Hello everyone, I have been into RC helicopters for many years and last year got interested in multicopters. I eventually ended up with an F550 with an aeroxcraft gopro gimbal using a Wookong for flight control. It has been very dependable and I have gotten pretty good at flying smoothly and...

Oh yeah, it can be done much cheaper. I think theirs is partially built so I guess that is why it is so expensive. I just checked and the servos I have on mine are $17 hitec servos. :) The Zephyr doesn't need much throw at all so the best way to do it is to put long control horns on the...

My ZI I bought used broke up in a dive so I built a brand new ZII a couple of weeks ago. This thing is rock solid with absolutely no flex at all. It is super stable also. I usually use Fly By Wire on my RVOSD to stabilize the plane but I have forgot to turn it on and it took me a while to...

Just saw on RCGroups that Sydney said to hold off on 5.10 due to some problems that popped up with it. He said 5.12 (I think) would be available in a few hours.

That did it! Thanks! Oddly enough though I tried that before and it didn't work. Now the only problem is my text is microscopic. :( I have good eyes but man, that is small.

The reason it is unknown is that the wookong wasn't plugged in when the screenshot was taken. It displays the whole screen on the other laptop but not this one no matter if the WKM is hooked up or not.

I am having problems on my laptop with the assistant cutting off some of the options, especially in the autopilot screen. I installed it on a smaller laptop I have (that I really don't like too much) and it worked on it. Any ideas how to fix it? Here is a screenshot.

On RCGroups Sydneyw said it would be ready hopefully by the end of next week.

Cool, thanks! I'll try to figure it all out later. Worked out in the hot sun all day and I think my brain is fried right now. lol

Nice! I just bought an original Zephyr that was built by Webdr at the Southeastern FPV Flyin weekend before last. I am really liking it so far. Flies fast but also runs pretty efficiently for long range flights. One question on yours. What type of hub are you using for the 10x6 folding...

Can you use a TX if you want and switch between the two?

I FINALLY got to really use the gimbal last weekend. I upgraded to a F550 since the prices dropped on the DJI frames and had quite a bit more space and lifting ability. I didn't even adjust the gimbal settings in the Wookong because I was in a hurry to get it done and it worked very well. I...

Wow, that first one looks like it nearly got you. That could have been ugly. A friend had some 8" Graupners he wasn't going to use so I bought them from him yesterday. They don't have quite as much power as the DJI 8" because they are quite a bit thinner I assume. I probably could go a...

Well, I have been meaning to get some Graupners but just never got around to it. Today I was flying my FPV F450 and went out about 3/4 a mile because I was trying out a shortened antenna to see if it would work long range. I was on my way back and almost made it when I heard a noise and the...

I knew that but I am using a Dragon Link TX and RX on a 9C. Someone on RCGroups recommended an SBus converter so I could use my Dragon Link RX. I am going to go that route probably. I didn't know they made those until he told me.

Hi everyone, I have been looking at something larger than my F450 to hopefully carry a larger camera than a GoPro in the future. I have been looking at an X8 but just realized that I won't have Gimbal control with ESC's hooked up to the F1 and F2 output. I remember reading something somewhere...

I really like the way yours is setup rsun. I'm really thinking of upgrading my F450 to a F550 and getting this landing gear. I have the gimbal already but it's a little difficult to mount it on the F450 even with my landing gear extensions. What size batteries are you using and have you...

I solved the gimbal servo twitching problem with the Naza. I bought a WKM. :nevreness: I haven't mounted the gimbal but I plugged it all in and got no twitching at all and the servos were silent unless they were moving. I am now considering selling the Naza controller and getting an F550...

Hi everyone. I am considering upgrading my F450 to something that has a little more room for gear and can carry a little more weight. I found this http://shop.xaircraftusa.com/XAircraft-Glass-Fiber-Hexa-Kit-w-Complete-Power-Set-XAircraft-Hexa-GF-PU.htm and the price looks very nice for what is...

I may have to build something like this. What is the diameter of the PVC in inches? Here in the US there is 1/2", 3/4", 1" etc. The thickness of the wall is sch 20, 40, 80, etc.
