    Flight times anomaly - maybe ?

    Hi Zooks It is not so much aiming for the amount of time I want, as much as I can is of course the answer to that one, but I would really like as much time as I can get flying in attitude mode for obvious reasons, more so because I am almost a beginner as far as MRC's are concerned. I can see...

    Flight times anomaly - maybe ?

    That's interesting mailman, as I would of course prefer to fly in attitude when flying up close to objects or through tighter areas like footpaths and over rivers. Can anyone tell me why I am getting this result, and perhaps what settings I should be using for basic gain and attitude gain (on...

    Odd things happening with F450 + naza

    Very True Jackella, as we discussed on the phone yesterday. However, for the short tether initial training where the tether is only around 6 foot maximum, I don't expect much drop at all. I am going to check out voltage drop today with both lengths and maybe an interim to see what results I...

    Flight times anomaly - maybe ?

    Hi folks I noticed the other day while flying in both Attitude and manual modes that attitude mode drains the Lipo LOADS FASTER than manual mode does ? I assume this is normal, but is there some magic way I can lengthen time in attitude mode. The reason I ask is that I plan to use my F450 to...

    Odd things happening with F450 + naza

    Hi Guys Managed to resolve it after much fiddling about due to my hangar PC having gone down with all my Naza settings etc. Got it all set up on my office PC, discovered I needed to update that copy of the Assistant, then had to install the driver, and finally, got the assistant up with all...

    Odd things happening with F450 + naza

    Hi again guys I am a relative newbie at quads, but with your help I did have it flying, and pretty well at that :02.47-tranquillity: All was well, and a couple of days ago I even braved the elements and tried FPV for the first time with the 450 tied down to a big block of MDF so it could not...

    Problems with brand new F450 + NAZA

    Hi Leet I might consider Windows 7 but I really do not want to pay any more to Mickeysoft. I only use this particular PC in my hangar so it is not backed up much sadly. I will have to redownload the various heli setup programs I use (Helicommand, Alien command, 3G, 3GX, NAZA etc.) The rest of...

    Problems with brand new F450 + NAZA

    Hi Jackella Staining would be just perfect for me, it is only down the road from where I am in south Poulton. We must meet and you can perhaps show me where this land is ? I did not know there was an outside flying club in Kirkham. The Preston heli club met at the high school on Thursday...

    Small camera needs to be mounted on a F450

    All I do to mount those small cameras is to get a piece of styrene sheet and cut it to the relevant width to go across the bottom plate "arm" Then using a soldering iron as a heat source, bend the sheet until you get it into an approximate L shape depending whether you want to look straight...

    Problems with brand new F450 + NAZA

    Hi Jackella No problem, but nice to hear there is another naza owner locally. I have trouble finding decent flying sites around here in Poulton, it's all horses and stuff. I know of quite a good site in Bispham we could possibly meet at ? Whereabouts are you ? Cheers Ian

    Problems with brand new F450 + NAZA

    Hi Lee Thanks for that bit of info, I will check it out, but only after I basically re-install Windoooozzze Vista Business. The day after we got it all up an running, Vista Business took violent exception and apparently decided to wipe out the entire registry !!!! or that is what the BSOD says...

    Problems with brand new F450 + NAZA

    Hi everyone My mate Robbie came over later yesterday afternoon, together with his own 450 NAZA and DX8. We struggles for quite some time, getting the same results as I was seeing, so he suggested we bind HIS radio to my Rx and see what happens. Well, It was much the same and we were getting...

    Problems with brand new F450 + NAZA

    Hi Vinny, Yep I sure did bind the Receiver, I did it before it was connected to the naza gear at all. I have also rebound it several times. I have a friend of mine who is in to quads coming over this afternoon with a spare PMU to try out, so we will see if we are right about it. I think it is...

    Problems with brand new F450 + NAZA

    Well thanks for all the feedback guys, I have already resoldered the red wires (power) but it made no difference at all. However I have made some progress by trying to think laterally. I am now quite firmly of the belief the I have a duff PMU, so working on that premise I decided to connect...

    Problems with brand new F450 + NAZA

    Hi there. Yes I suppose it may indicate a problem from buying cheap, but then everything is in there and seems fine, apart from this one problem... As you say, I am indeed familiar with Check Lists, not that you could call the instructions provided with the kit or NAZA anything close to a...

    Problems with brand new F450 + NAZA

    Hey kloner. bunch of stuff there for sure. Firstly, I do not get even the slightest blip from the LED on the PMU - Zilch - nothing. I have not tried different physical usb ports on the machine, but will do so this morning. As you say, installing drivers over and over can lead to horrors in...

    Problems with brand new F450 + NAZA

    I have just had a very useful PM to tell me where I can buy spare PMU's quite reasonably, so have ordered 2 of the brutes. I am fairly convinced now that this PMU is dead. I have tried every trick in the book to install the driver, but nothing works. I have even done it the hard way from...

    Problems with brand new F450 + NAZA

    Hi Boris Not a one, I have never seen any response from the LED on the PMU. I have even resoldered the PMU connection to the base plate JIC, but I am pretty good at soldering usually. I expected to get some LED activity for sure. Ian
