You would be advised to get the 900kv motors, especially if you are intending to put fpv gear on the quad in the future. The standard Disco is very resilient and I would highly recommend the frame. I have an x configuration 8 motor octo mr, a hex 6 motor mr, but the disco quad is small, compact...

It was predominantly down to payload and reliability. The Torxpowers are around £30 each, hence the cost of replacing eight motors and ESCs was a big decision. I use a 4s 5000mah battery which gives a safe 7 minutes (fully loaded).. I have a number of multi rotors and this beastie is...

The v8 conversion to Naza was not the easiest for me (in fact I went Wookong). The xa ESCs were not compatible with my WKM, hence I needed to replace the ESCs and I replaced the motors too. The problem with ESCs over 10amps is that they won't fit in the arm. For this reason, I had to build a...

This morning I noticed on the Quadcopters UK website that DJI have just reduced a load of prices on their products. I was planning on purchasing a Naza V2 with GPS anyway, but now see the price has dropped to £191 from £312. Great result and if you are planning buying some DJI (selected)...

Cbuk, Sorry to hear about the 'issues' with your x4. I have a similar setup (not Droid) with a Wookong controller. Personally I find it to be a fantastic combination - I now fly an X8 configuration. Despite the criticism, I adore my wkm! I'm not at all surprised that a crash has affected your...

I personally also use zip ties too on my 550. You could also consider securing the ESCs with heat shrink tube. One thing to consider is that cooling on the ESCs is probably improved using zip ties, as the heat shrink is another layer of insulation. The principle of the heat shrink is that you...

TB1, I would be tempted to view the IR LED through your digital camera. The pulsing LED should be visible through the camera viewfinder/screen. Setting end positions is so much easier..... My 5r needed a bit of juggling. Are you keeping the LED to the IR sensor? Rich

http://www.gentles.ltd.uk/gentled/shutterplus.htm are expensive for what is an IR Led and a servo cable. However it works well on my Nex 5r. I have personally changed end positions which prevents me from activating video in error (bottom of the stick) and instead using shutter for stills only...

X650 Aeroxcraft GTR with hoverfly and Sony Nex5r This is an image of my X650 v8. It's got the WKM brain, Torxpower motors etc. The Aeroxcraft GTR Nex mount is stabilised with a Hoverfly board. Ive had to do a few mods, like doubling up the undercarriage and fitting another floor for escs...

Just a thought Check one thing! If your Naza assistant is showing hexa rotor I, you will get these symptoms. Switch to hexa rotor v and it should be fine..... mine was behaving the same - it's now perfect rich

Dear All, I am flying DJI 550 hexacopter s and a seriously modified WKM Xaircraft X650 v8. The aerial footage on both has been outstanding. I now want to fly for money. The aim is to do some images of properties etc.. I don't have a BNUCS or BMFA B Certificate. I do have a EASA Commercial...

Looking for a little advice. I am aware that a lot of clubs in the UK have banned mobile telephones in the 'pits' areas of flying fields. This is based on potential interference from mobile telephones affecting radio control. A google search reveals that Frsky 2.4 is affected in rare...

I am really pleased to hear that XAircraft are releasing a new range of products. It's all a massive step in the right direction and I wish them the very best. My 450 was one of the nicest quads I have flown....

I take it that you are fully sorted? Any problems drop me a line. Rich

Make sure that you are in Atti mode. Plug the 450 into the computer, checking that the AHRS and FC are aligned the correct way and check that sticks cause the correct pitch, roll and yaw. I would suggest that you check motor rotation/props are on the correct way and are spinning in the correct...
