    Best radio for f450

    But what you can do with the Speky satellites for instance is mount them right out on the end of opposite booms giving a far clearer signal (as far from the carbon frame as possible) and covering a full 360degrees around the MR. Don't get me wrong, Im not saying you are wrong at all, just...

    DJI A2 Hands-on

    Kloner, what's your thoughts on the Super X? This looks like a bit of a dark horse that could give the A2 / WKM a good run for the money. It seems very popular with those that have them but very few have used both the Super X and WKM so it would be great to hear your views once you have had a...

    Battery basics

    No, you can use 80% of the batteries capacity ie for a 10,000mAh battery you can use up to 8,000mAh which normally brings the battery cell voltage to 3.7ish volts. Lipos do not discharge in a linear fashion. They are fully charged at 4.2v a cell and pretty much empty at 3.2v per cell. When you...

    Battery basics

    You can happily stop a charge mid way through without causing any ill effect. Ideally you should not discharge to 3.3 v per cell. Better off to discharge to 3.7v per cell in use as this will be approx 80% of the batteries capacity. Storage v is about 3.8-3.9v per cell.

    TX RX compatability?

    In short, sadly you can't use one make of RX with another make of TX eg Futaba and Spektrum do not mix nor will Jeti or Multiplex. Some older JR radios were compatible with Spektrum and you can get cheap knock off receivers such as Orange which mix with Spektrum but most companies use...

    Strange Wookong issue

    If it worked fine in Atti it wont be the IMU. This also starts to point the finger towards a GPS issue.

    Aeronavics / Droidworx New Build Planned - SkyJib-X4 Heavy Retractable

    If it were to have a global shutter that would be awesome but I guess it probably won't

    Battery basics

    Ref using the last flight of the day to get to storage voltage- personally I make full use of the flight as more stick time is only a good thing. Remember that putting charge INTO the battery to get to the storage voltage is a lot quicker than taking charge OUT of the battery. Of course, if time...

    Wooking and Zenmuse Z15 - Will this work?

    The trouble with the buddy lead is that the pilot normally has to keep a finger pressed on a button to keep it active. Also the buddy lead tends to transfer all commands onto the buddying tx so to speak. Or at least that is how it works for spektrum. Unless things have recently trained the whole...

    throttle doesn't change until I reach 50%

    The reason for this is that in GPS and Atti mode, the throttle stick is not acting as a throttle demand but as a rate of climb demand. Below 50% the aircraft is trying to descend but cant because of the ground thus the revs stay at their idling rpm. As soon as you hit 50% the aircraft is being...

    XAircraft Uneven Power output

    This is without doubt a motor alignment issue. Even if they are all lined up perfectly with each other, by being off from vertical by as much as .3 of a degree can cause this. In short during your flight, the aircraft is having to put in a constant yaw correction to counteract a slightly off...

    HDMI GH3 No Video

    Camera settings would be the first place to look at. Try the camera off the gimbal and if the live screen goes off when you start recording then you have a setting somewhere in the camera causing this.

    DJI A2 violet blinks

    This is the indication that you are 10m or less from your home point. Does this blinking remain in the air once you fly lets say 20m away from the home point?

    Servoless Retract mounting hole spacing?

    Andy, given that you know the hole spacing (in the guff below the picture ie 24x28mm) why not just create your plate starting with M3 holes. If you need to make them larger you can simply drill out the original holes- the hard bit is getting the holes in the right place after all. I can't...

    Hoverfly Manual flying, tips for RC controller setup

    Best tip of the lot is to simply practice, practice and practice some more. This might sound like a dull reply but it is the only true way to be able to fly in manual mode. Doing this on a sim should be a big part of the practice as this will save you cash from avoided crashes and give you more...
