Hello Jack great to hear from you. I live about a half hour's drive north east of Edmonton, The wife and I have a small 20 acre farm that we live on. Our two sons live in the original house that is well over 100 years old and we live in a newer home. I removed all the fences and opened up the...

I've seen other photo's of these before but none of them had string around them, was this you idea or do they come like that. I will be getting these when they become available locally. You phantom looks great with the wooden props.

Thanks again GmeisteR that does help, I really want to try it out today but it is a little to windy for my lack of experience, hopefully tomorrow.

Hi SPM, yes I think so as I am using the stock set up parameters that it came with 125 125 100 100, I haven't had time to play with them yet.

I just finished restoring the default parameters, thanks for that great bit of info I feel better now knowing that all is right again. I did have to re do the compass calibration and now if the winds stay down I can take it up tomorrow for the first time with the Gopro. My place is very green...

Thanks for the info Burntpixel I will keep the XYZ as is. I did do an advanced calibration as things got a little messed up when the tree jumped in front of the Phantom. Im not sure what you mean by the Default parameters calibration though, do you mean the gain settings or did I miss something...

Thanks for the reply GmeisteR, I will defiantly recalibrate mine, that's a great idea that I might have forgotten to do but will now for sure. I will fly mine tomorrow and leave the settings as is for the Z axis and see how it performs for me, I will keep it low for the first couple of packs. I...

Well I finally got my Phantom airborne today and it flew great, that is until I accidentally hit a tree due to a wind gust in Atti mode and lost two landing gear leg screws, good thing DJI included extras. Everything on my Phantom is stock. I managed to download the new firmware to 3.12 and...

Thank you for the reply CrashMaster, I think I will continue to fly with the older firmware on my F550 and I wont install the landing gear and gimbal until I have more flight time under my belt. It seems to be flying really good for a rookie like me and I don't want to mess it up. You may find...

CrashMaster I see you have an F550 as well as a Phantom. I also have an F550 running the old firmware and two days ago I purchased a Phantom and have not downloaded the firmware or even hooked it up to the PC yet. My question is will the new 3.12 firmware work for both the F550 and the phantom...

I was just wondering how some of you are storing your multi rotor copters when not in use at home. I have a hobby room that seems to be getting smaller and smaller all the time due to this addicting RC hobby and have now ran out of shelf space. In my room I currently have 8 assorted 1/8th scale...

Success, I flew the F550 today for the first time with zero incidents, what a relief. It looks like the tower is not going to be an issue after all, mind you I never went over 20 feet high but still I think it will be ok. After having my first flight go horribly wrong with the runaway and crash...

Thanks for the reply gtranquilla, my radio is a Spektrum DX8 with AR 8000 receiver. I believe the DX6i is Spectrum's park flier model. The tower is approx. 200 feet away from were I will be flying and it is 100 feet tall if that matters. Since the power source for the tower comes from the...

Hi folks my name is Mike and I have a question regarding my radio. First off I recently built a Flame wheel F550 and installed Naza M with GPS.This is my first ever hexa copter /quad copter of any kind. The other day I was eager to try it out and just after take off I had a runaway, I also had...
