    Spectrum Analysers in UK

    I had heard that that safety cases for >7kg were very very difficult to establish nowadays. That should change around October when the >7kg advisories are expected to he published.

    Spectrum Analysers in UK

    Thats the limiting factor. As a starting point, a check from your tx location will at least tell you if your tx signal is being swamped by environmental rf noise from its location. Going from there, in a particularly dense congested area, you could go as far as sampling around the site, even to...

    Forum members - What's the face behind the user name?

    I'll second that. My Droidworx xm6 was built by Eyeball and is a very polished build.

    DJI wookong connecting to gimbal HELP

    There are far more experienced flyers on here than me but as no one has answered yet I'll add my limited info: Yes, the WKM F1/F2 ports can provide control signals for tilt and roll control on standard servos BUT *only on a hex or less * If its on an Octo all ports are used for motor control...

    How many of you are using firmware 5.26 on WKM successfully?

    Thanks Flylite. It's good to know that 5.26 isn't ruining everyone's flying.

    Failsafe (yet again)

    As I said earlier... I'm always ready to learn... There certainly does seem to be a school of thought that manual mode is THE way to recover from problems... I may have to review my opinion on this one and get those manual flying skills improved :-)

    Naza-M V2 will not arm

    np. Glad to be of help. That was a tip given to me by a real Pro who knew I would fall into that trap ;-)

    Failsafe (yet again)

    I've avoided manual mode on the commercial rig so far. I've flown manual on the Phantom a number of times without mishap which I must admit is great fun but I think too risky for my level of flight skills on an expensive rig.

    Failsafe (yet again)

    If I lose GPS, can't I just switch to Atti to maintain control? Assuming that flyaways are mainly caused by GPS issues. If it's loss of tx or interference then manual mode is also not going to be much help... or is it?. . . I'm always ready to learn ...

    Failsafe (yet again)

    This is my understanding of this... If I am incorrect, please please point it out! This topic is too important for any lack of understanding:- Loss of signal failsafe will use the receiver failsafe throttle setting you set when binding your tx. i.e if your tx is set to 50% when you bind your...

    Hexacopter lurchs left on take off then moves left on its own?

    Thanks for posting the cause of the problem here. I'm going to add a check for controls values to my pre flight check list.

    GoPro 3+ What video settings work best for you?

    i've just read the last post again.. You may well be correct in that it is only necessary to stop the recording, not power off the gopro. I'll check that myself when I next fly.

    GoPro 3+ What video settings work best for you?

    I had the issue with corrupt recordings a few times. I did a search and found that powering off the P2 battery seemed to power off the gopro immediately without closing the files properly. Powering off the gopro first before the P2 battery does seem to have solved the problem. Yes. the 3+ is...

    GoPro 3+ What video settings work best for you?

    You need to power off the GoPro from its power button to ensure the clip is saved to the microSD card.

    Radian to G-LOCK video

    Hi Dave. It was good to meet you at the workshop last Friday. I've just upgraded a single Radian to G-LOCK with a signalmaster on an AV130 using the the original servo's. I need to adjust the settings to get the servo's responding correctly. I've installed the default config file but find the...
