    These are very complex and finicky machines requiring a lot of technical savvy especially as you move up to the larger systems. Starting small and cheap allows you to learn and practice with minimal downside..... fixing a Blade MQX costs only pennies...... fixing a system c/w costly camera can...

    Wookong M wobble on yaw in one direction!

    Did you try again with the Yaw gain turned down a bit? Was there a camera payload c/w 2 or 3 axis gimbal control?

    Motors not starting

    Actually you don't need to calibrate the GPS but there is a digital compass inside the same housing which needs to be calibrated..... First determine the angle of declination from true north for your flying site...... The rest is in the DJI documentation......

    brushlessgimbals.com Cinestar conversion - any good?

    Seems the most obvious distinction between the Cinestar 8 and Cinestar HL is that the HL comes c/w with a FreeFly Systems power distribution board c/w esc programmer that connects to a single point on the distribution board. But I am curious how that can provide a more accurate and robust...

    Building my own Multicopter

    Bruno..... if you dig through the following all the way to their online pricing you will see that they charge quite a bit more for CNC machining of carbon fiber plate. This is because CF plate is considered one of the most difficult of all materials to work with.... dulling and burning out most...

    WKM gain settings on cinestar 8

    BTW..... Do you have any photos of your build? I also have a Cinestar 8 and am wondering how and where you are locating your IMU which is apparently prone to MR frame vibration and baro prone to prop wash such that DJI since released an anti-vibration kit so as to relocate the IMU away from both...

    WKM on Cinestar Octocopter

    Has anyone on this forum been able to successfully install the WKM and fly it on the Cinestar Octocopter? Seems the WKM IMU needs to be mounted on the DJI anti-vibration platform to work properly but how would one achieve this on the Cinestar 8? Here is some...

    When to retire LiPos!

    Excellent. My Hyperion reads 15 milliohms for all 6 cells.... used to be around 12 milliohms per cell..... Turnigy Nanotech..... roughly 50 recharges so far.

    When to retire LiPos!

    I am hoping there is a simpler way to determine when to retire the LiPos on my MR. Is there a direct correlation between battery line loss and battery internal resistance? If so I am hoping to gauge battery retirement by means of the later. The DJI method for retiring batteries requires multiple...

    Destined never to have fail safe

    I personally would never fly my MR unless I am certain that the RC signal loss failsafe feature is working 100%. If the matching Futaba receiver is too expensive you might want to try the FrSky FAAST s.bus receivers which have must better pricing. I use the TFR8SB...

    Just a thought on the future of Flight Controllers??

    PID loop control has been common to industry for many years. Foxboro developed a self-tuning PID controller many years ago. It was advertised to have AI - artificial intelligence not long after the term first began to appear. The fundamental principle is that a PID loop controller is optimized...
