    Finally No Flashing White Lights on my S800

I am not flying the 800 but I have a f550 with avroto motors, and 11 inch props. With that said I could not fly with out seeing any white lights. I...

    Turn your f550 or 450 into a 600,700,800 plus size

    Crazyhorse on your question, they are manufactured not custom made, the booms, he has a standard cut for them and each have a hole in the middle of each end, that is to put a locking pin to say in it so it will not twist if that became a issue. I am going to weigh out the total weight on an...

    lookning for power distrobution specs on f550 board ???

    aForcefulThrust Good news I got my answer and the board can accommodate over 250amp at one time. As of making the f550 to a 800, I am getting the conversion parts from Skyrover.us. Basically they have a bracket, that I have seen which cleverly and seamlessly mounts to the f550 or f450 just as...

    WKM without GPS attached

    "Roll of Death" other then when its a s-800

    I have been reading around the forum on the "flip of death" and I just trying to gather if this has happened to anyone other then those who have been flying the s800. I am just wondering if its only the 800 then, why? and how could that be chased back to a specific model and a firmware issue??

    WKM and toilet bowl dance

    I also have seen a toilet bowl effect if the GPS was not aligned properly with the copter. You can see what I am talking about if you go to the manual page 42, there is also a whole element about configuring the compass on the previous pages there. note this also has something to do with the...

    I was outside and running my f550 (hexa copter) when I lifted it up and start to fly. When it was only about 20seconds into the flight my number one motor seemed to slowly shut down, I was pretty low to the ground and I dumped the throttle, it did a very minor crash. Nothing was hurt mainly...
