and the building the wiring harness
Mounting the Blue Pill on headers so it is removable

If I had arduino when I was a teenager, I’d have loved it, but I’m burnt out mentally now to try to learn it. I have one, but it’s just gathering dust. I can see the potential though.
I know when we were kids I had a ZX81 and an electronics kit with bulbs and thing’s 
imagine what we would know now if we had been brought up with today’s technology

Ah, the halcyon days of typing in dodgy listings from Sinclair User magazine.
My Spectrum 48k is in the loft somewhere and still working last time I checked.

Top stack of the flight controller finished and tested for shorts, waiting on Ali Express now for the barometer, gyro, compass and gps module

Finished building the flight controller, just need to extensively test it, waiting on a new gps but can use an older one for testing

The Frame and Motors turned up today and the rest of the bits are at the local sorting office Not bad from AliExpress and with all the COVID issues!
Ordered on the 12th all here on the 23rd🤞

Just slowly building a plane. Today, I’ve started a flight controller mount. I’ll print tonight and test fit tomorrow

Luscious Linda! 
Just hoping she doesn’t go down as much as luscious did!
