We have a home in Kings Beach. I have several friends in Tahoe that fly and film for a living. Work keeps me in Las Vegas most of the time unfortunately.

At 120fps, what camera are you planning to use? A week is a short time to learn a flight system. In the time you have, Learn to drift past your target in ATTI mode. Get the craft moving then let it drift past with the least amount of stick movement. You will be happy with the results.

Tother, if set up properly the WKM and F550 will almost fly itself in ATTI or ATTI-GPS. I took a friend that had never flown anything and put the WKM in ATTI-GPS and IOC Course Lock. Once I explained the functions, he was flying without a problem. That said you really need to learn how to...

The next product development as far as I know is the Zen for GoPro. After that who knows. The retracts are coming on the market soon. There is the new software that just came out. They now have an adaptor for using different FPV cameras. They will soon be coming out with a V2 of the HDMI...

Try it, if it doesn't work you need a V2 board. I think you need one anyway and I have not seen any available.

The Naza H just appeared on the DJI website. Still no word on availability or cost.

CC3D if you are not concerned about GPS or wait for the Revo. The software for the Revo is still in the Alpha version and needs a lot of work before it is ready for prime time.

Ramesh, the WKM doesn't play well with others. You will not be able to the data you need from DJI for a non-DJI application, read closed source, proprietary what ever. I have an EagleTrees OSD and I use a second GPS unit to give me the data. My guess is that you are going to have to do the same.

Ah, Nitro. Hate to clean up after a flight. That is why I am getting rid of my nitro planks.

5.16 is now available. http://www.dji-innovations.com/products/wookong-m/downloads/ Enjoy!

They are dangerous for sure. I have tried the following FC's for SRH: Align 3G, Skooum 720, Helicommand Rigid, GyroBot 900 and the WKH. I fly the WKH right now. The Naza H with GPS will be out soon. It combines the stability of the WKH with 3D performance. Nice package.

For me it was those slight tail touches. With the shaft drive to the tail rotor, a slight touch would strip one or both of the drive spindles. APITA to tear it apart and replace. I was buying the front and back spindles by the gross. I finally put a 700 fin on the back of the 550 to fix that...

I agree with Denny that FBL is the way to go. I like 550 size helis, not to small not to large. They use the same lipos as my S800. FC's for SRH are as confusing as those for the MR. I have tried Align 3G, Skookum 720 (No GPS), HeliCommand, Gyrobot and WKH. Right now I am only flying the...

I was at my house in Lake Tahoe this weekend and we had about 6" at lake level, 6400', for the weekend. The resorts at a higher altitude had 10% of their annual snowfall with just one storm. And it was butt cold in the single digits for wonderful snowmaking and I am not talking C here but F.

Hoverfly is closed source and US based. I have never owned their products, but they are here and trying to be competitive. Arducopter is OS here in US but the components are Chinese. MikroKopter is Holgar sourced. He is open about nothing.

The other alternative would be to have everyone fly around for a month crashing while they put the replacements in the system to handle the flood of requests. I think that they took the higher ground and when they saw they had a solvable problem, announced a solution and told people not to fly...

The 3S at 2650mAh is fine for 10" props. I use them and go up to 3000mAh. I also use 4S at 3000 and 4000mAh with 8" props. It becomes a personal preference.

I have no issues with the Turnegy lipos. I have a lot of them, mostly the NanoTech, but I have the regular ones as well. I have found that if you over discharge them or try and charge them too quickly, they do tend to puff. For the price, I am happy with them. I have had 3 out of about 20...

You can also adjust your GPS for magnetic declination. The direction and number of degrees are dependent on your location.

A AR6210 will not support a present fallsafe. Go to the Horizon web site or try here: http://helifreak.com/showpost.php?p=3792179&postcount=9 When I do Preset Failsafe, I put the bind plug in and power the rx, then I remove the bind plug, the receiver and satellites continue to blink. Then I...
