This was the second piece from Drone Magazine for May 2018, and was the cover picture. It was also a case of being able to reuse assets I’d created when reviewing for YouTube. Since I started writing as well, from this point onwards I’ve always taken stills of anything that could be reviewed as I […]

Taking the DShot, or how to use Betaflight DShot commands (from Drone April 2018)
In this piece for Drone, I took some of the knowledge that I had learned from doing a YouTube review on the Diatone GTR-90. A lovely design of micro quad, but one that didn’t allow room for a beeper, and so I looked into how to use the DShot commands in order to give me […]
“Lost & Found” – How not to lose your Quad (from Drone March 2018)
This was my first article for Drone Magazine, which I was very happy to be featured in as it’s a very high quality glossy magazine which is really nicely put together, and the fact that Painless360 already wrote regularly for them had put me off talking to them previously. But having done the Let’s Drone […]
Extreme Fliers Micro Drone 3.0+ Combo review (from DroneZone April/May 2018)

ImmersionRC 150 review (from DroneZone December/January 2018)
This Vortex 150 review was originally written for RC Flight Camera Action, before it went under. See my previous entry on the Taranis QX7 review for more details on this. As it had been sent to me by ImmersionRC to use in the magazine, this was a slight pain that this took so long after […]
Taranis QX7 review (from DroneZone October/November 2017)
Not exactly topical is it a Taranis QX7 review, and even at the time of publication, it had been out a while. This review and another on the ImmersionRC Vortex 150 had a bit of a troubled journey into publication. RC Flight Camera Action […]
New magazine content on it’s way
If you’ve noticed that the blog has been slightly lacking any update lately, well…. it has. Why is that? Well, I’ve been ramping up my YouTube videos and also doing a lot more writing work for magazines. I do find writing quite challenging, but rewarding. It’s sometimes very tricky to communicate quite technical ideas through […]
