very sluggish or mushy MR control response........ if set too high then the control response tends to over-correct leading eventually to slow and/or fast Multirotor oscillations and ultimately towards a crash.

There are certain critical tasks that cannot accommodate distractions without serious negative consequences such as: 1) Getting called away in the middle of a vehicle oil change!!!!! 2) Configuring or flying your MR 3) answering the phone in the middle of brain and/or heart surgery etc...

Yes.... select airplane mode for Futaba T8FG. BTW - If your RC radio is somehow sending an RTH signal to your WKM controller, it will by default, prevent the Mutlitrotor motors from starting.............................. To help eliminate the risk of a RC radio configuration interfering with WKM...

Have you tried using eCalc for Multirotors? There are so many factors to take into account including the AUW......

Good advice above...... But in my case I have a S800 clone, i.e., RCT800 with 420 kv motors and 15 x 5 cf props running on parallel 6S - 5000 mah Nanotech batteries. How much airtime will I get if I carry the Red Epic shown on the dolly next to my Hexacopter....... ha. ;-) ...

Originally I wondered why the DJI S800 motor arms were tilted upward at the end of each motor arm. A closer look at several other newer Hex and Octoframe designs shows they are now doing the same. Some are 3 degrees and some are up to 10 degrees dihedral. 10 degrees seems a bit excessive and...

First free demo aerial video work for an upstart nearby video producer..... much room for improvement but making some progress......500 yard fairways are a bit of a challenge..... must be FPV flights. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SLSovTMUp34

Answer: No..... it's just an additional feature that comes in handy should you ever be in a situation where you lose RC radio communication or are flying line of sight at a great distance and can't figure out which control to use to bring it back home..... just switch over to IOC Home mode, pull...

Droider, Thanks for the head's up............ in any case I discovered my IPhone4 does not have Bluetooth 4 and therefore will not communicate with the new Bluetooth LED....... so I will remain with FW 5:20 for a while yet.........

Anyone have suggestions on how one should hone their FPV flying skills...... I tried to do a flyover on a 500 yard Hole at a local golf course and lost orientation by switching my eyes back and forth between visual and FPV with a screen. Fortunately there was no golfers around. Was luck to get...

I think I will go look for some rail track to fly along........ Seems to me that it is a good way to learn FPV flying....... I say this after trying to video some golf holes nearby....... The first hole was 500 yards long..... Almost lost my Hex....... line of sight is useless for controlling a...

I am really enjoying my GoPro3 Black, record at 2.7k (well beyond 1920 x 1080) @ 30 fps for short FPV flights and get razor sharp images..... But for some reason when I upload to YouTube and Vimeo the resulting uploaded videos are not nearly as sharp. In any case for what it is worth here is a...

When you say milliohms do you mean 0.0072 ohms from the above example?

Try the DJI F550 ARF....... which I have successfully flown c/w Futaba RC receiver in addition to the DJI Innovations LK800 Ground Control Station. But keep in mind that you might also need the WooKong M controller c/w GPS sensor unless DJI has enabled their NAZA V2 controller to allow for the...

Thanks ProPilot..... You also made me aware that there is no apparent loss of resolution as a consequence of post stabilization when done on 2.7k recording...... looks like I can put off the purchase of a Panasonic GH3 or BlackMagic Pocket camera for a bit longer now and remain content with the...

Because of the results I saw where someone uploaded a MR aerial video configured for HD 2.7k, i.e., (2716 x 1524) @ 30 fps, I was so impressed I decided to try the same but am restricted to a YouTube account for 1920 x 1080. In any case, where there is no jello it seems that 30 fps may be...

World class video here..................Great work Kloner....

Yagi antennas come in various dB gain configurations and are highly directional so as to increase reception range if you know where to aim it. And there are other types of directional antenna arrays as well...... Just talk to a HAM radio operator.

For the 900Mhz Datalink the advertised range is around 10 kilometers LOS. But if you add a higher gain antenna at the ground location and keep it high and/or on high ground, you should be able to get 15 km or more. Technically that may be illegal to increase gain by means of a higher dB antenna...

If your GoPro3 is the Black edition, just select 2.7K @ 30 fps assuming your camera and gimbal are 100% vibration free. You will be way ahead of the Sony Nex5N for sharp HD videos. Just enter password "chopper" you will be amazed........ http://vimeo.com/nisushd/chopper
