    A2 receiver vs external. What are you using and why?

    I wouldn't worry about using either an external receiver or the in built one. There have been so few reports of A2 caused crashes for some time now and a whole shed load of them in use that I suspect that either option is proving to be pretty robust (hopefully those aren't famous last words!). I...

    Airborne X8, any one used these?

    When you spin up the KDEs verses the Tigers they are much smoother with less vibes and they also react a lot more quickly if using the KDE ESCs which I would recommend using due to the matching of the pole counts- KDE use a higher pole count than most others so worth using their ESCs. Whilst KDE...

    Airborne X8, any one used these?

    The KDEs are definitely a cut above the Tigers. My Skyjib has the U7s and my new Raven has the KDEs. KDEs seem a lot better. Tuomas, how long a flight time do you get carrying a red with those batteries?

    30+Minutes of flight time...

    Before we can answer any of what you are asking, for what purpose are you wanting the quadcopter ie what is the payload you intend to carry and how heavy is it? This is the most important bit to get first.

    Newbie, just joined - UK

    5.8Ghz is good to go now so don't worry there- I think you will find your lateral distance reduced from 500m but a Phantom out at 500m is already pretty much illegal as you just wont be able to see it for the purpose of avoiding collisions with other air users so I wouldn't worry too much on...

    A2 receiver vs external. What are you using and why?

    I use a Jeti plugged in via the DJI sbus converter. Works a treat. No disadvantages from what I can see, big advantage is that it is allowing me to use the best TX out there (in my opinion of course- others will clearly disagree!)

    Can you video the issue as this will help. Cant really follow what you are getting at.

    Nice idea- looks effective and you could well be onto something here.

    Super Heavy Lift x8 multicopter

    The problem as I see it with open source software (and I am the first to admit that I don't know the first thing about it) is that there is an accountability issue. Closed source software at least will have an accountable manager and an organization behind it that can have its processes...

    Spektrum DX8

    If you go to the System menu and I think it is switch asign then you can make the gear switch to channel 8 (aux 2). If Aux 2 is assigned to another location you have to disable this first. As for further programming, if you want to do that then you have to look at other radios Im afraid...

    Spektrum DX8

    If you press the scroll wheel while turning on you will get the system menu and you can assign switches and change to aircraft rather than helicopter there.

    WKM IMU not working

    Sounds like it is time to either get it sent in for repair or to get a new WKM.

    Confused Beginner Needs Some Help

    I have always thought the difference between Futaba and Spektrum to be a bit like Mac and PC. With multis though, many of the manufacturers have adopted Futaba especially the likes of DJI. Now I know you are not going near DJI at the moment but it might be something to think about. Secondly, it...

    Zero UAV Zero UAV HighOne Quadcopter

    I had and issue with my Gemini and Zero just ducked out of giving a responsible response so whilst the product looks good on paper and some clearly get good results, I feel that they have got a very long way to go before they are even tapping on the doors of what DJI are offering, including DJI...

    DJI A2 - LED Problem - Flashes only Green

    When you plug your A2 into the Assistant software (using a USB cable) is there a warning triangle at the bottom right?

    Wookong V2 IMU

    Ive got one on my Wookong- it came out whilst the A2 was being developed and it looks very similar. I have no idea however if it would work with an A2.
