    A2 FC Firmware 2.3 - Here We ALL go Again

    The DJI A2 is specifically mentioned in my TC SFOC application here in Canada....... not sure if they are aware of this development in Great Britain. For reasons of public safety I just recently cancelled out on a contract to do aerial videos for a local 18 hole golf course as a result of these...

    Hobbyking Lipo's.

    FC.... if you are trying to minimize battery weight relative to total capacity I seem to recall that the top of the line Thunder Power LiPos offer better amp output relative to total battery weight than most other brands. In the past 2 years or so I have never had any issues yet with any of my...

    Vertical speed increase in Manual Mode

    I am not yet familiar with throttle curve adjustment within Futaba Transmitters. But in the meantime do globally adjust the throttle curve so all three FC modes use i, e.g., exponential such that response in the middle of the throttle range is very soft or...... Do a activate a specific throttle...

    Vertical speed increase in Manual Mode

    I know someone has posted a solution to this common issue with respect to the DJI Flight computers but I can't seem to locate it now. I need to adjust my Cinestar 8 system so that I can transition between GPS, Attitude and Manual without the powerful vertical speed surge when I switch over to...

    S1000 + 5D3 or GH4 - Mature enough yet?

    FWIW I am sure the S1000 is a good choice but I already purchased the Cinestar 8... which is now equipped with a DJI A2 and I am using the Futaba T8FG Super Radio system. All is well so far after approximately 16 test flights.... Most test flights are to resolve BGC control issues and I am...

    Airport Radar Interference?

    We had a microwave course at University back in the 70's including lab work. Whereas spurious emissions and/or harmonics can be minimized, the regulators recognize that they cannot be entirely eliminated such that regulations stipulate a legal threshold. The best way to examine for such...

    Mysterious Moving Gain Range

    When you say it tipped over during the landing process..... are you landing level first then finding that some of the motors speed up after landing or are you saying that it is tipping immediately as it contacts the ground?

    Another near miss between helicopter and "drone"

    Birds are a natural risk that pilots have learned to risk manage to some extent but adding hard objects to the mix only makes it worse and more worrisome for the pilots and passengers. 90% of the fun and money to be made with MR's is probably within 150 feet of the ground so why fly higher? It...

    8bit vs 32bit Alexmos

    I had too many issues with extending the 8 bit to allow for the 3rd, i.e., Yaw access board especially with the board layout and wiring..... made for a very messy job so I moved on to the 32bit. The 32 bit allows for the 2nd IMU which, I believe, the 8 bit does not. It also has a significant...

    Managing the Yaw 4 forward flight

    So strategically speaking, with respect to a golf course fairway flight from tee box to green, allow MR with 3axis BGC-camera to maintain straight forward heading, then have camera man take over yaw and pitch control once close to the green.... With now need for yaw follow mode!

    8bit vs 32bit Alexmos

    Yes the horizon will wander from time to time as per the conditions as stated in GUI version 2.41 documentation. I believe this is a laws-of-physics boundary limitation because the IMUs do not contain magnetometer(s) as does the MR FCs for more precise horizon detection. But with the Basecam 32...

    Noob with unresponsive ESC's/motors using WKM

    In addition to Blotto's comments, I like to configure each ESC for the Joystick throttle range by bypassing the FC and doing it thru the RC receiver. I discovered the need to do this when ground testing an MR equipped with Turnigy Plush ESCs..... the motor speed would randomly shift up and...

    8bit vs 32bit Alexmos

    So is the 2nd IMU mounted above or below the Yaw motor? And is the software configured to allow the BGC to see the FC pitch and yaw outputs? Both are supposed to help with BGC precision etc. What is your camera and what BGC motors are you using?

    A2 FC Firmware 2.3 - Here We ALL go Again

    From what I have read here on MRF it appears most of the issues with latest A2 firmware are related in some way to the GPS, e.g., suddenly lost or erratic GPS signals etc. With POI and many other functions including RTH depending upon GPS, loss of GPS is an issue. Also the GPS/digital compass...
