    Naza Lite - faulty or just not very good?

    I have 7 Naza Lite's flying perfectly, in different rigs, from mini 250's to a 550 hex. However, my last 2 Naza Lite's have been giving me all kinds of problems. Yes, on these last 2, I've had some of the same problems you describe. Nose over in forward flight, OK, but pull back, and only goes...

    Aeronavics / Droidworx Total newbie just inherited a mildly crashed SkyJib-8

    You got a deal for free. The wookong setup cost over 1K new. Maybe it's still working. If you find someone with a similar rig, they'd probably snap it up, for spare parts. Those things are interesting, but sort of purpose built, and way out of my league. I could afford to own one, but I'd have a...

    Lumenier power dist board

    Just a news flash. I just fried the power distribution board on my QAV250. And with only a 3C pack. The foil is very thin. Noticed the smell when I landed. Replaced with a PDB from Paul. All is well.:tennis:

    Need help trying to learn the basics

    I'd recommend one of the earlier Phantoms, like version 1.1.1 Fairly cheap, uses common batteries found everywhere, parts are cheap and getting cheaper as the newer models roll out, and practically fly's it's self. When you get good in GPS and att mode, then you can try manual for a real...

    Finally a fly away for me

    I believe that there are a whole lot of people out there, that do not know about the "second" set of green flashing lights!

    Moved GPS antenna, GPS is drifting badly

    I guess I still don't understand Naza, although I have several flying fine. But I too, at first thought that the setting in Naza was for the position of the GPS puck. BUT, I now believe it is the MC/flight controller itself, not the "puck". And to get the best results, the MC (motor controller)...

    Issue with altitude hold at mid throttle

    Yea, someone screwed the pooch on that camera. It does do pretty good recording. And on mine, when I watch the video recorded, going by the motor noise, and the attitude of the quad, there doesn't seem to be any lag at all. BUT, the video out is severely delayed. I'm hoping they will come up...

    Issue with altitude hold at mid throttle

    You are not going to like that Fatshark pilot camera for FPV. Way too much latency. I think they just got things crossed at the factory. As they don't seem to have the latency on the recording to SD card, but the video out is very delayed. You might try some 2 blade props and see if there's a...

    Issue with altitude hold at mid throttle

    If it hovers at 60% in manual, then there is nothing wrong with the Naza wanting to do the same. (In my opinion). props? all up weight? battery size? motor kv? all of these have an effect on how much throttle it takes to hover. Naza will not correct a miss matched setup, again, (in my...

    High Idle Cutoff---------HELP!!!

    I have run into this problem before, and have not really found a solution, "yet". You can try moving the start up speed in the Naza assistant, to it's lowest position. The cutting off after a few seconds, is normal. Once you give it some throttle, and hover, it will change some. I've got a...

    Hello form the South.....deep south

    The mini's are a lot of fun. And they make anything larger seem like a flying tank, in comparison. Ummm CNC mill, you lucky dog. Pictures please.:tennis:

    Advice upgrading from 3S - 4S on Custom Frame

    It's official, "you are hooked" I might have suggested trying a 4cell battery first, before ordering anything. Run/fly it for a couple minutes, then check the temp of the motors and ESC's. Just feel with your hand, nothing special needed. If they are HOT, meaning you can't hold onto them for...

    Anyone else built a 250 size hi performance FPV quad?

    Oh, been through about a dozen props in a week, so I'm flyin OK! Luv these mini's. Took my 550 hex out yesterday, and dusted it off. What a difference, after having been flying 250's for weeks!

    What would cause this issue?

    Naw, I see the problem. You were waaay too close to that airplane pulling the banner, and the FAA shot you down with a laser burst from an orbiting satellite.

    F550 NAZA V2 rolls right on take off

    Could be just ground effect too. I know it's scarry, especially when you're not sure everything is set right. All my quads need at least a foot or two off the ground, before they settle out. Especially the little 250's. Mine almost always lean one way or the other, on lift-off, or as it usually...

    Understanding Lithium Polymer batteries

    The 450mh pack I had go up in smoke, was the first time I've experienced a lipo going off. Really a strange thing. My bench was covered with stuff, jumper cables, parts, etc. etc. When the thing first started, I heard a "hissing" sound, and smelled a chemical odor. And not a stink, but kinda a...

    Motors acting up when I put a prop on. Why?

    Just guessing, but maybe something to do with the "start" setting on the ESC's. Some have "soft", "normal", and "hard" start. It still amazes me how some of these components work well together, while other combinations can be a real PITA. I've got one bothering me now, with too high of a "arm"...
