    dji f550 unpon plug in of battery, nothing but beeps, radio doesent even bind

    I well researched question posted to a forum c/w all required background data will generate one excellent answer to your question..... Ambiguous questions create confusion, many more questions, and most often..... misleading answers if any at all. The F550 was developed to accomodate a wide...

    Extra long F550 arms.

    While that would be possible the best solution is to use a disc that fits tightly into the existing arm circular recess. Tthen fix a point on the template disc to prevent it from rotating aligned with one of the existing arm mounting holes. In this way the new mounting hole positions are...

    My F800 "Finger Snapper"

    The PMU shown on the top front of your 1st photo is definitely the one that comes with the NAZA....... If that is the only one you are using you will have issues especially at colder temperatures. The one that comes with the WKM is a square alumimum one and it is superior to the Naza one.

    Extra long F550 arms.

    Obviously much larger motors can be used for the RCT800...... In my opinion the newer pan motor designs which have a larger radius but can be much shorter. Larger radius provides more magnetic torque for larger props.....Turnigy Multistar 22 pole for 4S motors or Sunny Sky if you want to spend...

    Extra long F550 arms.

    See attached photos...... One inner hole is drilled to prevent the template from rotating and falling out. Once you have the disc template made..... the process of completing remaining tasks moves along very fast.....

    Extra long F550 arms.

    The RCT800 arms are extremely solid and inflexible..... no concerns there. I have two F550's one with Naza.... other with WKM.... There was no original intention to emulate the S800.... just kept upgrading F550 parts and voila...... a near clone to the S800.... but with more limited AUW. The...

    My F800 "Finger Snapper"

    Here is my RCT800 c/w the clone S800 landing gear...... will add the rest asap including Hero GoPro3 Black and/or other larger camera. Might shorten the landing legs a bit since I may remain with smaller, lighter cameras. Accomodating the RCT800 arms for S800 landing gear installation required...

    Extra long F550 arms.

    Here is my RCT800 c/w clone S800 landing gear modified to fit the RCT800 arms (not an easy fix but worth it IMHO). Design intent is to remain with 4S batteries and not carry cameras much heavier than the Hero GoPro3.... Might try to add retractable landing gear kit later.

    battery charger case

    Looks great. I have two of the same server power supplies. Are the metal PS cases insulated/isolated from each other or bolted together?

    My F800 "Finger Snapper"

    You indicate that you are using the WKM but the photos also show the PMY that comes with the Naza........ are your using both PMUs? Seems to me that only the WKM provides the white LED warning flashes.

    My F800 "Finger Snapper"

    Measured both but forgot to write it down..... basically all DJI components will fit in between the two plates with the exception of the WKM's IMU which you can mount above or below these two plates.

    Question about IOC

    Assuming your MR records it's launch point and the pilot remains close to the launch point, RTH works extremely well and without risk of confusion.... just trust it to do the job! IOC...... is quite confusing such that it may not always work as you might expect it to...... if confused or not...
