    Shake during forward flight

    How does one configure NAZA controller via Assistant to accomodate four motors that do not have equal angular spacing and a common circle center point? And yet many are able to fly TBS with NAZA without IMU related issues........ Meanwhile WKM allows for custom motor layouts such as...

    GPS Offset - but why?

    IMHO - I do believe a few centimeters difference between the compass heading and the Naza controller IMU placement makes a considerable difference with MR compass headings which are used in conjunction with GPS headings. Kalman filtering applies to IMU functions only which means it applies to...

    RC Timer S800 clone

    Wishing you the best with the RCT800..... also please keep in mind that the distance between the top and bottom plate is less such that only the IMU will not fit between the two.

    RC Timer S800 clone

    I have the complete RCT800 which includes both arms and plates and yes, the plates are identical to the DJI F550 having the power distribution built-in....... only the tradmark/namebrand is different. Also I added the clone S800 landing gear which is also identical to the original DJI landing...

    For the Naza & Gps experts

    I thought the rapid green led blinks after about 30 seconds (while still on the ground) indicates that IOC has become available...... it's in the manual somewhere. Of course if you disable IOC configuration while in Naza Assistant, the rapid green LED blinks will not happen.

    WKM - Manaul Mode

    Can't answer that question but have one for you..... why would you want to adjust dual rate and/or exponential? It seems quite docile even in manual mode relative to the F550 etc. (probably because of the longer arms) unless you are trying to do aerobatics.

    Need some help selecting a propeller and need to know where to get them...

    Can one replace the Turnigy NTM bearings with really good quality ones? If so, what should I be looking for?

    Aerobatic manuvoures

    Thanks for that info...... Warthox must have variable pitch..... can't think of any other possibilities.

    Ultimate Thread Drift Thread, 2013

    Looks like Graupner Germany has gone into bankruptcy, was bought up by another company but they in turn dropped most of the products including the Graupner E-props. Graupner 9 and 10 inch props are extremely hard to get now if at all. So...... if not for the Asian clones of this excellent prop...

    Multirotor flying in AIAA?

    Talk to individuals in your country involved with the hobby/sport of High Power Rocketry. They are very familiar with the regulations related to flying to altitudes above and beyond 20,000 feet ASL/MSL. Regulations for lower altitudes flying such as for MRs are much less severe. In general the...

    Herky-Jerky WKM during RTH

    Those that use Naza will recall that remote gain adjust can be controlled via X1 and/or X2. But remote gain control on WKM allows X2 and/or X3 but not X1......!!! It seems an out-of-bounds X2 value is getting into the Basic or Attitude gain control when switching from gimbal control back to...

    Aerobatic manuvoures

    Rolls and loops are possible but easier to lose altitude fast. No benefit to using collective pitch for MRs since you only require variable pitch with some negative range. Maybe someday!

    Building my first multi, a few questions

    Thats a lot of questions all at once!!! But so many questions just help to demonstrate that this is in fact a task in multi-discipline engineering!!! i.e., Mechanical, Electrical with a bit of aeronautical tossed in for good measure because of the props. ECalc makes an attempt to get past all...

    MRF No Clone Zone??

    I think there may be a terminology issue to resolve here. The proper term for passing off an apparently identical product as the original would be counterfeiting. Anyone who has visited Italy knows that it is very difficult to distinguish between the original sculpture or art piece and the copy...

    icharger 306b and what else?

    I am using the Quattro 4x6 Multicharger by HobbyKing. It has most features and will charge four batteries. One feature that is missing: Battery internal resistance determination. I use a Hyperion charger for that or calculate manually. It is powered by a Dell PowerEdge NPS700AB which I was able...

    Building my first multi, a few questions

    My 2 cents worth. Temperature specs are typically published for each product..... In the case of the DJI NAZA, the lower temp limit is around -10 but -5 for the WKM. But that does not take into account internal heat during operation. A plastic cap over the electronics will also help to retain...

    MRF No Clone Zone??

    So which system is best? Capitalism is one man exploiting another...... Communism is the exact opposite. ;-)

    550 weight and setup question

    When MR weight increases because of: Larger motors, longer props, heavier batteries...... basic & attitude tuning settings move up from F550 recommended settings towards S800 recommended settings (appears in table near end of Naza Manual). In my case, when I upgraded to heavier motors, longer...

    Best Placement for Naza GPS on DJI F550?

    See photos of my Naza and WKM layouts. Naza on the F550 I've changed these layouts multiple times already and continue to change as I add more items.

    Best Placement for Naza GPS on DJI F550?

    This is all according to my personal preference and may not necessarily be the best for all. I prefer to locate the controller and RC receiver between the bottom and top plate (frees up top and bottom for other items. The controller has to be aligned with direction of flight so I like to...
