Unless you're doing really long range flight it's extremely hard to justify the cost delta of the Yellow Jacket hardware vs Immersion, for anything up to a couple of miles the Immersion 5.8 600mw is plenty with the right set of antennas. The only problem I see at the moment is the complete lack...

Over the weekend I installed the ACC upgrade on my Hexa F/C and upgraded the firmware to .90. Only have a couple test flights on it so far but from what I've seen it's probably the best upgrade I've ever done on an MK. The difference in altitude hold is night and day, it actually holds altitude...

Always set the TX to airplane or acro mode with a multi. It is possible to use heli mode but you lose use of the pitch channel since all heli modes mix pitch with throttle and I have never seen a radio that allowed that mix to be removed other than to set it to airplane mode. I still have...

I received a spam email from DJI about their worldwide video contest which I was giving a quick thought to entering when I noticed it's only open to S800/WKM/Z15 owners. I guess it wouldn't look too good for them if someone with a WKM powered Cinestar or Skyjib with Alexmos brushless gimbal...

That's one of the old KK boards and the current code for the KK 2.0 won't run on it, the only firmware that will work can be found here... http://www.kkmulticopter.kr/index.html?modea=xxcontroller I have one of the blue boards and had its older brother the red board that I gave to one of the...

The 3.10 firmware works fine on the V1 Naza, I have it on one of mine. In the Assistant you should be able to do a manual update as long as the DJI server is online and accessible, occasionally there's a problem and you can't get to it for whatever reason. I just checked and can get to it no...

The RCTimer board is a Martinez board. Ken

Springtime in New England At last the green is back in the local landscape... Ken

You can get a Martinez controller board here... http://www.uavobjects.com/index.php?id_product=97&controller=product currently 5 in stock according to the website. I have both Alexmos and Martinez boards, as far as I can tell there is no difference in the way they work, the only real difference...

The short answer is you can't disable that mix in heli mode, its there to make sure throttle increases along with collective and is part of the programming in the firmware. Sent from my MB855 using Tapatalk 2

In the final regulations you will most likely see a transponder requirement as well as aircraft registration/pilot licensing of some form for anything that exceeds 400 feet in altitude as well as flying beyond line of sight, or in other words any remotely piloted aircraft that can potentially be...

I think this is what you're looking for... http://snakeriverprototyping.com/micro52.html Ken

I have a couple others I can swap out and see, I even have a brand new spare around here somewhere. The weird thing is it worked normally right up to the moment I swapped to PPM and then it started the green only thing, I'll have to find that spare and swap this one out to see what happens. At...

The official FAA position is that you can fly for hobby purposes as much as you want, as soon as you receive compensation for it you are in violation of their policy. There are many differing opinions on the subject and just as many intepretations, the bottom line is theirs is the only one that...

Yesterday I updated one of my TBS Discovery to the new 3.10 firmware and gave it a couple test flights. To be honest I don't see a huge difference from the 1.8 firmware on the V1 Naza, if anything it may not be quite as solid in ATTI mode as it used to be, feels "looser" on the sticks. It does...

In your first post you said "I set up the new firmware and double checked everything to see if the setting from my V1 got carried over...", read the second paragraph of my post and you may have your answer... Ken

I'm currently using the Gotheli brushless gimbal with my Nex 5n under the Cinestar 6. First time I flew it in the field the wind was blowing to 20+ mph and from the ground I could see the CS was bouncing and weaving all over the place, especially in position hold. I wouldn't even have bothered...

If you need to resort to anti-vibration pads under a Naza to make it fly right all you're doing is putting a bandaid on and masking the real problem, you need to balance the props and possibly even the motors to get rid of the vibration. While it may fly OK now as you have it setup, if the...

A little video recorded yesterday at a local multirotor meet. Very windy as can be seen in the video, didn't stop some of the guys from doing a little FPV pylon racing. I didn't race, just did a few flights with the MK Hexa and GoPro brushless gimbal and a bunch of aerobatic flipping and rolling...

After two weeks of trying everything in the book to make the YUN-1 stable in FFF I finally figured out it was never going to happen without some modifications to the design. As soon as I have a second working controller board the YUN is going to be stripped down a bit and mounted to the front of...
