None, of the three I have this one is by far the best and most accurate. Initial lock is under a minute, near instant after the first battery, and the first time I tried RTH it landed less than 3 feet from the spot it took off from. I've used the RTH several times now mainly because I get a kick...

The VTX right now is a 1500mw 1.3, I'll be trying it out with 2.4 next time out. It's a set of 450 arms on a set of custom centerplates, aka the Team Black Sheep Discovery. The front arms are spread wider than normal so nothing gets in view of the camera and the plates extend rearward to hold...

Naza with GPS, I've pretty much stanardized on this setup for all my FPV quads. I fly it exclusively in ATTI mode, with the right gain settings it flys much like a Mikrokopter which was my first "real" mutlitrotor so it feels right to me flying that way. The ATTI gains need to be turned way...

Last Friday I finished swapping everything over from my F450 to the Discovery frame and Saturday morning I headed over to the field to get some test and tune flights on it. Flew quite well right off the bench but was seriously anemic in the power department with the stock 2215/905kv 3S motors...

You still have to do the min and max calibration in the Core setup. On mine I have channel 8 on the EZUHF diversity RX assigned to the RSSI needle and the signal pin and ground connect to the two pads on the lower frame plate through the built in traces in the top plate. It works but I get...

On Saturday I flew the first FPV flights with my QAV500. Naza flight controller with GPS, Avroto 770kv motors on 4S, Graupner 10 x 5 props, Immersion 5.8 600mw vTx, and live video from the GoPro... It flys very different from my F330 and F450 FPV quads, the QAV wants to GO FAST in...

I have noticed the Zippys perform poorly as the temperature increases. I have 4 of the 4S 8000 packs that I've been using on the CS6 and more recently on my QAV500 FPV quad. In the hot and humid air yesterday the Naza went into low voltage landing mode at just a tick over 10 minutes which meant...

To use the crosshair you also need an antenna tracker, correct? Right now I'm trying for the best compromise setup that doesn't require a tracker to keep the signal focused. I know I won't get nearly as much range that way but around here if you can find a half mile of open terrain that's a...

I've been out to over 1900 feet horizontally and 350 feet vertically with crystal clear picture using Immersion 5.8 gear with Cloverleaf on the vtx and an SPW antenna on the rx end. With this setup the only time I have problems with the picture is when something gets in between the two antennas...

Welcome! You don't mention where you're located but I'm in New England and right along the coast myself. Lately I've been doing solely FPV flying and right now I'm just starting the build of FPV quad #4, a QAV500 from FPVmanuals. Of the three I currently have flying two are Naza flight...

I flew the F450 with my homemade antenna for just about 60 minutes total this morning at the same place I flew it previously with the now deceased Bluebeam. I have to say this antenna works as well and possibly a little bit better than the Bluebeam did, I got a solid signal in places where it...

I spent a huge amount of time on RunRyder back when I flew single rotor exclusively, haven't been over there in a long time but to me it was the RCG of the heli world with a bit of the old MK.US thrown in. People would get their undies in a knot over something trivial and start a flame war only...

Not that hard to make... While out flying this morning I got brave with the F450 and took it for a low fast pass between the trees just as I do with the F330. Thing I forgot about is the size difference not only of the 450 vs. the 330 but the 1.3 gHz cloverleaf antenna as well. Just as I...

The F330 is a 5.8 600mw Immersion vTX, the frame is just too small to get any reasonable amount of distance between things that can interfere with each other. The F450 was the same setup until this evening when I swapped to an EZUHF and 1.3 gHz video system, I'll be heading out to the flying...

One of their multis is a full MK setup, built for them by Ziggy at Mikrokopter.US, he has a thread on his site forum about it. Ken

On my F330 I had to put a TX controlled switch in the power line for my video TX to get the GPS to acquire satellites in a reasonable amount of time, I start with the vtx off and then turn the power on when the GPS has full lock. After the first lock of the day it goes full lock within seconds...

Thanks for the files, everything appears to be there. Later this week I'll look into getting a set made, I know someone that can 3D print a set to try it out, might go that route first and if it looks good I'll have some cut from G10. Spent the evening getting the EZUHF working and the 1.3...

I always keep a large old bath towel on hand for test flights for exactly that reason. I'd rather stall the motors and be able to uplug the battery as safely as possible under the circumstances and even if an ESC or two burn out it's still better and cheaper than a trip to the Emergency room at...

Yes please! All I need to do is find someplace to do the actual cutting around here, standoffs I can make on the lathe and I have plenty of nuts and bolts on hand plus a spare F330 frame kit to "borrow" the arms from so I don't have to take the flying 330 apart until the new frame is ready. Ken

Yes and no. I flew it sucessfully with 14 inch props which I could never do with the WKM and have it not wobble and weave as soon as it got off the ground. With the YS and the 14 inch props it flew almost as well as the WKM does with 11 or 12 inch props so that was a big improvement. Thing that...
