    Any power line EMI Guru's out there??

    To answer your question IMHO, the helicopter acts as a large van degraaf electrostatic generator and needs a voltage discharge path so that the workers can step off the helicopter and on to the powerlines without a severe electrostatic shock which could know them out and/or lead to a fall. The...

    Alexmos Simple BGC from CSGShop

    Actually these have been evolving quickly. Originals came out as kits, then manufacturer/distributor enhanced them by having most pin assemblies installed before shipment, then they added some pluggable connectors and now there is the ARMBGC which simply has all the connectors and cables...

    Prop Talk, APC's 14 vs 15s flight performance.

    IMHO Of the PID parameters, the I and D for the WKM are contained in the advanced tuning section. P - proportional is the only parameter configurable from the Basic and Attitude tuning sections. And there are no options to tune a separate RTH PID loop.

    COG x,y,z It is imperative that you keep the center of gravity with respect to x and y values at the center of your Multirotor.... or some of your motors will be working harder and burn out faster etc. You can shift the z value up and down in accordance with the weight and position of your...

    a newbie looking for a copter for professional gopro filming

    If one has the IOC functioning properly.... switch it to Home lock mode.......even if the MR is constantly spinning...... a pull back on the stick will bring it back to you.... Also some of the less expensive park flyer RC radio systems will not have the range you might expect.

    a newbie looking for a copter for professional gopro filming

    Buy Sunnysky motors........ absolutely nothing wrong with the DJI NAZA........ but all RC receivers, MR controller and their sensors are prone to big issues where there is vibration including fly aways... But the biggest reason is a failure to configure the RC radio system to correctly...

    S800 Return to Home won't work.

    EastCoatJib....... thx 4 the valuable tip...... couldn't understand why RTH did not work for me last night..... I had moved the IMU forward and down onto the antivibe mounting position and therefore had to change the x,y,z for IMU position. Seems to me though that a small change in flying field...

    2013 MRF Flight Control Assessment

    You might be able to call up the specs on the 50 ohm coax of choice to determine dB loss per foot but most of the dB loss occurs at each connector (the fewer the better). Best also to put heatshrink over the connectors as the insulator between the center wire and the shield typically absorbs...

    Confusion about 3 versions of NAZA

    Correct me if I am wrong but here is how I understand the recent addition of not one but two new NAZA controllers..... 1) The original NAZA M-GPS can be considered as V1 (version 1) which is easily firmware upgraded to full V2 functionality. 2) All V2 peripherals are completely compatible with...
