@ Trnquill
Thank you for your positive and helpful response. Yes I understand where you are coming from with regards 'population size' on AutoQuad forum. My long post was to give what I thought was sufficient background information, but I concede that shorter, to-the-point posts might be better be better. I did start a new post with what I thought was an appropriate title, and I guessed that every AutoQuad user would have experience of one ore more frames with AQ6 and thus there might be a good selection of views or consensus on frames, good and bad.
@ JussieH
Thank you for you guidance and advice. Yes I wondered if the Web Contact form might be broken (I have been trying over a two week period - it is not as if I have been impatiently firing off enquiries daily - I did leave plenty of time between contact attempts). OK I will order FCP-HL from Flyduino. A smaller craft would be of interest.

Well thank you for your kind and welcoming response. You appear to be rather hostile! I did not threaten anyone that I would sell them if you (are you the collective we?) don't help me, but you have to admit that many are not going to get very far with AQ6 if they cannot get help from those more experienced on this forum, and if for some strange reason you (collectively) decide that you don't want to help me, than as a novice at this aspect of R/C flying then I would probably be better off eventually selling that simply failing and crashing. I bought before posting because I had read up a lot on a number of options over the past 5 or 6 month and from what I researched AQ6 provided the possibility of a truly stable and smooth multi-rotor flying. It seemed a little futile to post "hey guys I am thinking of buying AQ6 - is that a good idea?" because the response would be that AQ6 is a great solution, but takes work and effort to configure, but once set up it flies great" - and I already understood that - I have read lots of posts, here and on RCGroups. At first I discounted AQ6 - but I read through the Wiki and I thought "you know what I think I can do that... especially with some help from the forum, and who knows one day I may know enough to help someone else". As to why I bought 3 x AQ6 - not that it is really any of your business - but I only intended to buy one, but was offered a 'job lot' of 3 - 2 brand new and 1 used, by an AP who was hoping they would become the 'standard' controller in his firm, but in the partner vote another controller was selected. As I knew I wanted 2 machines, a Quad and a Hex it seemed sensible for me to 'standardise on a single controller type, so I went for it. Nice one yourself!
