    Problems with brand new F450 + NAZA

    Hi Geoff Unfortunately I did not buy it from you as I got a great price direct from China of £302 for the whole lot shipped. Sorry about that, but I promise I will buy my other stuff from you in future ! I have tried it with a perfectly good AR6100 as well, and get the same result. If I...

    Problems with brand new F450 + NAZA

    I have tried that in there - both ways around as well but it still makes no difference ?

    Problems with brand new F450 + NAZA

    OK then, here's a raft of pics that show it all (hopefully) Well, that was relatively painless :nevreness: I hope someone may spot something with that lot. I just tried reinstalling that dratted driver again, using the BAT file. This time I got a new hardware window in front of a DOS...

    Problems with brand new F450 + NAZA

    Hi Tomstoy. My full version of Winzip opens the RAR file quite happily, and I have extracted the files to a separate folder (with sub folders etc) The BAT file looks in SOURCE for the EXE strangely. So it looks like my driver is not installed then ? Will try again to get it to behave...

    Problems with brand new F450 + NAZA

    *** Ok guys, a sort of mass reply here *** Maybe a thought here. My software has the MCOUTPUT- ON and flashing ?? is that what it should do ? As to the driver installation, I still have no idea if it is or is not installed, I have tried the EXE file, the BAT file (after reading it) and even the...

    Problems with brand new F450 + NAZA

    By PMU do you mean the black unit with the USB port on it and an LED. If so it is soldered to the base plate with the main power supply take off cables, and they are providing power for sure ? Just looking at some other threads and found this answer from you :- you have to cut all the red...

    Problems with brand new F450 + NAZA

    OK, I am a newbie to MRC's, but I do understand wiring, radio binding and setup, and all the other things a long standing helicopter pilot would know, but my brand new F450 + NAZA has got me beat right now ? Basically, I have just build the F450 - no problems, done all the wiring as per the...

    Before you buy, please read this

    Geoff It is great that you are able to catch newbies BEFORE they buy something inappropriate, and point them to these formus, but as Dewster says, he did not realise the forums were around. He was better than some in that he did some research, but as he says it was not helpful and proved costly...

    Before you buy, please read this

    Whilst I agree in principal with most of the stuff in this thread, there is one small problem that nobody has covered, and that is how you get these "newbies" to even know that sites like this exist, much less join them and ask questions. I have spent much time on forums like Heliguy answering...

    Spectrum Recievers

    The worst problem is the Tx, as they cost so much more for multi spare channels !

    Spectrum Recievers

    Hey Jeff As you have a Go-Pro and presumably a decent 2 axis gimbal, you may want to control the camera via the radio. You may also want to control other items such as lighting so it is always best to get an Rx that the most channels your Tx can provide , in your case - 8. You dont NEED them...

    God bless Red 4 of the RAF Red Arrows

    Hi Ross Yes we did get a couple, but not of good quality as I was in the back letting my wife have her first ever helicopter ride in the right hand seat. Still I will never forget that site, the pilots even waived to us.!!!!!! I started flying as an RAF cadet at School via a flying scholarship...

    British MR fliers UNITE

    Glad to hear I am on the list Dave... I fly anywhere it is legal around the Poulton Le Fylde area. I prefer not to fly at clubs as they tend to be rather limiting, especially when you mix planks and helis. I dread to think what might happen if I turned up with a quad, or worst yet, wanted to...

    God bless Red 4 of the RAF Red Arrows

    Hi Ross Yes, it is a great shame that we will not see Diamond 10 and other "mass" formations again, it was one of the things that set the Arrows apart from other display teams. I also am going down into the "dark side" of MRC strictly because I just love the FPV systems that are now available...

    Hard to explain drift issue causing machine to fly out of control

    I am no expert at MRC's but I have a lot of heli background time. This may be a suggestion that will be derided, but looking at the wiring, I can see several cases where wires are going around the edges of the frame quite tightly with nothing under them to prevent possible chaffing ? Just a...

    British MR fliers UNITE

    Hey Droider I would be more than willing to put time and whatever resources I have available up to support any such professional organisation. I am a newcomer to MRC's and am still waiting for delivery of my F450 with NAZA on board and a Fat Shark Predator setup to see with. I am however a...

    God bless Red 4 of the RAF Red Arrows

    I believe that it may well have been bird strike or other engine fault that made him fly lower than the rest of the Arrows, but I believe quite firmly that the problem that actually caused his death was down to an ejector seat problem. ? He was seen by those that were quite close to the impact...

    Hi Dave Thanks for the message. I am surprised you are already using a long range setup as a...

    Hi Dave Thanks for the message. I am surprised you are already using a long range setup as a beginner, but that is where I want to go eventually. Right now I am aiming at a Fat Shark Predator system for ease of installation etc on my DJI F450 with NAZA on board. That would be great if you are...

    Wanted FPV kit for a beginner

    I am new to quads, although I have a PPL with 1500+ hours and I fly RC helis of all sizes. I have just purchased an F450 with NAZA IMU, but want to get into FPV as rapidly as possible, so I am looking for some S/H kit - TX, Rx, goggles, w.h.y that will work and let me return to a cockpit view...

    Naza - Transmitter set up in Assistant Video

    Thanks so much Ed. I am just getting into MR, although I do fly helis, but I am waiting on delivery of my own F450 with NAZA and this video has explained it all very well indeed - great job ! :nevreness:
