Get the same set from Hobbyking instead. Its £180 so even with postage and import duty its cheaper than anywhere in the UK.

So that £180 is without import duty? how much import duty do you usually get on these ? Normal 2.5% on values between £135-£630

20% VAT plus whatever fees your carrier applies. Super slow Royal Mail was £8, while super fast Fedex was more like £15 when I last used it.

So £180 + £36 + £fees + £postage.

Cool still beats the other price

I think I'm going to possibly wait until end of month (if I can)

Will do does it matter if you get the official fatshark ones or the ones that show you the actual antenna wire

Depends if you have something else you'd rather spend the £20 on :p. I just got the cheapest ones that have 90 degree attachments.
 
Sooooo I just made a order my self......








4x 1000mah 4s nanotech 45-90c batterys
1x12v bec

Should be epic, she wont feel fat any more! :D

Nice :) let us know how you get on performance wise and how much different to flight times etc :)

Yeh I will do, looking around at the numbers people report flight times shouldn't be too dissimilar from the 1300mah 3s, the 3s is like 147w of power and the 4s 1000mah comes out at around 144w I think. should be good for at least 5 minutes.

My biggest gripe with HK is the fact they think everyone in Europe only wants to fly 5x3 props on miniquads. Seriously, the selection of props available locally to us form them is ridiculous for what they have in the range.
 
I doubt they sell the quantity to justify shipping any to other warehouses.

Just buy from the global warehouse. I chucked 20 pairs into my last order because they were so light they made zero difference to the postage.

Hobbyking have this 5.8GHz Circular Polarized Antenna with Cover for Transmitter and Receiver (SMA) (RHCP) but on back order, or is the RP RHCP the same?


Just about to order the fatshark kit, do these look ok for the antennas?

Seen some which are like £40! dont fancy spending that much, seeing as I have to buy a charger for this thing also

Yeh they are fine, what do you need a charger for? do you not own a charger for your dji? it should charge 2s battery's too if you are on about the goggles battery

Ah no problems, should have checked more in to the battery type :D was more interested in the other aspects


Imax B6 balance charger will charge it, great, ordering now :)
 
SMA and RP SMA are the 2 types of connector to attach the antenna to the vtx or receiver. RHCP stands for Right Hand Circular Polarization and is the direction the spiraled antenna wires go. They are unrelated.

And yes the kit comes with a 3.5mm banana to battery connector cable and plugs straight into a B6 fine (I have one).
