    My Flyaway Came Home 5 weeks later

    So you think fly aways with DJI's are a rare occurrence? Maybe you should google "fly-aways" then spend the next six weeks or so reading and watching videos about them, then maybe you'll have an idea of what I'm talking about. That term was invented for DJI. Your assumption would be wrong and...

    Pixhawk the new flight controller from 3DR

    But what do you call a multi rotor moving and storage company? I've seen a couple A2 crashes with large MR's that were over propped. They took off OK but started to become very unstable, kind of looked like they got "flushed" then crashed. These were really expensive MR's and the owners were...

    Pixhawk the new flight controller from 3DR

    I don't know anything about the Pixihawk but I'm curious what are you trying to lift with 28" props and 170KV motors?

    My Flyaway Came Home 5 weeks later

    Why would you buy another DJI after the last one you owned flew away? What would have happened if instead of hitting the tree it hit someone or the guys dog? The best kind of tracking device is to use a controller that won't fly away uncontrolled in the first place.

    What Motors should i use ?

    I'd suggest you think about what your asking. What motors to do what? Just about any motor will fly a x650 quad, but what do you want it to do? How much weight do you plan to lift? If all your going for is flight time then get bigger props, lower KV motors, 9" props are a bit small for that...

    XAircraft SuperX Throttle Direction Problem

    I've had several DJI's and the SuperX flies much better than anything DJI makes. I try and tell people that and they think I'm putting down DJI, but I'm not. I guess its just something you have to experience for yourself. Have fun flying it.

    XAircraft SuperX Throttle Direction Problem

    I believe you also have to reverse the throttle in the setup software of the SuperX. In fact if I remember correctly I think there several that needed to be reversed and at first I thought it was odd but it worked exactly as explained in the setup video and the manual.

    XAircraft SuperX

    Phantom and quality Ap should never be mentioned in the same sentence, its an oxymoron. For professional good quality AP you need something more than a GoPro and without significant modification the Phantom will not fly anything larger than a GoPro safely. And the odds increase significantly...

    XAircraft Super X heavy lift with 13 lb payload GPS testing

    Yeah the SX seems to be very stable. I've been flying in wind a lot lately, 20 gusting to 30 kinds of winds and my quad, Avroto 2814-11's and 12" props has been very smooth and predictable. I'd be very hesitant to fly in that sort of wind with any DJI but I don't think twice about it now. I...

    XAircraft Super X heavy lift with 13 lb payload GPS testing

    You know that video is a horizontal medium, right? Your s brave soul testing the RTH with a 13lb payload on you first day. What % did it hover at? What motors and props? What are your first impressions of the SuperX?

    XAircraft XAircraft X650 Pro - Owners

    You certainly have circling around a point down well. Not sure what bouncing your referring too but I'd suggest shooting with the GoPro set to medium PV instead of wide to get rid of a lot of the fisheye and also when your flying s close to the ground, depending on the available light the...

    Wookong M GPS Mode - Fair Warning

    I think fly aways are caused by bad programing and a lot of DJI owners make a lot of excuses for bad programing. Sounds like I'm a jerk but if you get 92 stitches in your face from uncontrolled flight you stop making excuses and start looking for a controller that you can trust. That's just...

    Wookong M GPS Mode - Fair Warning

    There's no hype there, it flies exactly as you see in the video, that's what I like about the SuperX, it might not have all the functionality that DJI claims to have (most of which I don't need, but that's just me) but it has always responded exactly the way I expected to control inputs in ALL...

    Wookong M GPS Mode - Fair Warning

    By what people are saying here I'd agree that a DLI probably won't fly away in manual, so don't buy a DJI because if that's the only thing you can trust then its not worth it. The SuperX flies better in GPS than the NAZA flies in manual. I don't know exactly how they accomplish it but what I...

    What's better then a gopro?

    You can set a higher ISO so you can shoot at f./8 or more and focus to infinity. In your case where your close you will have to guesstimate the focal distance, but having a higher f-stop will give you a much greater DOF. I just shot with a 7D on a large quad at an airport so I could not go...

    Wookong M GPS Mode - Fair Warning

    This kind of thing sucks no matter why it happens. I was an early adopter of DJI FC's and had two incidents that "inspired" me to change controllers. When intelligent shutoff was introduced my Hex "shutoff" at about 25 feet. When I reported it to DJI and posted the video on this RCGroups I...
