DJI doesn't understand things very well. And writes English with poor spelling. DJI want's videos Americans made illegally.

I'm new to flying my first quad but I've spent months studying the problems that craft have. Your craft seems to be unstable while descending through it's own propwash. It began wobbling a tiny bit when it began descending. The propwash becomes more turbulent when the ground is near. There...

It's possible the Naza is flickering from gps mode to manual mode without your knowledge. That would cause a motor power surge. I've examined my craft's performance in Assistant and some things changed without me making them. for instance I matched up the DX8 and got all the boxes to turn...

Before my first flight I calibrated my ESC's but got inconsistent feedback. I'm still not sure I did it right. I tried a couple different ways. I ended up starting with all the ESC wires unplugged from the FC, then, with the TX on and throttle set to high I plugged in the ESC's one at a time...

Hi again, cpercival, My first build took off on its maiden voyage Sunday morning. It didn't crash. I did something right for once. It's flying with Xoar beechwood wooden propellors. They're made in the US and they are expensive. You ought to be able to find them via a Google search. They...

Nocteel my craft maidened on Sunday morning and it flew well. Despite poor satellite reception. Upon takeoff it shot up fast. It performed exactly like the hex in AMP's video demonstrating their heavy lift conversion kit applied to an F550. I can't tell if the arm extensions are aluminum or...

My first build maidened on Sunday morning. It scared me. It's definitely not an mQX. It's powerful. I maidened in GPS and the craft has issues but it didn't crash. Good luck with your first flight. Be sure that you have a good lock on satellites. My craft flew with only 4 satellites. Two...

A good video. I've learned from seeing so many mishaps like those. My first build maidened on Sunday morning. It has issues but it flew well and didn't crash. :)

Me newbie just learned to operate my Hyperion charger. I hovered over it constantly while I charged a LiPo. I surf the web while the batt is charging but I'm always right there seeing what's happening. I live in an apartment and can't obey the Hyperion manual's directives to never charge a...

BayAreaCrasher: A week gone by and no one else has commented that your video is great? Your video is great! Well done!

Wow, cpercival. Your enthusiasm is impressive. Five months ago I learned that things aren't easy. I've been building my first multirotor with gps since February. It's ready to maiden. But I want to modify it more with telemetry and lights and so forth. You want to duplicate what others...

Yes I hope to compare notes. My DX8 is ready to fly the craft. All the switches are set up and the AR8000 has preset failsafe set. Gains can be changed on the fly with the knob. All the blues light up in Assistant the way they should. I worked with an off the shelf LiPo and ran it down...

Hi, Nocteel. (the forum disables my enter key so I can't create paragraphs) I installed the arm extenders made by Aerial Media Pros. Those are cnc machined after months of testing at AMP. I'll bet other arm extenders are Chinese clones. Just speculation. I thought they were steel. Their...

Lots of good motors won't fit the proprietary holes on Dji arms. It's trouble learning which do and which won't. I decided to install arm extenders having holes arranged so that any motor can be attached.

Although we now know where you are, I can't resist posting another joke. Erskine was the star of a US early sixties TV Show called "The FBI". A Quinn Martin production.

On the face of it, I think it can never happen in real life. I watched the guy taking his pizzas. All while putting his eyes into the whirling blades and receiving out-of-control plastic surgery like in that old movie from the '70's, Logan's Run. (Farrah Fawcett's first bit appearance...

I have the Hyperion EOS720i. I haven't used it as yet. I need to take the manual to work with me and study it all the rest of the week. I chose it because it plugs into the wall and doesn't need a separate power source. I'm still alarmed about the possibility of burning my house down...

I rejected dji esc's from the get go and installed 40 amp Maytech opto units on my F450 build without giving the matter a 2nd thought. The flight controller can't distinguish what kind of esc is used. So far as I know they all connect the same no matter what the craft. There are BEC esc's and...

I've gone backpacking in the mountains for up to two weeks at a time. Seen things nobody else can. A packable, rechargeable system is needed. Wish I had one. What sights there are to convey. Oy Vey
