    F550 Battery mounting

    I guess I'm hesitant to run them off the same battery. I can't decide if two batteries equates to more points of failure or less. Would I lose more flight time from adding the weight of a second battery or from the drain of the camera and Tx? Also, is the purpose of the BEC to eliminate voltage...

    F550 Battery mounting

    Here's a link to the product: http://m.banggood.com/Eachine-ET600-5_8G-32CH-600mW-Super-Light-Transmitter-p-974640.html How much time can I expect from a 1000 mAh battery? Is 2200 mAh too much/big? My local shop has the 2200 on sale. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    F550 Battery mounting

    I run a 4S battery on the hex and the Tx only supports 2-3S. I've also heard about BEC adding noise to the system. Side note: can you recommend a better antenna than the linear antenna included with the transmitter?

    F550 Battery mounting

    While I wouldn't consider myself a beginner (I've been flying for ~2 years) with my f550, I did just recently take the dive into FPV. Yesterday on a whim I purchased a decently reviewed FPV headset/receiver combo (Eachine EV800), a vTx (Eachine ET600, overheating concerns?), a FPV camera (RunCam...

    Do you have your gimbal attached to any sort of vibration dampener?

    FrSky Taranis Button Failure?

    So last night I opened it up... Nice to get a look inside the Taranis, but nothing seemed to have come unstuck, and after reseating it, everything is back to working. While I'm certain this is only an intermittent fix I did have the opportunity to fashion up an RF blocker to try and cut the...

    Camera Positioning Kits/ Gimbals

    Hey Jim, In thinking about your predicament is it possible for you to shift the centering of the rods towards the camera end to bring the battery in closer towards the CG and pushing the camera further away generating a stronger moment arm? My engineering brain says with the right mix you could...

    X8R Smart Port -> LiPo Sensor -> 40A Current Sensor I was sent a bad servo cable from Fr Sky, but that's another story.

    FrSky Telemetry Modules

    I'm using the E300 propulsion kit from DJI on my F550. I know what you are saying, but theoretically this setup should work on any one of my motor/esc combos. I think its a Taranis configuration problem. I never get readings for Current or Power. Voltage Source: Cells Current Source: FAS

    FrSky Telemetry Modules

    between my PDB and ESC. the 40A sensor isn't high enough capacity to place between my BAT and PDB. This was my attempt to find a place to stick this sensor. I know it alters the run, but If it's an issue i can just remove it. I can't figure out why the taranis isn't receiving data. I'm currently...

    FrSky Telemetry Modules

    Wired up correctly, Smart port plugged in. LED slowly flashing. Motor on opposite end of ESC is operating normally. I'm super duper lost. Could it be an offset type thing?

    FrSky Telemetry Modules

    I'm really struggling to get my 40A sensor setup. I've got it all wired up and connected, but don't know what to change in the Taranis settings to get it to make sense. Under current source do i use A1-A4 or FAS?

    FrSky Taranis Button Failure?

    Thanks! I've used the companion before and last night I opened up the Taranis to check out what might be the problem, but it got to my bed time before I could get all the way down to the buttons themselves.

    Camera Positioning Kits/ Gimbals

    Does any have a recommended gimbal/camera combo they would recommend for my F550? I was looking at the GP Hero 3. As for a camera positioning kit, do you recommend one? Helipal offers this one(http://www.helipal.com/camera-position-kit-660mm.html), but I can't seem to find any reviews of the...

    FrSky Taranis Button Failure?

    I was setting up my Taranis with some new functions last night. All of the a sudden the "+" button stops working. From my internet research this is clearly a known problem... how do I fix it?
