Standarized configuration of Futaba 8FG Super for both NAZA and WKM is now updated as per the image below. CAUTION: Use at own risk.... author not responsible for incorrect functioning of your MR as a result of using these standardized configurations.

I am quite sure that the DJI online FAQ section has a comment about drifting and how to avoid it..... something to do with delay time before launch etc. check it out. Too bad they did not include that tidbit in their Naza user manual!!!!

They only time I ran into such issues is when I turned the MR on before turning on the Radio transmitter. Must turn RC transmitter on first, always. Also I allow 5 seconds after the rapidly flashing blue led stops before taking off. was using fw 5.18...

Need more information from you, i.e., 3S or 4S batteries? prop sizes, your flight takeoff elevation above sea level, outdoor temperature etc., I get around 15 mins with: F550 c/w WKM, stock DJI 30 amp ESCs, NTM prop drive 35-30 1100KV motors, 10x5 Graupner props, Futaba R6208SB receiver plus...

If anyone is trying to fly both the NAZA and the WKM, they will find there are just enough differences to create some confusion initially. And confusion while flying is not a good thing! The LED lighting, colors etc. are similar in some respects then deviate because the WKM offer more colors and...

Firmware upgrade 5.2 was just released and was developed to resolve that issue. Not saying that turbulent air flow could also contribute to these issues.

If the programming in these is Ansi C.... I am not the least bit surprised. The coding is efficient but doesn't accomodate additional features or adjustments without hours and hours of debugging and retesting on the bench..... Every change means you have another tiger by the tail!!! then some...

I completed the firmware upgrade to 5.2..... immediately before or while doing the upgrade, a note appeared indicating the reason...... there were reports of some motor speeds oscillating up and down previously. DJI claims this firmware upgrade resolves that issue. That was happening to a...

Increased conductor resistance reduces your system efficiency, i.e., will only decrease your total flight time and/or possibly slightly reduce the peak voltage that might otherwise reach your motors due to voltage division. I don't see a risk of damage at all. The two upper legs of your parallel...

I thought I read somewhere that a fly-away is often the result of motor/prop vibration eventually affecting the electronics. How well was your system balanced for vibration?

According to message 4... the flip only happens is manual mode...... only hesitates in other modes. If in manual mode, then only the three gyros are providing upright stability..... if it is PID controller then for the NAZA you only can adjust the proportional and reset gains I believe...

Run your system thru eCalc for multirotors and see if your stock motors can handle the weight with the 2 batteries in parallel and the full payload. And don't forget that the higher C rated batteries are almost always significantly heavier. You will see in my signature below the details on the...

Someone posted c/w video the loss of two props in the air on a Y6 or X8 was only able to land it safely using manual mode. The WKM was able to regain flying mode but wasn't good enough in Attitude or GPS mode to work it out for safe landing. I'll see if I can find that item.

Here is my understanding.....based on what I have read and learned during my brief involvement in electronics years ago..... EEPROMS can't handle light energy such that in a worst case scenario, the embedded program can be damaged or erased. EEPROM (Double EE stands for Electrically Eraseable...

Damn..... that manual mode is bad news with the vertical...... did the same with my F550 when I first got it.......flying inside my garage (-25 deg C outside)..... it hit the ceiling and put out the light, then hit the floor. Hard to fly in the dark!!! I don't believe in using hot air for...

When using 3S batteries with my F550 I always use two in parallel, i.e., each is 25C and 5000 mah = 10 amps total current on demand. While the intent is to increase flight time...... if I understand the theory correctly you will then not need 35C or higher when placing two batteries in...

Get rid of the gimbal outputs and extra payload until the battery issues are first resolved..... And for the 8 and 9 inch props you need to use 4S batteries..... as per the following excerpt from the F550 specs/manual. If you are using 10 inch props you can use the 3S batteries but your payload...

There are several possibilities.... 1) Did you calibrate your your Naza voltage detection as per page 28 of the Naza Assistant manual? 2) There could be excessive current draw if the gimbal servos bind 3) The NAZA PMU doesn't work correctly if the outdoor temperature is very low, e.g., below 32...

Carefully draw a box cutter knife or razor bladed back and forth thru the double-sided tape if that was used. If you used epoxy for installing the aluminum pieces to the carbon fiber mast and need to disassemble these parts apply heat from a heat gun but not too much. Most epoxies just can't...

Very well done video, from Austria.... both from PC screen and Octocopter/OktoKopter explains a great deal about GCS..... Makes it all look quite easy..... I only have single waypoint..... Not sure if I can define waypoint in advance then upload..... Must complete comprehensive "ground...
