So the other day I was showing my camera op how to put on the arms on the S800. After taking off I notice some weird yaw behavior. after hovering around about 5-10 feet I went into a spin. Luckily I was able to recover quickly and land with no damage. I thought for sure I had a prop nut slipping...

I've read the manuals and scoured the internet but I still can't get my radios to pair up for trainer mode. Master TX is the t14sg, student tx is T8fgs and I'm using a standard trainer cable I got from my local shop. I went through the steps of turning on the first four channels to be controlled...

So Im getting some drift on my roll axis with my zenmuse. Now before you tell me to balance all three axises, I did that. Out of the box the roll and pan axis were pretty off, and I have balanced and rebalanced at least 4 times. So now I have a little bumble level and make sure I'm level before...

Not sure when these were released, there has been some chit chat on this forum and rcgroups but I haven't heard any reviews or test. Seems like its a pretty simple design for a simple problem. Anyone? http://www.secraft.net/shop/step1.php?number=1343

I have read a few accounts of this happening to people but I have not really figured out the issue. After taking off I will get a rapid green light flashing indicating IMU data lost. If I put a fresh pair of lipos on it will fly for a minute or two without the lights. If I didn't see the light I...

Hello, Selling my AV130 Gimbal with landing gear and independent gimbal controller made specifically for this gimbal. Its the most updated version of the Skyline which has dummy pots preinstalled. Also has bec hooked up for clean 5 or 6 volt setup. Landing gear has slots on either side for...

Worth watching, although it mostly talks about military drones. You can stream directly from their website. http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/nova/military/rise-of-the-drones.html

Im not sure if this is the best forum for lipo discussion but I'll give it a shot. I recently bought two Hyperion 6s split packs. I received them earlier this week, and right out the box they where not balanced perfectly, but pretty close. After a number of charge and discharge cycles I can not...

So I think I know what I need to do to make this work but I just wanted to see if anyone had any input. Right now I am running my WKM though the SBus on the R6209SB rx. (and using Futaba 8FG Super. In the radios manuel it says you can switch the channel settings so the output connectors on the...

This must have been discussed, but I didn't find it when I searched the forum. Has anyone used these secraft prop adapters? They seem slick and readily available. Don't know much about this company but I was checking out their landing gear when I found these...

So the internet is great at supplying information, but it is also a cacophony voices and opinions. I am totally sold on buying a z15 gimbal, and I would like to have a hexa copter that packs away as nice as the S800 for a similar price point. My reservations are in regard to all the reports of...

I haven't flown in a little while and when I went to try and power up my FPV set up today I could not get a picture. I am using a 5.8 system from range video and a gopro, (for now, i know gopros aren't the best for this). When I turn on everything I get black screen with a little static, when I...

Subject says it all. Where can I get a Skyline gimbal controller in the US? Everyone seems to be out of stock. Is this because of the previous issues they had when they were first released. I am using a Av130, should I wait for skylines to come back in stock or go with the hoverfly? Radian is...

Any suggestions on what type of battery I should use for the Av 130 with Skyline gimbal controller? It says its safer to use a source independent of the FC.

I like my f550 frame, but I think it could be lighter. Anyone ever heard of replacing the arms with carbon tubes? I am working on a design for a plastic collar that will hold the arm and the top and bottom plate together. I'm just beginning R&D and wanted to know if anyone heard of any mods...

Hello potential buyer, I am selling my 2 axis belt driven AG-550 Gimbal fully loaded. Great for the Sony NEX series, Cannon 550D or smaller gopro cameras. I have had it a little over a month, works great but I'm ready to upgrade to something that will lift a bigger camera. I have used this...

Hey, so I am switching leads. I have all Deans connectors now and I am fend up on how difficult they can be. They are not that fun to solder, they are not that fun to connect and they suck to disconnect. Before I re-solder all my batteries and quads I was hoping for some input from the...

Hey new to fpv and have what I hope is an easy fix. I am using a 5.8 system form range video.com. When the rx is plugged in I get static, as soon as I power up the tx I lose static and get a "no video" screen in my monitor. I am using a gopro camera for now but it doesn't matter if it's plugged...

So my alti mode seems to have stopped working on my f550. I re-calibrated the TX, Reset all the settings in the TX and still with no luck. I was flying inside so it was not a wind issue but the f550 seems to drop a few feet then continue to slowly lower itself. Tried adjusting some alti gains...
