I have a NAZA 2 which has failsafe feature built in. Now I also have Fr Sky RX/Tx that has its own failsafe feature. Not flown with or set the feature yet. But how does it work if both components have failsafe? To try and answer my own question maybe it is better to have both as a redundancy. If...

Thanks. I milled out completely the raised plastic area. Even leaving a little meant it wouldn't go in fully. This alone didn't sort the lack of rudder movement. I took my 550 top off and re wired all the connections. This sorted out the rudder connection. Final issue of orange lights was simply...

I've been using 9x standard Tx / Rx for a while but have now replace with Frsky module to get more reliable range. Swapping it over has thrown up a few issues. 1. When connected top the assistant 1 of the 4 sticks does not move. 2. Continuous fast orange flashing from the Naza. 3. The module...

Very interesting. What about going up way high above the clouds. I've seen lots on YouTube though so I wonder what the rule is there? It says no more than 400ft, yet lots of rule breaking going on. Do the CAA follow these up?

I'm looking into using my F550 for simple shots at work. I can see this requires qualification, insurance and CAA permissions etc. Regarding the permissions fee it says £113 and renewal is £57. Is this fee for each given location + aircraft for a 1 year period? I wasn't quite sure. Thanks for...

Not sure if this was my fault or a DJI glitch. I was cruising along at about 40m across fields. My OSD said I was 520m away (furthest I've ever been). Suddenly the sticks became unresponsive and the MC continued it's steady flight away from me. About 1 second after losing control it inverted...

..I've just seen that there's now a H3-3D - looks like the answer for removing the twitch. I'm wondering if it allows for pans as a control input, or if the aircraft rudder is used as a pan, will it dampen clumsy moves? Looking forward to seeing some demos of it in action.

I've been using the H3-2D gimbal on a F550 and a Phantom 2. Generally very good at stabilistation but there's a couple of things I'd like that I can't get. 1- Removal of twitchy Yaw / rudder movement. While I'm flying I don' t seem to notice it but when I watch footage later, shots are spoilt...

I got some cheap landing gear recently for an F550 off eBay. Seemed pretty good and light until I slammed it hard a couple of times. Now both semi circle legs have snapped in the middle. Do spares exist for these? I would be happy to carry on using and breaking if the legs only could be...

Hi Bart, No tried adjusting any gains yet but will do when I have the BTU device connected so I can make changes in the field. I actually think the 550 flies OK, has good throttle and lift. It's just that the Phantom was very good too and a lot easier. I had expected it to be more basic and...

I've been flying the Phantom2 and F550 for a few weekends now and getting the hang of things. One thing puzzling me is that the Phantom seems better than the F550. It is lighter and so more agile, it flies easily for 17minutes plus loaded with gimbal, goPro and FPV transmitter. The F550 seems to...

Thanks Ben. Sounds like very wise advice. I know I've been a bit too keen to 'go up and take a look' In theory it was within the park but up high it quickly drifts off limits so will keep it in check until I learn a lot more. That spot you recommend sounds good. I did see it while looking around...

Inexperienced but Impatient to fly I made a few mistakes. Lost my now very expensive F550 with everything on board but happily reunited after 48 hours. I flew in a very strong wind, but it did very well. When the battery ran out I switched to a battery that wasn't fully charged. I was using a...

Living in the UK, I've just looked on eBay U.S. for an idea on cost of batteries there. It seems not a huge difference $170ish each. I'm actually going to D.C. next month. Anyone know if there are walk in stores in D.C / MD to buy Phantom stuff?

That was the big shock I got when unboxing - seeing the proprietary battery, then the price of a spare! £110 ($190) I googled for a hack but haven't seen anything and I'm certainly not expereinced enough to know what I would be doing. I was impressed with battery flight time. I've been flying a...

Very cool and nice setup. I look forward to doing my first FPV soon with the 550. Can I ask about your GPS and how you attach it to the 550? What kind of stick is it that holds it in place? What stops the GPS from rotating around off centre? I have mine held in place so it can't pop off but the...

Recently acquired a DJI GS package which worked just enough to have a play with the settings (didn't get to the field). It kept disconnecting and now won;t connect at all. Red LED on the BTU component. (BTU works fine plugged directly into the NAZA. There is talk elsewhere of a firmware update...

Sounds like a great tip Chipwich. Thanks! Programming that will push the limits of my knowledge but will definitely give it a go. I don't yet have the FPV stage so will be handy. I'm using an er9x Tx system and still learning the principles of programming. Ditto 'servo travel limits' known as...

Thanks. :shame:

I have iOSD mini. Not yet hooked up. Does that also allow for switching between channels or do I need an add on switch? Thanks.
