Sometimes I read through these post and I consider myself lucky, lucky that I already spent my cash before a plagued product came out. I haven't had any problems with my first gen DJI WKM. The only crash that I had was when a prop broke (and crazy that it wasn't a DJI prop...). Was there...

Good info. How are the small quads doing fast forward FPV flight without smacking into the ground? I can't remember having a problem with losing altitude on fast forward flights with my flat hexa. Maybe I was carrying a light load.

I found this on YouTube: http://youtu.be/UxxZYgqzyEM I like to know what other features the new gen of flight controllers have. (I'm sure DJI will take the video down. It seems to happen every time they upload a video. They'll take it down and then repost it.). sweet...

I'll upgrade when I have the blue tooth LED in my possession.

I shouldn't laugh...but maybe he can add the news paper article to his testimonials section. :)

My Y6 does the same in fast forward flight. It do do that on my flat Hexa on an earlier firmware version. I was informed that adjusting the vertical gains could be the solution. My craft maintains perfect altitude hold at hover or slow flying speed. Rapid flight forward has me adjusting...

Was it very windy when you were flying? My WKM Y6 yawed about 45 degrees off of home heading while in RTH mode. It was preety windy the day I was flying. My craft tracked straight despite the yaw. I felt a little nervous, but I let the craft do its thing and return to home. The yaw...

"Another one bites the dust..." If I lived near by I could hook it with my multirotor. :) Agreed. Cost used to limit the occurrence of such incidents. Cheap drones allow everyone to get into the hobby. I'm thankful for the lower cost to get into multirotors. It wasn't too long ago...

Lol. I like that. "You can lie to the fans, but not the players." I never heard of this platform, but I like the foldable quad. This is what we will see more of.

Thanks! I was thinking of a feature that would allow the craft to land automatically where ever it was flown without having to return to home. Specifically in the event of an emergency where you needed to set the craft down immediately vs. having it return to home. I currently use the RTH...

:) Thank you! I remember reading that now. Lol.

My Y6 does the same. I have the WKM. Fast forward flight results in loss of altitude. I didn't have that issue on my Flat Hexa with the same WKM IMU module on an earlier firmware. I guess at some point the angle of attack becomes too steep resulting in a loss of altitude. And I'll never...

I was thinking about the features that DJI implemented in their updates. The one I like most is IOC (Intelligent Orientation Control), and RTH (Return to Home). What do you think about an Auto Land feature for setting the craft down safely where ever it's at. I think it would be great for...

I haven't upgraded yet. I can't even remember what version I'm on now. I have RTH, IOC, and Home Lock which is enough for me. I did download the iOS app for the blue tooth module (whenever it comes out...), and will,up grade then. I like the idea of being able to set a limitation on height...

i have the WKM. Agreed about the power source. I've considered using 4s batteries for longer flights. Maybe my next purchase. The Avoroto motors are rated for 27 amps. Having stronger ESC never hurts. My ship is heavy, but for me it flies great for its weight. I fly it like a camera...

So true. I have 11 and 12 inch Graupners that are extremely quiet. You can't hear it at altitude.

I think this is the beginning. The main fear is protection of privacy from law enforcement or government . People don't want police drones patrolling the skies. Everyone is running scared of "Big Brother". So far Florida's bill sounds better than some that were proposed banning all "drones"...

Looks like he had a lucky flight. I would be worried about mechanical issues and those random concert bottle chuckers. They have such impeccable marksmanship. On a serious note: I had a flat Hexa crash and land in the middle of the woods. Seeing my craft flutter from a prop breaking and...

The Y6 is only redundant if its light enough. My craft is pretty heavy. I flew yesterday and got 6.5 to 7 minutes of flight on my batteries before the first level protection came on. My motors are cool to the touch and the DJI ESC are barely warm at all. It's certainly not a scientific...

No. The hub must have been cracked. I just bought the props and flew it less than five minutes. I heard a loud snap. My flat Hexa went crazy and then DJI's fail safe kick in (like it should) and killed all motors. My craft fell straight down like a rock.
