Just reading through the manual, it states that the nose of the machine must be pointed downwards when doing the second part of the calibration dance- have you given this a go?

You say you did M1 to front right which is correct but then you say M2 to the right- this is wrong, it should go anticlockwise ie Front right is M1 front left is M2

The CAA are one of the real anomalies in Government (well the RPAS part of them is) in that they are wholeheartedly trying to take a minimalistic approach to the regulation so they are genuinely doing their level best to 'keep it sweet'. At times I think they keep it almost a bit too sweet as...

The CAA do follow up when they have the proof although this has only recently started as their resources have been limited. Rules are there to protect people's safety not to mess us around. The CAA are genuinely applying a minimalistic approach to regulation and I think to good effect. The...

Well, taking the 'common sense' approach means making sure you have insurance. If it is for work purposes you simply wont have insurance without a permission for aerial work from the CAA unless what you are doing is purely from a hobby point of view. BMFA insurance covers hobby use only and any...

Stacky, that makes a lot of sense. I fly an Octo and use atti and GPS a lot but I can fly manual as if second nature (been flying 3d aerobatics on helis for years) however I don't use manual unless in an emergency due to the dangers posed by loss of orientation although I do practice in my...

Welcome to the addiction!

That is your first warning of low voltage. If it goes to red, then you are on your second. If it is coming on too soon for what you are expecting then you may need to calibrate the voltage meter- this can be done in the A2 Assistant in one of the Expert Tabs.

Well, they are both professional FCs. WKM is the old version of the A2. The A2 has been having a lot of problems of late where as the WKM is pretty tried and tested. With that said, I have been testing an A2 rig for the shop I work in conjunction with and I have been ragging this thing around...

Can you get a video of you doing stick calibration with the camera looking at the A2 assistant software as you do it? This might help to see what is going on.

Also check that your sticks are moving the right direction. Both the elevator and throttle should move to the right in the Assistant software when you push forward on them. Finally, if you are on firmware 2.2 you may find that you are in an airport restricted zone. Update to 2.3 to get rid of...

What happened to your Jeti kit Ferdinandk

Can't see the link to Jeti either however I have just built a machine for lifting Reds etc using the Jeti Hicopters. These have been excellent so far. No programming required with up to 500hz refresh rate designed specifically for MR use. Using them with my DJI A2 and Tiger U7 motors and not a...

I see Scorpion are now making MR motors. Has anyone any experience of their MR motors and if so, what are your thoughts?

If you have calibrated your transmitter to the A2 correctly then you shouldn't need any trim- I am no Futaba expert, but isn't that 30% trim on your Ail? I suspect this may be where the problem lies. I think that when you try the CSC, the A2 is not seeing one of the channels going fully to its...

Stacky, how far away do you fly from yourself and at what speeds when flying in manual? Just curious as I have been fling RC helis for years so manual is second nature to me but I won't fly my octo in manual due to orientation even though it is well lit/taped etc to help in this regard.

Im guessing that the sudden increase in revs could have caused some momentary bad vibrations causing the IMU to go 'blind' but that is just a guess.

The CAA thinks that the restrictions around airports is a bad thing as it takes control away from the pilot. THIS is sensible thinking. DJI should perhaps realise it is no longer in the toy industry but has entered professional aviation. Time to engage with the various authorities and develop a...

10xa2 controllers and 6 failures, 4 of which are confirmed A2 failures. The other two's symptoms were identical to the 4 known a2 failures. All machines were on 2.1 and most exhibited a complete loss of control from the pilot despite go home, attitude mode etc being used to try and regain...

The only enhancement I can think of is getting rid of the torx screws and replacing them with hex or vice versa. It is just another tool that someone has to carry around. Personally I prefer torx over hex but having a mix doesn't seem logical to me. Otherwise I cant think of anything. So far the...
