    Herky-Jerky WKM during RTH

    Once you resolve the RTH bucking issue after setting Basic and Attitude gains back to inhibit, take your MR back to the workbench and using WKM Assitant, try setting new gain parameters using X2 for RC Xmitter remote tuning control and see if RTH works without the bucking bronco effect.

    Herky-Jerky WKM during RTH

    When changing back from gimbal control to gain control using X2, something can go wrong with the MR control system but only in RTH causing oscillations. UAVProducts seems to know about this and how to fix it. The fix is to return the Basic and Attitude gains control from X2 to INH, i.e...

    Herky-Jerky WKM during RTH

    Problem is solved..... thanks all for your input/help.... My MR is now functioning 100% including RTH without any bucking during the return home..... I stepped off the forum and posted a help request to UAVProducts USA where I bought my WKM. Here is Robert Remund's response.... "You have to...

    Attitude status bad!! 3 white flashes in all conditions!!

    Who is your DJI dealer? What firmware is installed? MR (MultiRotor) behaviour could be a firmware issue. Note that the MR LED colors will not appear correctly when viewed from steep angles..... a purple flashing LED may appear to be white from ground level depending on azimuth angle. Configure...

    Herky-Jerky WKM during RTH

    I also have GCS and do not want to compromise flight safety or increase wear and tear on the MR motors etc. when the "herky-jerky" kicks in...... must solve this problem or cannot use GCS as intended...... So far there have been several solutions proposed: a) Do not configure X2 for remote gain...

    Silicone Wire

    Good information...... I believe you mean you would never use solid core for MRs but would use high strand count silver plated military spec copper wire for MRs since this is designed for avionics where vibration can still occur.

    Naza and S-Bus Question.

    This is not a DJI Naza or Wkm issue. It's jittery because of a RC transmitter configuration issue..... your TX parameters are set to close to the edge...... please go to Jon Desjardin's Youtube videos on this topic.... look for Futaba setup1 and setup2......

    Herky-Jerky WKM during RTH

    Thank you for some good feedback.... now I have some faith that it may not get worse...... Worked through every possible RC transmitter and WKM Assistant configuration on the bench but no improvements at all on subsequent test flight.... I am hoping to re-install 5.20 firmware to see if that...

When RTH is switch activated, the MR bucks like a bronco will returning to home..... this bucking continues...

    450/550 Flyers - Share your Landing Gear and Landing Gear/Gimbal setups

    No reason to be embarrassed... That strategy is, by far, superior to most that I have seen..... a) minimum weight increase but excellent strength using carbon fiber. b) money saved for more important accessories.

    Silicone Wire

    You are correct re: the 99.99% oxygen free copper wires sold to audiophiles is a waste of money. Please see diagram or figure 3 in the attached article.... http://www.copper.org/publications/newsletters/innovations/1997/12/wiremetallurgy.html While oxygen can be added to help gas off any...

    Cannot get naza to arm motors please help

    Did you take note of your battery voltage level protection settings before the firmware upgrade? Firmware upgrades erase or overwrite previous settings such as these.... Also you must have a blue bar appear as shown in the Assitant software manual when you select manual, attitude of GPS...

    Futaba or Hitec or who?? Need HELP picking a radio to support GPS RETURN TO HOME NAZA

    IMHO - The Futaba 8FG Super is an excellent choice..... Configuration using s.bus is easy with the R6208SB Futaba receiver..... see Jon DesJardins Youtube videos on that. But if you go with less than an 8 channnel receiver you might face some extra challenges with configuring failsafe modes as...

    Mikrokopter Datalink Single Waypoint + Joystick Anyone tried this?

    Older joysticks c/w USB may not work correctly. I had to order the one shown in the DJI GCS manual which I have been told works 100%. It will work well in simulation mode but not sure how often one would require to use it in GCS real flight mode since the main point of GCS is to upload a...

    F550 Hex Arm airflow restriction

    FLYS WELL BUT!!! What is the consensus on using 3rd party MR arm extension such as those appearing in the photo below. There can be no airflow through the end of air attachment point. So I suspect there will be a significant loss of thrust on each arm due to the extra airflow restriction. I am...

    Needing clarification on WKM Waypoint c/w datalink

    khardi....hover.ch can likely give you more complete and/or better answers but IMHO.... If both radio systems are frequency hopping spread spectrum it is conceivable that they will workaround each other as that is the intent of fhss. However when one transmitter is more powerful and/or it's...
