Well it gave me a bit of time to tear it down and finishing touches to the main Rams and make the mount bracket, and get it balanced well,

Hopefully have new controller by mid week, so time will tell

Well the new 32 bit controller turned up today, got the Gui downloaded and it connected up great, :D

only thing with it is it comes in pieces :( so out with the soldering iron again, lol I love soldering :o

but on a positive note it comes with cases for both the controller and PMU unit, but I did have to fettle the bottom cover to be able to fit side pins by using the supplied straight headers,

Board soldered.

But not in the right mood to fiddle and set it up at the moment.

Ditto Kev,
Tools down, for me too.
Always end up making a mistake, when you're not in the right frame of mind :)

Well I had 2 hours playing with the controller from Banggood and the outcome is board is no good, pitch channel not working, and hence board wont initialise,

but on a brighter note, my second GLB Mini Alexmos board turned up today, connected to the pc after a bit of finding which GUI to use, and it looks like its gonna be better as setting for high PWM rate is already set in the board,

guess its gonna be fiddle time later as cant fly as its peeing down, thanks mother nature!
