    Failsafe jumping all over the place

    This post may be deleted. I was used to running my EZUHF from a futaba ff9. The EZUHF ran from the futabas battery but with the JR 11x I have to use an external power supply for the ezuhf.....so turning my transmitter off was not killing the signal, just killing the ppm stream...........IDIOT.

    Failsafe jumping all over the place

    I'm running a JR 11x and EzUHF system on my octo. I set the failsafe, but whenever I turn off the transmitter the arrow in the tx calibration jumps between failsafe and the mode it was previousley in about once per second. Anybody else encounter this? I've tried lots of different things but...

    Wookong worries! HELP

    Also, I know you said you've checked your wiring, but check, check and check again that each of your esc's are plugged into the correct ports on the WKM. I recently had a huge issue and was positive all my wiring was correct. I would take off and the octo would yaw uncontrollably and would...

    Anyone know where I could grab a couple of these in the UK? I've searched but can't find anywhere. Are they even legal to ship in from america at that size?

    High pitch whistle = Insta-headache

    All brand spanking new quality motors from Geoff at quadcopters, so I'm confident it's not the bearings. Hmmmm

    High pitch whistle = Insta-headache

    Nothing major.....just an annoyance really. Since my WKM AD8 is now up and flying i've noticed that the motors (torxpower 3536) make a very high pitch whistling sound, which normally wouldn't bother me on a smaller quad but it's triggering some nasty headaches after flying for a while, its...

    At a total loss, need help

    Hi Geoff, Thank you very much for the offer to take a look at it personally but i've managed to fix it. Appreciated. Feel like a complete idiot. I was extremely OCD about labelling my ESC wires so that I knew which motor each esc wire went to. I was so paranoid about this that I did it 3 times...

    Also she yaws like crazy whilst airbourne which no stick input will fix. Lights were perfect, solid yellow flashes for attitude.

    At a total loss, need help

    Ok so tethered the beast down and tried another flight. She's tethered so that she cant fly higher than 3 feet. All controls respond as you would expect when shes on the deck, if i power up the motors everything works (aileron control tilits her, elevator tilts her and rudder spins her) but as...

    At a total loss, need help

    Hi Geoff, Thanks for the super fast delivery of my new landing gear. Got it built up just. I'll knock the vertical down to 120. My other gains are 250 for pitch, 250 for roll and 200 for yaw. Sound ok? Meme, I definately have control of roll pitch yaw etc Cheers

    Ok guys, so what is the throttle response supposed to feel like in attitude mode? I'm about ready to try again and have lowered my vertical gain to 150%, I've heard this slows the climb/descend rate. I'm used to your standard multi wii/ rc heli response. Does the dji usually jump into the...

    No, I didn't have any green error L.E.D lights and I haven't even touched the fail safe yet. Frustrated!

    At a total loss, need help

    The switches have been set properly, at each setting the arrow is dead in the middle of either GPS, MANUAL or ATTITUDE. My entire setup is as follows: Motors are Torxpower 3536 (tiger motor rebrands I think) ESC's are Hobbywing 40A funfly/pentiums. RX is EZUHF TX is FUTABA T9CP with EZUHF...

    At a total loss, need help

    Just done another bench test without props. If I set the motors going and then leave the throttle low the motors seem to hunt up and down for 4-5 seconds before finally settling down. This is what they did on the flight before it fired off up into the air. Is this meant to happen? is it just...

    At a total loss, need help

    Hi Robvree Thanks for the help matey. Not sure on the LED, it was blinking yellow, then pausing, then blinking I think.... The motors definately cut off completely. I do have it set to Immediately rather than intelligent cut off, but the throttle was above 10% Bench testing all the motors...

    CarbonCore Octo 1000 setup???

    I have checked for the props and can fit APC 13x4.7, giving a higher disc loading, which i hear the WKM likes......if i decide on the DJI that is. Has anybody been succesful with heavy platform stability and the DJI?? Cheers Alex

    CarbonCore Octo 1000 setup???

    Sebas600, Thanks for the input! I will look into the MK controller. Only thing that worries me with MK is you have to pay out over £1000 per year for their commercial liscence if you want to do aerial work. My plan was to do the BNUC exams to allow me to do aerial work at some point in the...

    CarbonCore Octo 1000 setup???

    Ross, Ecalc takes that into account, it gives you an expected flight time for the whole system after looking at draw from each motor, battery capabilities, weight, props used, esc capabilities, motor running temp etc etc. http://www.ecalc.ch/xcoptercalc_e.htm
