    Best Servo Gimbal for NAZA.

    FWIW. I recently tried a pair of Hitec HS-65HB servos in my x468 Medium Camera Mount and was not happy with the performance---a fair amount of "twitching" and not very smooth motion. I was also using a small point & shoot camera (Canon A620). I switched to a pair of Futaba S3102 servos, and...

    Would FPV Help or Hinder Me?

    Background...Three years ago I lost the vision in my right eye due to a freak accident. Prior to that, I did AP from an R/C airplane. With vision in only one eye, I have no depth perception which makes flying R/C planes difficult---basically I can't judge proximity to objects like trees...

    DJI 18amp & 30amp ESC's

    I'm using the DJI 30A ESCs with Avroto M2814-11S motors on my new NAZA-powered hexa, and they're working fine. I've only had a few flights with the new 'copter, but I've had no problem with them controlling the motors. I migrated four from my F450 and added two more. No wires to cut. Jack

    Help with dialing out yaw.

    Thanks Red. Naza is straight forward & flat. I'll try boosting the yaw gain. How'd you fix yours? Jack

    Help with dialing out yaw.

    I just completed my hexa using a Naza FC. It flys really nice and stable, but has a very slow counterclockwise yaw when in the air. It's most noticeable when hovering and I want to snap a picture. Every other aspect of the hover is stable---like it was sitting on a shelf, but there's a...

    Home-brew Hexa with Naza

    I cannibalized my Naza F450 kit to create a larger, more powerful hexa. In spite of having a bit of finishing touches left (like covering/hiding the electronics), I must say I’m really pleased with the first couple of brief test flights. Still to do is some fine tuning of the flight controls...

    New Forum ideas

    I see no benefit from introducing two new forums. In fact, it can be a negative when wanting to find info or posting something---too many choices. I especially don't see the need for an off-topic forum. The point of having this website is to discuss multirotor subjects, hence the name of the...

    Naza Hexa

    I get the video advantage of the x6, but I'm interested in any difference in the flight characteristics (i.e., control & stability) between the two. Thanks. Jack

    Naza Hexa

    Is there a preferred Naza hexa configuration +6 vs. x6 in terms of stability/control (never mind the location of the motors/props)? If so, why? Thanks. Jack
