I'm super new to the RC game but... Just switched from Spektrum DX8 to Futaba 8fg on the 550. Only two real observations I can add is that range wise, for me, the Spektrum was able to consistently go a bit further (likely due to having a small satellite rx), max 1.8 km best but avg 1.3/1.5...

"if the only tool in your tool box is a hammer, all the work needing to be done looks like nails" That made me chuckle ;)

Yessssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss ^

Ahh NOW I'm starting to get it... This is great!! Thanks guys!! Ok so in real world translation. I've got a copter that feels "sluggish" to stick commands. So even though dialing up the gains has nothing to do with the TX it "feels" more responsive (accelerometers for rate of change) since...

Trying to wrap my head around how Gains actually work. Do they simply increase TX stick sensitivity? Making sticks simply "faster" to the endpoints?? Does it create a non linear curve?? More sensitivity closer to center sticks? Does it give my chopper 5 extra horsepower simply by twisting the...

As the title suggests, would be nice to smooth out straight up and downs (descent wobbles) on Medium and Heavy Lifters. Would guess that the theory is that nacelles eliminate turbulence but at the nominal speeds and weight penalty for these guys... Ont the other hand, Benjamin Smooth Rowland...

We're still testing our WKM/AD6 w 2814 Axi's but thus far it hasn't liked 12" APC SloFlys or the 12" Xoars Beechwood. It does like the 13" APC thins and LOVES the 12" XOAR Carbons. Have been told faster is better for WKM. Haven't tried 11's... hmm.

and then publish them on YouTube +1

Chuckling here... you don't say... Carrying a graupner on my thumb as we speak ;) ;) Things are like little sous chefs.. Truth be told, it's more a carbon thing I'm worried about (PS that bike article you linked to scared me even more) ;) ;). I'm a bit of an over guy and my understanding is...

Anybody have a inch lb, foot lb, nm spec for "tight" on carbon hubs?? or wood hubs or just plain good ole Nutz!! Considering this fellow... http://www.amazon.com/Neiko-Pro-Grade-4-Inch-Torque-Screwdriver/product-reviews/B000RZ1D86/ref=cm_cr_pr_btm_link_2?ie=UTF8&pageNumber=2&showViewpoints=0

Wow.. EPBuddy ships FAST>>>>>>>>> Rcvd XT60 and Balance Hydra Cables...^^^ Unfortunately Thunder Power TP820CD manual says to contact them for information relative to multiple charging. I would think it would assigning/finding the right XT60/balance cables 1 to 1, 2 to 2 etc and programming the...

Hi Bart - From BocaBearing http://www.bocabearings.com/bearing-inventory/Radial-Bearings/7304/4x10x4-SMR104CYZZ5NB2 4 x 10 x 4 Millimeters - 28146 x 12 x 4 Millimeters - 4120 (90% sure, per Boca Search) Great news on the DJI size... How much do I owe you and do you have a paypal addy?

Ok... Thinking I'll just need to keep climbing gains until the sticks "feel" the same as the Spektrum. (Last little inflight gain change from 95% to 117% and still not snappy) I'm finding the Futaba seems to have a TON more throw. So between that and my inexperience I'm not sure how much I can...

Yup, calibrated in assistant prior to flight and even checked on the futaba screen. When I snap roll all the way right or left, there's a clear visual delay but the command isn't ignored or notchy... all of this is about 200 feet away and in any orientation (nose in/nose out/sideways) as well...

Progress!!! GPS issue appears to have been related to a pool of interference shaped like a ufo saucer dinner plate ending 8 inches out and 3 inches above. Basically needed to be above the notch filter and all the 1280 components. Wasn't the RX at all. Did NOT like being below however so Quad...

Hi Bart, Gonna love this one... Do you happen to have a tool(s) that will play nice for Axi 2812 and 4120 and... DJI stock 2212? (Bought bearings and don't mind trying a swap. If not, no big deal as will be tossing these in the trash as i crash em to death) ;) Paypal work??

Solid advice. Going to make this part of my pre-flight.

Wow.. so close... Can't wait for the larger 5d/RED gimbals to start arriving! Have 2 AV200/360s that are going to become car gimbals if this keeps up (grrrr)!! Looking forward to placing the order and thanks for the fast shipping on the other various parts orders recently!!

Chuckling here... Ok Quad you win!! 550 is like TEXAS compared to the 330 ;) ;) (Will stop crying bout real estate) Yup, light poles everywhere but same place as usual. BTW thats how it felt!! Move the GPS 10 inches out, almost instant lock. Bring it back in toward the bird, 3 reds... in, out...
