    Need long flight times

    Tarot 2d gimbal draws a max of 1 amp. I lost 1:30 adding it. I los 1:00 adding the gopro, mini osd, and boscam 5.8 ghz vtx. Then the landing gear took 1 minute off as well so my total lost time was 3:30 seconds.

    What Graupner to use?

    9.5 you have to ream the hole out it's not all drilled through. The 10 inch ones have an 8mm hole in the shaft so they fit right on no mods needed. I've flown both (they're the same) I use a lion power 4s lipo which is 10400 mah and I get 15 minutes in 16 km/h winds. I was happy with it I was...

    How to run multiple batteries on a quad

    I've done 2 packs before you just buy the wire or make a conector or wire and hook them up. Make sure they're both at the same level or bad things can happen. I found that the voltage sensor can be a little off if you pair the packs ie you can't blindly tust it. If 1 pack fails in flight you got...

    Prop balancing question

    Well you have a few choices... Sand the whole blade top and bottom works fine for plastic props. You can also sand the trailing edge the side that doesn't cut into the wind. If you sand the side that cuts into the wind you lose effecancy as it changes the lift abilty the most important part of...

    Best FPV Frame?

    I like the hoverbot HB8 frame that sucker is rock solid I've seen it take massive noise dives into the ground trees ect still standing. Other frames they went crunch. The difference is it's all carbonfiber or g10. http://hoverbotfpv.com/ Build it like a F450 and you got a decent fpv flyer...

    My F550 turn off in the air and crash

    The naza has a auto shut off feature once it hits that limit it turns off. I disabled IMC Imediate cut out because it does that I set mine so it will come down but won't turn off till it crashs into something (props stop spinning) or I cut it. I did that to prevent it from falling once you lose...

    Ok I just got back from flying in 16 Km/H wind I got 16 minutes of flight and that was moving around and doing things up down foward back ect not just hovering. I hovered for a while to see what sort of drop in voltage I would get it sure goes down slow. It's impressive for the weight I run 2...

    Wookong M Post Crash Considerations

    Best FPV Frame?

    I like the Hoverbot HB8 frame. You can set it up as an H quad or an X because you can adjust the arms it also folds up which is nice. The size of the motors are your choice so it's built to what you want. You can use 8, 10, 11, or even 12 inch props if you want. That's what I'm going to buy for...

    Hexacopter flew away/disappereared

    The home location if locked might just land if the battery is low. Which is why you should always do the far away stuff right away. If it's to low home location means nothing.

    Hexacopter flew away/disappereared

    If you take off in altitude or manual mode the home location isn't set. If you fly in altitude mode it forgets it's homelocation and sets it to the last one if you goto gps 100m away I thinks that's the home location it will land if it only has x amount of power. Its a finiky system but if you...
