Wow, I am so sorry for your pain. What were your battery monitor settings? Is it possible that it was going into failsafe based on the monitor settings which would vary under load. Just postulating here but I would not like to see anyone suffer like you have.

I have both. I personally like the F450 better. I think that its flight characteristics are better. For the F550, I use 4S lipos that are more expensive. I use cheap 3S 2650 lipos on my F450 and get 8:30 flight times. I use my F450 primarily for FPV. I use my F550 for fun but it is...

S800 Here is 1:30 from the 16:00+ minutes we filmed today. This was all from one 20min flight with 2X6S 5000mAh lipos.

I just got back from my maiden flight of my S800. I brought my friend, James Cole, a professional photographer, and his partner Tom along to observe and video the event. All I can say is WOW!!!!. I was flying in 8 to 16+mph winds at 6500ft elevation on the North Shore of Lake Tahoe. The...

The F450 does rock. I have mine set up for FPV and it is great. I like the mQx for indoors when the weather does not cooperate. It will be the training craft for my grandson.

Nice Boris. I took my time and it was a little longer for me to build. I didn't get the new software loaded until last night. I am using Sidney's settings for 5.06. Now I just need to calibrate the compass. The good news is that I am taking it on a trip with me today. It took me about 15...

They do, you can go back to the previous software. It is all on their site. You like what you got, stay there. If not or you feel adventuresome try the new stuff with the knowledge you can go back.

Looks like they pulled it from the website.

A few people have complained that the start up idle is too fast for their set up. They now have a way to adjust the idle for the 3 seconds after CSC.

Thanks, Robert. I cannot upgrade until tonight and maybe fly tomorrow. Looking forward to your test with the S800 and what settings you would suggest to start.

This is off topic but if you have the S800, it is something that you have been waiting for: DJI has posted software v1.22 and firmware v5.04 on their website. http://www.dji-innovations.com/en/download.php and here http://www.dji-innovations.com/minisite/index_en.html What’s changed? ...

Bummer man. Hope you get yours soon. New software should be out in a few days. It is another Chinese holiday right now. Soon it will be the most American of holidays, Cinco de Mayo. It's almost as good as St. Patrick's Day. LOL

Ok I am done! I have posted most of my build over on Robert's build thread. It is late and I am going to bed so I am not going to replicate it here. Sorry Bart! Here is the link: http://www.rcgroups.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1640184

I am starting my build and have run into an issue with the instructions. The sheet of paper in the case says: "Attention, The screws in the bottom board have been installed with screw glue, which is slightly different from that in the manual. To avoid any damages, please do not unscrew the...

I am not a futaba expert, I am sure that there are others here that can help you.

Here is some new video. Look at the trees and the wind.

Yes, the GPS and IMU need to be pointed forward. Your Rx channels need to be set up with throttle to T, Aileron to A, Rudder to R, Elevator to E, Gear to U and Aux 2 to X2 and Aux 3 to X3. The monitor lead from the PMU needs to go in the X1 slot. F1 and F2 are for the gimbal servos and...

I have a 550 with a WKH for about the same price. Yes the wind performance is better but I still like my multi's.

You can buy an original for $48 US at UAVProducts.com. I just paid $80. The bottom of their market is declining but I do not see the top end doing the same. Especially for their FC's.

What are your gains and what Tx/Rx are you using?
