Descending on an angle certainly helps but if it happens again just give it a bit of juice on the throttle and you will get out of it quickly. This is one of the reasons I prefer doing AP from my single rotor, they just fly that much better but having said that my gimbal cant quite keep up with...

That just looks like being too aggressive in your descent without the gains properly set. Multirotors do not like coming down too quickly as the motors slow down a great deal and they are moving into more turbulent air. Next time this happens just bump the throttle up, let it stabilize and then...

You probably have channels reversed so have a look at the TX cal screen. On the throttle and elevator sliders, if you push these sticks forward on the TX the sliders should go right. If these channels are wrong then your combo stick move wont be arming the WKM properly

Got it, so just like the Phantom/Naza. I agree, I prefer the gradual build up of revs but I can live with the new throttle providing all of the previous issues have been solved but I dont have much confidence in that just yet- need to give this firmware some more time in the 'public beta-...

What do you mean exactly- doesn't sound too good this.

+1, it seems to be normal. It certainly got my head scratching when I first encountered it.

I wonder how many 'I hate DJI, my XXX just flew away' can actually be attributed to flying too close to powerful emitters? The point here is that I suspect there are a lot more incidents out there of people flying unwittingly close to such objects without really understanding the risks or indeed...

A couple of reasons- not everyone uses a WKM on an S800 or other photographic rig and manual mode allows you to fly some aerobatics if that is your thing. Secondly, if you have the skill and or balls, in manual mode you can make the aircraft fly faster and harder than in the other modes (not...

You can use both the x2 and x3 channel ie two channels at once.

I find the stock antenna works very well with it, or at least if you are flying within 500m of yourself. Do you need the antenna to change because of flying further away than 500m (which you should not do if you are flying in the UK)?

Also, make sure you don't have things like phones in your pocket or anything else that can interfere with the compass.

Each setup can be very different. I know of someone only able to get about 140 in roll and pitch on a Skyjib 8 and another person who is able to get just over 200, also on a Skyjib 8. You just need to start low, say 120-150 and build up the gain from there. If you start the gain too high it will...

Yes, do tweek the gains. In order to set the gains do not go just off a predefined set of values or what someone else has used (they are only useful to see if you are in the right ball park). Each aircraft is different so set them up yourself. Don't be afraid of doing this. Set a morning or a...

I think this one is quite easy. With the extra weight, and quite a bit extra, you have not adjusted your gains- or if you have, not properly. You can hear the motors oscillating as such suggesting the gains are too high. This will only add to the vibrations in the airframe and as we know with...

The higher voltage wont harm the charger. I run 2x 4010 Duos on these PSUs - works superbly Sent from my GT-I9305 using Tapatalk 2

Hmm I reckon that a well setup 700+ class CP heli is every bit as stable as a MR and is a better airframe all round. Most people dont bother with them though because a/ they are harder to fly and b/ they are harder to set up correctly.......discuss

What you have to understand is that in GPS and Atti mode, your 'throttle' stick isn't so much a throttle control more a rate of descent/ascent control. So when your stick goes over the half way point the WKM sees the input as a climb rate of x ft/s and then sets the throttle accordingly. In...

All sorted now. I had my modes set up correctly from the start but I rather stupidly thought that you didn't need to plug the thing into the WKM and that this was optional. Once I plugged it in, all was golden. Doh!

This is not the case I am afraid to say. You can happily set up multi-rotors using a heli setup providing you just check that the channels are mapped correctly. I have set up my WKM using the heli settings perfectly and I didn't need to remap a single channel. With that said I dont really see an...

I use immediate but I also use two throttle curves. I do this purely for safety. When I want to kill the motors, I want to kill them then and there but I also don't want to kill the motors by inadvertently descending too quickly. So, for take off and landing I have a bog standard throttle curve...
