Using the same motors on my F550 with RCTimer CF 10x3.7 props, 4s battery carries 3200gr aircraft for 7.5 minutes. After upgrading Naza to v.2 the video footage is very acceptable. Motor temperatures run in the 95 degree range after two flights.

After a long and tedious research project I've ordered and installed a new set of motors on my F550. Using the online eCalc program I narrowed my decision down to two units. The T-Motor MT2216 800kv or the T-Motor MT2216 900kv. The 900kv unit won with its preferred results. I spent a couple of...

Greetings, In regards to isolating the IMU from vibrations I read that using a layer of MoonGel under it helps. It needs to be snugged down with two small zip nylon straps. I'm planning to use this on the IMU and Rx on my upcoming new hex.

Inquiring minds want to know... Because of poor video results I'm upgrading my 2 axis gimbal the carries my NEX 5 with new servos and would like some feedback on servo selection. There are a lot of posts that state that analog servos are smoother that digital. After doing hours of research...

My experience has been great with the new upgrade. My F550 is stock with a gimbal, landing gear and NEX5. Using a 5000 4S 70C battery, last flight was 8.5 minutes. Graupner 10x4.7 blades. I've settled on the following 170, 170, 150, 160 130, 130 My only variable has been the GPS settings...

I had a simular issue. After checking the GPS sensor I have it mounted 180 degrees backwards. Big brain fart.... I also read in the manual that when calibrating the aircraft pointing vertically (second 360 spin) you must have the nose pointing down. Bob

In this month's Model Aviation magazine Bob Brown, President of AMA, Academy of Model Aeronautics addresses his strong concern about irresponsible people flying drones near full-scale aircraft, siting the nationally reported event of a drone flying at the approach to JFK International Airport...

Your situation is odd. Burning up three motors with a stock setup and recommended batteries within an hour of flight time.... Not sure what is going on with this. Replacing the motors is certainly an option but the stock DJI motors are above average... I would be concerned that any motor would...

Can you elaborate a little on your F550 please... camera, gimbal, landing gear or is it just the stock F550 frame and motors? Battery size would be of interest as well. A possible option on props are the APC Slow Fly or E (electric) 10x4.7 or 10x5...

My flight path as viewed for professional photography and video applications was: - Purchased the Blade mQX without the bundled transmitter; purchased the Spektrum DX6i transmitter. I have over 50 flights on this - Purchased the RealFlight simulator and flew the GAUI quad for 40+ flights -...

I was not able to located an affordable solution. Seems simple enough... maybe something from this years NAB show will surface.

I had a similar situation happen... not knowing the proper switches to move I quickly turned off the transmitter and back on. Added power and turned the switch that controls manual/ATTI/GPS to GPS... landed the aircraft and thanked the flight gods for a safe return.

Using a DJI NAZA controller with GPS? Are you having unstable flight problems? This post might helpful. When measuring/finding the location of your aircraft's center of gravity try this procedure; configure your aircraft with a full flight load. Attach a string with a light weight (like a...

Using a stock F550 and the new SkyRover setup with landing gear and direct drive 2 axes gimbal. With a new Thunder Power 4S 5000 mAh 70C battery the aircraft flies very well with a Hero 3 or Canon NEX5. Average flight times are around 7 minutes. I did a lot of research on F550 gimbals and...

Are you planning to fly the F550 with or without a camera and gimbal? My stock aircraft is fitted with a SkyRover kit that includes the landing gear and gimbal. I've found that the 10" Graupners work very well once you punch out the center bushing. No need for washers, just snug up the hub...

Greetings, I just finished a flight with similar conditions and several strong gusts I've been testing these adjustments by using the X1 option linked to the transmitter that allows me to make adjustments in flight. I'm using the stock DJI F550 with a S3 5000 battery. The last several...

Great information. We fly using the GPS and way-points feature on our aircraft and this will help in getting a more accurate flight path.

After spending a lot of time and money we have settled on the 3-Axis Radian Stabilization Module for our gimbal controller. If you watch any of the video footage done by Ben Rowland at Yonder Blue Films you will find that his setup is one of the best. When he posted his review on this product...
