Bonafide - did your dealer let you know how he determined that? Was it your trials he saw or was there something specific he did to test for that gyro. None the less - awesome and let us know how your replacement performs. Helloman - I am guessing you did not read this thread.

Kilby - I was having troubles a whole back doing the NAZA dance. Figured out that my cell phone in my pocket and watch on my wrist had a drastic effect on my calibration. When I do it now, with NAZA or WKM - I do it in the middle of nowhere half naked. Well not really half naked but you get the...

Olof - the craft was noticeably different upon descent then at lower altitude. Was not dropping straight down, in fact always use a glide path upon decent. My observation was - at altitude it certainly felt different then at lower altitude and it just so happen that where i really noticed it was...

Mombasa at 10kASL I would hover at 50% throttle. I found the issue being when descending, the bird would act like not enough lift just under 1/2 throttle pretty unstable - as if the gains were way too low. - I dont want to be the first to try it - but I wonder if this is not an argument to look...

Welcome jedi! prepare to be addicted. tons of fun. i can tell you that i have a few copters and i have fun with all of them. the small husban "toy" like copter, i have, is lots of fun and a great tool for you to learn orientation. so keep at it.

Mombasa - I happen to live just below 7000ASL. I fly around a fully loaded stock S800 Z15n 2x6s 5500 lipos. I can testify that I have it flying pretty good at that altitude. However, last weekend I went to 10kASL and can also testify that some changes are needed. It flew, but I felt it had...

Interested - will be doing the same thing with an AD8 converted to coax. I have landed on T-Motor and 6s. Frame, WKM ordered.

he had previously mentioned no damage to props.

John you could go ahead and solder the ESC and motors.

Thank you for the info Mombasa. I have been eyeballing that set screw - I am hesitant though because sometimes it is okay and eventually it levels out after flying (takes 4 or 5 minutes though and that is all kinds of annoying when you only fly for 8-9 minutes) I am crossing my fingers for...

WOW!!!! Gorgeous!!!! For what its worth Mr Flash - I fly at 6500 7k ASL all the time with my S800/Z15n. I have it pretty dialed in. However - went to an altitude of about 9000asl yesterday and did some filming. Holy cow - had a few moments of butt pucker myself. Seemed to work it out half decent...

Im with kloner at 6:54 you can hear a weird noise then she flips. I believe that weird noise being the ESC - motor connection. I have heard that before and flipped a similar rig. Have video somewhere, you can clearly hear the noise in my video and it sounds same as noise at 6:54. I will see if I...

welcome 671 - where are you in NM? Seems you have already figured out that this hobby gets addictive quite quickly :)

I believe that Guru Kloner is referring to DMF. NEX5 has AF MF and DMF - direct manual focus - best results seem to be with MF. They way i kind of understand the DMF is sim to AF it will lock on then you can overide if you choose. Not positive about that. Am positive MF = best results

pretty new to the ZEN, got about 20 flights or so...but I have not seen this, nor read about it anywhere. Best of luck. Id be curious as to what you figure out.

I dont have that exact setup but with the NEX5 -16mm and Zen - it sure prefers all manual settings. Manual focus then set SHutter speed somewhere between 1/15 - 1/80 then adjust ISO and Aperture accordingly. Hope that helps and welcome tot he forum.

I seem to be having this problem with 5.16 - the problem...Just below 50% throttle upon decent - the motors are pulsing and the bird is dropping like it does not have enough lift. I give it power and recover but coming down is rather nerve racking. I have exactly 3 days flying this setup. Today...

Hope you keep us in the loop about the shop. what manufactures are you guys gonna carry? Id love to pay you a visit when you open up. In Denver at least once a month. More when the Rapids season is underway. Video was cool. Im guessing that Dave gets to use his RC skills at work every now and...

that is some cool stuff. just think, what is to come with multi rotors and RC flight? mind boggling to start to wrap your head around it and think about all the things that could happen with this technology to make the word a better place. im sure most of us will have some down moments with the...

oh no worries, in fact i have probably watched it a dozen times. I enjoy your work. have not had anything but DJI FC's but I am growing very fond of the Hoverfly stuff. Great results.
