My AD-6 currently has no NavCntrl (lost FC communication - see exisiting threads seeking advice). But everything else is operating OK. A new GoPro camera arrived yesterday and I want to try it out - is it safe enought to try a flight limited to a vertical hover of about 2-3 mtrs then land?

Has anyone tried fixing batteries low (close to landing gear level) to drop the centre of gravity down? I think that would possibly aid in craft stability.I would love to know if anyone has tried that and has any result to tell. If not I'll try it mself.

Droider - your footage at the Okavango Delta was perfect. Great stuff. What is the setup that produced such smooth video can I ask?

I ordered a Du-Bro Tru Spin so will get my props balanced shortly. However I have a question. I Purchased a set of APC 12x3.8 props for my Droidworx Hexacopter. They come with a pair of different sized bore plug to fit depending on the size of the motor shaft. On my Hexa I have HK3638 motors...

I want ot add a word of thanks to Geoff for his very helpful support since I purchased this Hexacopter. Especially bearing in mind I had absolutely no experience with RC anything prior to that! I have no doubt in the build quality at all, and agree that after a few less than soft landings where...

Dave thanks. I have physically checked all the connecting cables and everything seems OK, but have not checked for cable continuity. I don't have the tools to do that myself - but I guess that's the only next step to try.

Pano-Dirk thanks, yes the message I get is no FC communication. I did actually check the connections between the FC and NC boards and indeed one on the cables was loose. Thinking 'ah-ha' I pressed it home firmly and tried again, but get the same error message. In MKTools same error. My Jeti...

Makes a difference that makes an obvious difference balancing the props. I will check mine asap. Ordered a Du-Bro prop balancer. Would have thought however that sticking bits of tape on the prop blade would reduce efficiency a little and could introduce some unwanted extra turbulance. The...

Error 3 Does anyone know what that means and how to resolve it?

Brilliant - thanks.

Where can I get hold of one of those (Du-Pro tru spin prop balancer)?

I have been loking for a supplier of silicon gel pads - do you know where I can get some?

This was all interesting reading. I am new to this - have a Droidworx AD6-HL to lift a uitable DSLR to aerial photography. I didn't know about balancing props and motors. Is there a thread anyone knows of that explains more about how to balance props and motors?

Yes - I've been asking the same question. Come on - somebody knows. Where? Geoff at Quadcopters.co.uk hasn't got any when I asked him.

Need help from an experienced Hexacopter/Octocopter flyer using Mikrokopter software. Today I lost NaviCntrl mid fllight (after two ealier successful flights). Started out with a good 8 sat lock and 3D GPS lock. After a few moments I lost NaviCntrl. There is a red light showing on the...
