Has anyone heard anything from Team Black Sheep? I thought that they were supposed to start shipping with the core about now.

Pictures say a thousand words. Can you help us out with some? The mechanical, screen shots from the Assistant. ect... We may able to help you.

I don't necessarily disagree. I think that I might wait to do the coating until I get everything up and running well. The other issue is that I am somewhat concerned about the coated wires that come out of the Arms. I think that I will coat them even if I don't do the rest of the board.

Denny, I agree. The conformal coating is a major impediment to making the repairs needed. I have soldered stuff this small before but the coating takes it to another level. When I posted the video I just wanted to let people know what they were getting themselves in for. I really hope that...

Denny, really nice solution for your temporary problem. Nice to know that it flies well. Let us know how the 14x4.7's work.

Probably a lot. That is why I do not recommend it. I ended up removing all my escs and sent them to DJI for replacement. I can resolder the escs but those 2mm wires are a bugger.

If you are thinking about doing the S800 esc mod yourself. Here is a video that I did that shows how to do it. I would recommend that most people just take the esc's out of the arm and send them to DJI or their dealer. That is what I am doing. I am not that confident in my soldering to...

It does happen. Have you check the solder joints to the bullet connectors on the esc. One of them could be bad. However, you may not be able to get it replaced if you muck with it. I would contact your dealer for a warranty replacement.

From the manual, it is V,P,G,G.

I used some conformal coating after I got through modifying mine.

I have used mine for video recording and for FPV. There is some latency, but not enough that it does not work. I got the pre made cable from ReadyMadeRC.com. Works fine, however, I will say that I like the video from my dedicated video camera. Higher definition, brightness, color saturation...

I sent an email to Trappy to try and include the soldering of the core to the bottom plate. I figured that for $9 or $10 it is a deal and something less that I have to do when it arrives.

I just went there and it is not greyed out now. The software is the same.

This post on RCG explains it all with the attached video: http://www.rcgroups.com/forums/showpost.php?p=22088770&postcount=189

To desolder the motor leads and the 4 leads from the arm is simple. I use a Dremel Tool wire brush connected to my drill to clean the coating off the leads. The coating is to control moisture, or at least that is what I was told by DJI. It looks like a silicon conformal coating. I got some...

I am doing the self repair. After three arms, I am not sure that I would recommend it to anyone. I am ok with the soldering part, but the conformal coating that they used is a PIA. I have had two partial tares of pads because of the adhesion of the coating. It is next to impossible to get...

I just got my Circular Wireless Heliaxis58 RHCP antenna. Now to remove the patch and install this one and retune my vTx and vRx's to the middle channel. Can't wait to fly tis weekend.

You can use data link and osd with a video down link for your FPV. If you are flying under goggles then I think the onscreen osd is important. If you are running a separate video camera then you don't want to connect the GoPro to the vTx as well. It is one or the other. I have used both. I...

I still have the original anodized washers that came with my first F450 kit. I may just go back to them. Star washers are cheap and easily replaceable. The nice part about them is that they dig into the plastic on the prop and the soft aluminum of the stock nut.
