    ESC Programming card configuration

    My Turnigy Multistar ESC programming card allows me to select between LiXX and NiXX. While my Multirotor uses LiPos, I see that the low voltage cutoff setting for the ESC card can be set much lower if I select NiXX for the NiMH battery type. I am therefore tempted to select NiXX mode to take...

    3 Wire Braiding!

    I have noticed that the Carbon Fiber frames typically have the 3 wires between each motor and ESC run inside of each CF tube.......... BUT BRAIDED! Is there any advantage to that considering that there can be no emi/rfi inside these tubes?

    Logistics of flying MRs inside cities.

    My electric RC delta wing remained stored in my garage for many years because of the difficulty of finding appropriate flying sites within our city.... so I eventually sold it and gave up RC flying until recently. Then I bought what I believe is a much more practical machine that can be more...

    Confusion about 3 versions of NAZA

    Correct me if I am wrong but here is how I understand the recent addition of not one but two new NAZA controllers..... 1) The original NAZA M-GPS can be considered as V1 (version 1) which is easily firmware upgraded to full V2 functionality. 2) All V2 peripherals are completely compatible with...

    Strange WKM behaviour FW 5.20

    Althought 5.2 fw seems to work perfectly when there is no wind or a stable breeze, my MR surges very hard in gusty winds (less than 12 mph). When testing RTH..... the MR can regain altitude multiple times and will take a very long time to come down.... then when it lands itself with my RC...

    Affect of long term MR frame vibration!

    What is the verdict on the NAZA controller regarding long term MR airframe vibration? Does it eventually destroy the controller functionality? The reason I ask is that I have had 50 plus flights on my NAZA c/w F550 with upgraded motors and props and it is now going berzerk.... In spite of...
