    DJI Zenmuse gimbal and S800 Spreading Wings preorder

    It was pretty wet. It was more a drizzle then a down pour. It would be pretty hard for the sec's to get wet under the motors. They are very well protected. I seem to be the guy that tests everything to its max. I'm hard on everything. I usually can find the breaking point of things. :)

    DJI Zenmuse gimbal and S800 Spreading Wings preorder

    Charger put back 3476 mah for 10 min flight. So the math at that payload would give 23 mins of flight time with still saving 20% in the packs (using 8000mah). I really need the rain to stop. :(

    DJI Zenmuse gimbal and S800 Spreading Wings preorder

    10min flight this morning in the Rain. 6s, 10000mah packs. 10 mins only burned 43% of each pack. That is what the charger says, I'll figure out exact mah put back in when they are charged. My poor S800 is very wet from the rain, oh well, testing continues. The dihedral I can feel...

    DJI Zenmuse gimbal and S800 Spreading Wings preorder

    It fly's nice. :) Flew it on 6s 5000mah x 2 for 6s 10,000mah. Lifts that like nothing. Still fine tuning the gains. Its very cloudy and rainy today (go figure). Dihedral design is cool. Feels very stable and responsive. Have some work to do then will do some more flights if the weather...

    DJI Zenmuse gimbal and S800 Spreading Wings preorder

    Its done!!! WKM installed, S800 and landing gear is built (if you call it that). soldering a connector on it and checking software and then first test flights. Overall, very impressed. Well designed. I shot some video of the build but I hate doing build videos. :) Weights: Hexa with wkm, no...

    DJI Zenmuse gimbal and S800 Spreading Wings preorder

    The only issue is that by Mid May I hear the Waypoint will be banned by FAA. Of course, this is "what I hear" and "Faa" in the same sentence so I'm sure that means nothing. :)

    F550 with Avrotos?

    No, larger bolt pattern on the Avroto's. I guess you could drill the holes out on the flamewheel arms but these adaptive plates are very nice. I'm still not sure on the benefit of Avrotos on the flamewheel just yet til I test the combo out. And no there will not be a pre order Patrick. Get...

    F550 with Avrotos?

    AVRoto motors all come from Jim at montorc.com He is shipping them to all the dealers on Tuesday we have been told. I do have some very nice CNC adapter plates for the AVRoto to Flamewheel that we are testing. Also, we have some flamewheel arm extenders that will allow for much larger props...

    Exactly, then you get into the whole weight of the props with effects on inertia etc..

    DJI F550 which replacement props?

    Yes, I switched over from DJI 10" to Graupner 10". This is on a F550 with the Av130 (soon to have the RSGS I'll pick up at NAB next week). With the Graupners its much quieter, smoother and the DJI motors come down cold to the touch. I had no issues with the DJI 10" props besides the motors...

    SKYJIB 8 & DJI setup advice!

    I agree that higher RPM seems to work better with DJI WKM. I "think" it all has to do with the ability to make changes quickly. Big props take longer to speed up or slow down. That's my 2 cents.
