    Naza gimble

    Yes as long as your Radio Control system has enough channels as required by NAZA for all the ouputs. It's all in the manual...... see the diagram/schematic of all the connections.

    Replacement 8 channel receiver for Futaba 8FG Super

    Has anyone tried to use the following receiver as a replacement for the Futaba R6208SB receiver with Naza or WKM using s.bus? Also will it bind the the Futaba 8FG Super transmitter? http://www.alofthobbies.com/frsky-tfr8sb-8-channel-fasst-receiver-s-bus.html

    Futaba 8FG w/ R6208SB

    Kloner.... I was just about to purchase a FASST comaptible receiver from Frsky.... then I read your comment below...... I would have been really disappointed to discover upon setup that I could not get it to bidn with my Futaba 8FG Super transmitter...... Can't understand why they don't mention...

    Futaba 12FG and Naza failsafe

    I ran in to this same issue when I switched out my 8 channel R6208 for the older R617FS 7 channel..... On page 64 of the Futaba 8FG Super manual, there is a statement... FASST 7CH CH3 only..... This seems to suggest some loss of functionality such that a work around is required. Swapping...

    RTF to reverse engineer

    I just switched my F550 Naza Futaba receiver over to the same R617FS..... had everything working 100% using the previous 8 channel R6208 using s.bus...... My challenge now is to get the fail safe working when I turn off the transmitter using the R617FS..... In reviewing the RC system manual for...

    Theory behind upward angled arms / Booms and inclined motors

    These comments seem to make a lot of sense, i.e., inherent mechanical stability precludes added electronic stability etc. And there is always a tradeoff between performance and stability as suggested abovre. But there might be other reasons. Is it possible that the dihedral or tip washout also...

    NAZA Assistant Calibration with RC Transmitter.

    I am moving my s.bus Futaba receiver over to my new WKM. So I will now do another test using my Futaba 7 channel receiver which does not have s.bus..... Calibrations results using individual channel inputs will help to determine if the issue is specific to s.bus and related factors or not.

    Wookong Woes

    Those doing aerial video work will get a much smoother video in attitude versus GPS mode. RTH requires the MR to switch into GPS mode for the return flight path. If there are any inflight center of gravity, joystick trimming and/or calibration issues such as angle of declination errors combined...

    DJI Ground Station

    Good info but What do you mean by record a screencast? Are you saying I should video record the screen or have DJI GCS software record the sim flight into a database that I can open later? If so, how?

    NAZA Assistant Calibration with RC Transmitter.

    The original issue was that the aileron trim kept drifting following bench calibration with NAZA assitant and my RC radio system, i.e., Futaba with s.bus used. By the end of the first or 2nd flight I had to trim the MR in the air significantly to the port side to have the MR remain stationary...

    Any DJI Ground Station experts?

    Tahoe Ed....... You can probably pick up a magnetic roof mount whip antenna for 900 Mhz spectrum c/w long 50 ohm coax to connect directly to your GCS radio, mount on a van vehicle roof and extend your range significantly! The antennas that come with these units are entry level with lots of room...

    WKM / Ground Station Poll

    Both the DJI products and the German Mikrokopter products have very significant communication challenges. MikroKopter relies on 3rd parties to attempt to translate to English for them and it remains a struggle. The Chinese DJI people make an effort to speak and write in English but we see there...

    WKM / Ground Station Poll

    Primary control is to select a waypoint to go to by means of the keyboard and graphics. When you are satisfied with the go to point, you can upload the instructions to the MR and it will fly in automatic mode and/or you can tell it to go home and it will do all that and safely land in automatic...

    DJI Zenmuse gimbal for Gopro

    73 grams for the GoPro and ????? for the aluminum gimbal system....... still better than carrying a larger/heavier camera however. Maybe someone could switch some of the parts over to carbon fiber plate and bar material to get the weight down some more.

    Needing clarification on WKM Waypoint c/w datalink

    But do I really need my Futaba RC system connected as well? Seems that the 900Mhz datalink with GCS is all that I require for the complete flight if I understand the documentation correctly?

    WKM GCS Single Waypoint Software use

    I saw a comment on a YouTube video indicating that the Joystick does not work with GCS in actual flight mode. Hope that comment is not true as I just ordered a new Logitech Extreme 3D Pro specifically for flying (anyone can get by with keyboard controls for simulation). Real flying with keyboard...

    WKM / Ground Station Poll

    Great idea to poll users of GCS. Experienced users will probably find it does the job and they are ok with it. New users will be struggling and fighting with it for many hours w/o strong dealer support. I foresee tremendous risk in flying with GCS without a thorough and complete understanding of...

    WKM GCS Single Waypoint Software use

    VINF550.... Are you able to get all inputs working correctly with your Logitech Extreme 3D Pro? I have the earlier Logitech Wingman joystick and even tried to load the newer Extreme 3D pro driver.... but can't get all 4 analog inputs to work, i.e., Elevator and Roll will work but I have issues...

    Any DJI Ground Station experts?

    Considering that the Logitech Extreme 3D Pro has been removed from retailers shelves and it is very difficult to find a 3rd party RC buddy box system that will work with the existing GCS software, it appears DJI has decided to move forward as best they can with the IPad/iPhone way of doing...
