Yes I did. Radio programming error. Retract and Home lock on the same Radio Channel / Switch! Novice mistake on my part.

I was about to post about similar issues then I saw this post! On GPS mode (blinking purple) with retract up. And everything's fine BUT if i put retract down, it will start to blink green. Up and purple comes up again. Am I missing something here?

Excellent info Peter. This will take some time for me to absorb! :p Cheers mate.

Hmm good point Chris. Thanks. Maybe I should just use the bad on for other zero risk duties like powering my monitors. ;)

Thanks Chris. I think im better off using using the 2 Lipos in single configuration now instead of in pairs. Not worth taking the risk. :)

I meant the pair always end up within 5-10% of each other after each flight. 32% and 37%, 41% and 51% etc. My other pairs are even better. Usually less than 5%.

I have had 10 flights with my s800 running 2x6000 Turnigy Nanotech running reasonable flight time of 10-15 mins every time. Today after my 10th flight I noticed 1 Lipo has 49% left but the other 11%!. Now that is worrying. I am sure that shouldnt be the case? I wonder what could have happened...

I connected my zenmuse via sbus and everything works fine except I couldn't figure out a way to control the reset orientation (forward or face down) as this channel is controlled by X2 - same channel as sbus. For this reason, Im rewiring the Zenmuse/Rx connection manually today.

iOSD gives additional 3 Can-bus slots.

Do you use iOSD? Coz the bi-port cable for iOSD-Dji5.8Tx send both video feed and power. Im only asking coz the it seems to work for me (ie the Tx is getting the power needed and video feed and the downlink works correctly) but this configuration (suggested by the manual) is frying my PMUs!

CASE CLOSED AND PROBLEM SOLVED Finally! wasted 3 days isolating the problem and it is now traced to faulty iOSD mark 2 frying 4 different PMUs!

Any reason for separate battery and not connecting via the bi-port cable?

Wow.. that is very similar to what im experiencing ... This is my thread http://www.multirotorforums.com/showthread.php?10543-Help!-No-power-on-my-S800 Still trying to solve the problem. It is frustrating

;) on a fresh 80% full lipo (turnigy 6000mah nano tech)

Hey Chris, really appreciate your input and help. The first PMU looks busted as the voltage is only 0.5 to X1 The second Wookong unit (even though its no longer booting up - ie no lights on LED and MC outputs the correct voltage ie 5v) Now this is where it gets really weird. I have with me a...
