Thx Quad, not a bad idea going back to the traditional to test... was wired traditional w the Spektrum w no issues... Do have both sides of the Naza taped. Just the left then yes? Basically I'm hearing that the two do play nice together so in all likelihood I've managed to bungle the swap...

Thx Chris, that's good to know! Both of the other birds are on the 8FG and would love to get the 550 over as well. Whips are at 90 but pointing down between the naza vu and battery... (running out of real estate) When you say "reflash" do you mean update or reload firmware?? Don't think I...

Swapping the 550 over from Spektrum DX7 to Futaba 8FG/6208SB. Sbus made it easy. Everything configured (Dbus) and looking good in Assistant, time to try er out! and... Bloody GPS refuses to get a lock. 3 Reds foreverrrrrrrrr Ok fine. Maybe it doesn't like the new RX, time to relocate GPS...

Aye, just added the 550/Naza to our 8fg alongside AD6/Jib/WKM. Thx for the tips!

Changing props on the AD6 and decided check motor balance (Laserpointer etc) during which I reached out to lightly grab the motors (no props on kids) and behold two motors stopped spinning with significantly less resistance than the other four?!? Does this mean: A: ESC's are not giving the...

I wonder if you could lose two of the arms (add two motors) and do an XM Coax 8... Small footprint, more lift, really wide view out the front. Question is... would it fly???

Thanks Kloner, that's good to know! Aye Bart, we're based in Qatar and travel throughout the Middle East. Rules change here constantly as I'm sure you know. Thus the ability to carry on versus checking vs shipping makes the ENTIRE process easier from screening to customs, to logistics etc etc...

I think the plug n play arms are genius and hoping become the defacto standard.

That's basically the thought process. Intl flights are shrinking bag dimension limits faster than we can keep up with. Challenge as always is small frame/hvy gear. Unfortunately it must lift 5D2 with 28mmIS (approx 1000g) and 50mm 1.2 (approx 1600g). I think that's a product that could find a...

Chuckling here, oh great, more smoke!! thx for the heads up guys!!!! Bart, like this??? ---> http://epbuddy.com/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=26_14 paired with this http://epbuddy.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=62 (Thx mate!) Drat, damned credit cards...

Bart, any chance that XY8 might fit into IATA guidelines?? Skyjib at 47x47x14 (with gimbal disconnect) is simply too large to fly around internationally.

I think there are 3-4 RTF (Ready to Fly) builders on this forum that build to the highest levels of quality at very reasonable price points (and I strongly suspect a better job than Atlanta based on their motor and prop choice on your build). I'm personally flying a 550 RTF and has been issue...

Came across this cool little site whilst trolling for parallel balance boards (http://www.progressiverc.com/parallel-charge-board-for-jst-xh-xt60.html) I'm sure it's a bit basic but had a good time confirming visually series vs parallel :) Link looks scary but is fine...

Great comparison!! GP3 for the win. Found any way to reduce prop shadow banding? I'm starting to consider cardboard hoods....:dread:

Hi Andre, Couple of updates. Temperatures on the clockwise are 25-30C and CCW 45-50C. Fixed some small motor alignment issues and temps evened up significantly. Looks like it was principally a motor alignment issue. Tried out some props. Base props have been APC 13x6.5 This copter has been...

YUP! That was the issue, single screw side was WAYYYYYYYYY over tightened from factory. Backed both sides off issue resolved, thx blacksail!!

Pm Sent - Already mounted would be fantastic :) THX!

We have a similar setup with the Stratosnapper. The loss of Liveview during shooting is a function of the camera, no way around that. We've turned our review down to 2 seconds letting us shoot roughly once every 4 seconds. If there's a workaround that would be great.

Just opened the package after ordering one of each(shipping was lightning fast, thx!). Have to be honest mate, would have strongly preferred these come assembled, organized into separate zips and a video for each (other than the single bareback) and/or illustration detailing the lacing. All of...

WOW - Great tips guys thank you!!!!!!
