The term fly-away does not seem to have a very clear definition anywhere. So think of it as a complete loss of RC control to the extent that the MR flys away until the battery power is lost and it crashes (usually beyond sight). Others seem to suggest that partial RC control is regained at times...

A valid statement for the most part.... A RTF or ARF is developed for a specific all up weight which includes the payload weight. And changes to the payload weight also affect the z parameter setting for C of G on the vertical plane. If not re-adjusted your FC will not be able to adequately...

IMHO - FPV takes a long time to master.......so don't rely on FPV to get around the mirror image flying issue. And FPV video can kick out at any time. From the days of flying RC aircraft towards myself 30 feet off the ground while the plane was inverted.... right is left and up is down...... a...

Going with RTF or ARF is just fine for starting out..... but problems crop up immediately when DIY and hobbyists get over confident and begin modifying their MRs without the a basic understanding of the relationship between all up weight, motor speed versus torque etc. and ofcourse the affect of...

And Park Flyer radios have a much more limited radio range as well.

Sun hitting the FC or IMU was only an issue with NAZA from what I recall. FWIW - I have been using fw 5.20 for a long time without issues but have been reluctant to move up to the newer firmware. Make sure your IMU is not being bumped from the side by hardware or wires etc. If your so called...

FliteLab et al... There are still many retail Hobby Shops across North America (far too many to list here) that use EmpireRC as their primary hobby product supplier for both domestic and foreign products and a high percentage sell some or most of the DJI products now.

Thanks JazzBoy, In summary the injuction lists DJI-NA Canadian sellers/distributors as: Canada Drones Hobby Hobby Infinite Jib (do not show DJI products on their web site) Rope Access Maintenance!!! Exempt, i.e., receiving DJI products from other sources are: RCHeliCanada - Manitoba...

This 3 way video demo shows differences between video camera shutter types etc. helping to explain, somewhat.... how jello can occur...

JazzBoy..... please clarify as to which two Canadian dealers you are talking about. If they are using DiJang North America as their supplier they would be affected regardless. Otherwise..... IMHO - as stated previously, US courts, both state and federal cannot legally control other activities...

The use of feet for altitude corresponds best with the nautical mile which became the standard for ship travel and chart navigation.... Keep in mind that the length of a nautical mile changes with altitude so that the charts remain relevant. And we are stuck with this because of history. And...

Despite the business name, i.e., "DiJiang North America", which for some might imply all three NA countries are under their umbrella, a US court ruling has no jurisdiction outside of USA territory. But it has been common practice for many generations for a US business to take on the role of...

TFR8SB is the closest possible match to the Futaba R6208SB that comes with the complete Futaba RC package., i.e., has FASST as well as s.bus for a single connection between the Rx and the DJI FC. Mine works perfectly for both the NAZA and the WooKong M.

The HPR - High Power Rocketry people have been doing GPS tracking for several years now and with much success. All the options here are simple and cost effective as there is no need to use a cellular system which is not an option in some rural areas. http://www.bigredbee.com/ Never mind the...

Have fun......Hope you can get some great shots of Grand Targhee and possibly the Tetons or Jackson Hole someday..... Its a spectacular area for AV.

I've followed your example for the new pancake style motors such as Hengli and Turnigy that use a widely available 686ZZ bearing. Pancake style motors have winding exposed for easy damage when changing bearings as I can attest..... destroyed my first motor in a matter of seconds. I sourced the...

Great subject material leads to a very exceptional AV......The music suggests the castle is in Scotland yet your location is identified as Czech Republic.

I've been wanting to buy one for a long time already....... Where do I get one?

Something does not look right with your configuration for throttle etc. Please review Jon Desjardins Futaba T8FG configuration videos starting here...... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ck3tu-4UVgg I think it would provide some valuable insight. Either way please keep us posted with the results.

While it is conceivable that proper system configuration and testing on the bench should prove, beyond all possible doubt, that an RC com link failure will cause the FC to bring your MR back home for a safe landing, how else can you be 100% certain it works in real flying conditions unless you...
