    State of Readyness

    I charge my lipo's after flying, and store them in a steel ammo box. Haven't had any problems at all. Only packs that have given problems, are ones that I flew way too low, puffed, hot, never the same again.

    Mikrokopter GPS Question

    From what I've read, "IF" you are in an open area, and have 6 or more satellites "locked in", taking off in GPS should be no problem. Problem happens when not enough sats, or, on and off sats can confuse the MC, and make it think it was moved around after the initial warm up and GPS lock. It...

    My first "Crash"

    So the one motor acts strange on "activation", have you tried giving it some more throttle to see if that motor picks up? If it's only at "activation" you can check to see if the motor idle setting in the assistant software is in the middle "recommended" The motor seems to act OK on the test...

    NAZA-M Lite First Flight Problems

    One thing I noticed, looking at your pics, I'd turn off the gimble and the voltage protection, and IOC, for now. I don't know how these would cause the problem you're having, but you need to keep it simple, until you get her flying right. You also have to get that "U" channel on your radio set...

    NAZA-M Lite First Flight Problems

    Yes, usually when I have a Naza Lite that won't fly "out of the box" so to speak, it's usually a wire or more plugged into the wrong slot, and or calibration. And you might want to do your tests on the grass, would be easier on the props, until you get it figured out.

    NAZA help please I'm stuck and frustrated.

    I wouldn't be blaming anything right off the bat. I know after all this time, getting parts, and putting everything together, you just can't wait to get it in the air. However, at least with my 65 year old self, there is a learning curve, and a lot of wires to hook up, and...

    2 stupid? questions

    Thanks Guys, was just some idle thoughts. I'm lazy and old, so I prefer Naza's for just poo pooing around my yard. I turn off the voltage warning on my Naza's, and I need to get a splitter for my balance connector so I can plug in a regulator and my warning buzzer. And yes, I do occasionally...

    2 stupid? questions

    Hi all, don't beat me, just sittin around, pondering the universe so to speak. 1. I think just about any video TX or RX comes with a "dipole" antenna, which everybody says are worthless. I know I have a whole fist full. So then why are most all our radios either have a "dipole" or no exposed...

    FPV monitor setup?

    I've also wondered if when the monitor is mounted to the radio, if there is any interference. Sorta looks like the monitor blocks the transmitter antenna.

    FPV monitor setup?

    I've tried 2 different mounts for my 7" Black Pearl on my Spektrum DX8, and neither were worth the price of shipping. Flimsy, in the way of switches, etc. etc. Still looking, but I won't order another unless I get to hold it in my hand first. And those "trays" just look too bulky for me. Mean...

    Another CAA Conviction in the UK

    I know, I'm sorry. I am in the US, and a hermit. I am just sick and tired of some gobment "A" hole telling me what I can, and can't do, when I'm not bothering a soul. Guess it's time for my medication. Ha!;)

    Another CAA Conviction in the UK

    I still fail to understand all this BS. More laws, more rules and regulations. Holy cwap, it's as simple as dirt. You do something that causes harm to someone, or someone's property, you pay! The laws are already there. If I walk next door, and poke my neighbor in the eye with my finger, are...
