I'm having a minor issue with yaw. Question: Does your drift stop? Or does your drift continue forever until you bring it back. Let it drift and see if it stops drifting.

I can't address issues with the s-bus because I'm using a DX8. My scratch F450 is new and flies great also. Before it's 1st flight I had the top plate off and was fooling around with calibrating the esc's when I discovered that two of the leads from the receiver were plugged into the wrong...

I recommend the aerialmediapros heavy lift upgrade kit that ProPilotWannaBe suggested. I have it on my F450 and it flies very strong and stable. It's still in the noobie testing days and it hasn't carried a load as yet but I'm speculating it's a stronger lifter than the stock F550. 11x5 props...

Your AR8000 receiver has to be set up in a specific way for automatic failsafe to work the way you want. This link might be of help: http://www.rcgroups.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1789552 Scroll down a bit. The receiver itself signals Naza to go into failsafe when it senses communication is...

I agree with Carapau that your craft seems to be working okay. Last Sunday I tested RTH on my new quad 4 times and it worked beautifully. I initiated RTH when the quad was 300 ft. away. Difference is that my craft didn't pause to hover before touching down. It landed directly and gently and...

I enjoyed your video. I could see that you had great fun flying it around all different ways and then afterward seeing what the camera recorded. I predict my own first video will not look any better but worse. My first build will just have a GoPro slapped on it with a jello reducing cable...

I like it. It came out while I was still building and I've never taken off any other way. It's predictable. I can still take off in manual if I choose. For whatever reason. If I do then I can get a feel for the differences between the old and new ways. Assisted takeoff gives me some...

I think that's key. Course lock is more important than home lock. Home lock only resets your craft's position to a new location different from where it was when you first powered up the craft. Some people have reset home point to be in midair and then played seeing what would happen. Leave...

At one point in my testing I set it to hover just above head height and I wanted to try one of those tricks you see in videos. I grasped one landing leg and began pulling it as I walked away. The quad is powerful. It began fighting my effort right away. It was really hard to pull. Three...

I remaidend my craft yesterday with a new gps unit. It flew great. I grasped it and tried to pull it away and it fought me. The effort to pull it away was so much that it started shaking and I had to let go of it. It shot right back into the position it was before and stayed. It was windy...

No need to answer, Bruce. I did everything you said to do and the craft tests better than it did before. I reset my throttle ending in the TX and tested. The CSC arming works like it should and I even seem to notice a higher power available in gph to be able to ascend more. Changing to...

Hi again. Today I flew my craft and ran out two battery packs. It flew beautifully. I mainly wanted to find out the flight times. It was 15 minutes. I flew it at a place I never visited before and two experienced multirotor pilots examined my craft and were impressed with how well it flew...

Hi again, Bruce. Your advice was spot on. I was completely frustrated but didn't give up. I just had to study the DX8 and teach myself how to adjust the throttle endpoint. In the DX8 it's under servo setup. I put it at -120 per your recommendation. But I wasn't finished with the matter. I...

Thanks Bruce. I already studied the threads that you sent me a link to. I'm going to have to completely disassemble my quad, install new esc's and start over again. I don't know how to increase throttle settings in my DX8. It's too much for me to learn now. Trapper at TBS gave it a name...

Hi, I fixed my F450, replaced the bad gps module and I was looking forward to flying again. Then I remembered something. I had never throttle calibrated the esc's. Naza M V1 with 3.12 fw and Maytech 40 amp esc's preflashed with SimonK. The quad flew well with 3.12 from the start. In tests...

The little GPS pucks with a cable are all the same. You can trust me because I'm always right, and I never lie. :highly_amused: Best, Rob

Yes. The GPS module is the same for all the FC platforms. The GPS module design hasn't changed as far as I know. Except the letter coloring on it has changed from red to orange. My old GPS puck unit went bad and that was proved. Tuesday I put a brand new orange GPS puck on my craft and it...

The GPS performance for the V2 and the Lite ought to be exactly the same. They both use the same GPS module. There is no GPS in the flight controller. The FC only recognizes if a GPS module is attached or not.

My opinion is mixed. On the one hand I say get the lite and save the money. On the other hand I learned to get the best one can afford if the thing has expandability room for the future. That can save money too but over the long run. For instant gratification get the lite. The...
