    Problems with brand new F450 + NAZA

    That's what failsafe does, raise the copter 20 meters and returns to home, home being where it was satellite locked. congratulations on getting going!

    Have we come too far too fast?

    I recently watched a Copterkids video and they were using a SRH lifting the Epic effortlessly and it didn't even look like a huge SRH. I worked with those guys last year in Moab on a Japanese Subaru spot and their rig was less intimidating than a large hex. They didn't piddle around tweaking...

    New Flyer - F450 Build

    Howdy mpilot, welcome to this side of crazy. The 450 is a great kit for a starter rig, go with the naza controller and you'll be all set. You don't need to use the telemetry module, you can always plug it in later. Tons of build guides on utube, download the manuals and get familiar with the...

    Newby Q

    Hi Dan, do you have the wires coming from your rx to the naza the proper way? I had mine upside down when I first plugged it in and naza assistant wouldn't recognize my radio, you should have the light brown cables on top. Hope it's that simple for you.

    NAZA w/ GPS (barometer and Sun)

    Hi Dad, yeah I have the same light and there's nothing wrong with my 450 naza cept for the jaboni running the sticks. I think it's there to let you know naza has power like on your rx.

    Graupner hub spacer / adapter alternative?

    Dude, if the prop is already broken, why do you care if you take a hammer to it? If you can't wait, I guess you could wrap the threads with electric tape until you get 2mm thick* *no guarantee this cockamami idea will work and you may crash your rig.

    Aerial shooting is not always a profitable business

    First time out crashes will weed out a lot of guys. I'm in the film industry and I've yet to tell or show anyone that I'm into this stuff and am building a hexa for filming with. Even so, I would only offer it up to a few guys I've known for years and only for simple B-roll stuff away from the...

    F450 Newbie Questions

    Hi Thomas, for the connectors you can sand, file, grind, clip, cut the little tab off, just don't sand, file, grind, clip or cut to deep as to expose the wires. As far as the 3 esc plugs, it doesn't matter which plug goes to which plug, if the direction of the motor is wrong, simply unplug TWO...

    So happy now that I know my nuts won't fall off

    Dewster, sorry about your crash, it doesn't look like you have a washer under your locknut to distribute the compression. Also whatever that gewber is above the locknut is probably throwing your motor balance off and is unnecessary since the whole point of a locknut is to "lock". Ed, those...

    Two clients want me to fly their RED EPIC cameras - advice?

    Hi Benjamin, just curious what format your clients planning for release that they would want to fly the red? Have you had a look at the canon c300? Half the weight of the epic and the image is freeeeekin gorgeous! We're on stage shooting with Miss Alexa this week, now there's a camera built...

    MY F550 - Order placed, some few last min questions!

    Make sure you buy or have the means to make a battery cable to solder to the lower frame plate, it's not included in the kit. 10-12 gauge wires to whatever battery connector you're planning on using. Good luck and leave the props off until you're 100% sure everything is working properly.

    Need a budget motor similar to AVRoto/MT2814-10 2814 size 750-770kv

    the graup's worked fine on the stock dji motors and I didn't have any 4s batts (I do now but not a complete set of graups). If you order these motors, get some extra bearings also, if Altitude doesn't carry them, gotheli does (in fact they carry the same motor just not the "q" version so it...
