    Power Supply + Charger for S800

    I am still new to this so bear with me: The S800 comes with 8 - 360watt motors and will use 40A ESCs with power from a 6S Li-Po. With these items in mind I would like to put together a battery charging system starting with a used/surplus server power supply then the appropriate Li-Po...

    Recommended Li-Poly Batteries and Charger/conditioner etc.

    I am building a Flamewheet F550 and have a new Futaba 8FG.... still waiting for my WK-M to arrive. In the meantime I need to purchase Li-Po batteries and appropriate charger/conditioner system. Since I intend to eventually get an S800 it seems to me that I should purchase a battery...

    I'm building an F550 c/w WKM and using a Futaba 8FG..... but am surprised to read your comment that flying manual is a handful! I was expecting this to fly in manual like my MQX which I found extremely easy to fly and land back in my right hand....... Did I miss something here?

    Will WKM MCU accomodate 2 RC systems?

    Thanks Andrew, Please clarify..... Are you saying that the 900Mhz video downlink can be the only radio control system for the WKM such that a conventional RC radio systems would be redundant?

    WKM Optimal RC Radio System

    Thanks Boris and Jes1111......quickly finding my way out of the darkness ;-)... IEEE predicted years ago that microprocessors will continue to migrate into the periheral devices, e.g., servos etc. as a consequence of Moore's law and therefore would require a hardware and software communication...

    Will WKM MCU accomodate 2 RC systems?

    Wookong M accomodate 2 RC systems Thanks.....Good question....which also reveals my oversight! I need to study this more before buying a radio system. Seems Futaba is best way to go with WKM.

    Will WKM MCU accomodate 2 RC systems?

    New to this situation....... seems to me that the optimal setup is to have one person on the ground to manually fly Hexa or Octo copter and another, i.e., videographer/photographer remotely controlling the gimbal via separate Tx and Rx. This seems to suggest the WooKong M MCU would need to...

    WKM Optimal RC Radio System

    I am trying to decide which radio system to purchase of my WKM. Page 9 of the WKM user manual showsboth the S.bus or PPM Receiver direct connection to the WKM Main Controller @ input X2. If I go with a Futaba 8 channel I can use s.bus. But if I go with a radio system such as a 14 channel Futaba...

    DJI F550 and Wookong M - First Setup

    I might be wrong but the term "gain" is one of three terms that has to do with PID feedback loop control in the world of automation. PID stands for Proportional, Integral and Derivative. Proportional is also referred to as "gain", integral is referred to Reset, and Derivative is simply...
