I hear you about the no LCD screen. My daughter has a cheaper gopro with no screen and its truly a pain. As timing would have it I just got my Sony a6300 this week. Early impressions - I'm blown away with image and functionality. Image is sharper than the a7sii . I still need to find a usable...

Third vote for Taranis. Not sure about flight Sims but a google search should yield an answer. There is a very large online community for this radio. (Another good reason to own) ;)

Pictures of the build will be helpful too.

Get money back, buy a different brand with solid reviews. Never buy from that vendor again. This is a simple case of crappy construction followed by crappy quality control.

You'd be surprised lol And it takes an understanding of how all the parts work together too!

Like Hoki said, check that your signals are getting through using mission planner. Check your endpoints on the radio, and the trims are zeroed etc. Then do the radio calibration in mission planner.

You seem to have an aptitude for engineering too! ;) Shame about the frame!

Bump!

PS nice CLEAN build Hoki! Well done.

:):)

Just buy a Pix/Fixhawk. Virtually identical in functionality and reliability. I'll leave it at that

What dazz said ;) Redundancy = 2nd backup machine

It's a pretty specialized field. I've looked into high rise crane inspection as I have friend in the industry. Theres a LOT more to it than taking pictures. There's specific engineering knowledge required, procedures, documentation protocols, certification etc etc. Not an easy (or cheap) nut to...

I use Taranis for this due to its ability to house two separate transmitters in one radio. You can slap a transmitter module in the back slot and assign it to channels 9-16 with the main TX using 1-8. I then have two separate Receivers, one for the copter and one on the gimbal. Bind one to...

Yup that's a new one for me as well! But when altitude is part of the issue I'd strongly suspect barometer issues. Most flight controllers are relying on info from the baro to maintain height in auto modes. Lose the NAZA and get a Pixhawk clone (FixHawk is my go to) at least then you'd have...

"Return To Home" or "Return To Launch" (both the same thing). You can hit a switch and it will come back to where it took off and land automatically. Also if it loses radio connection it will go into "failsafe mode" and do the same thing if programmed that way in settings. But only with some...

Did you do the calibration on the flight controller? Especially after you've moved it? I use a little bubble level sitting right on top of the FC to make sure my copter is sitting level on the bench (prop up corners if not.) And then look at the mission planner screen to make sure the FC is in...

Congratulations Hoki! You kept cool, formed a plan, and brought her home for a safe landing. That is the definition of skilled piloting! And it has happened to all of us indeed. I always joke about having a bucket handy on the flying field lol!
