Yeah, the current manual is a tough read even when you have it all running in front of you! Already found a small bug in the firmware, the maximum allowed value for declination is +/- 12.7 which is probably more than enough for mainland China but where I live I needs to set it to -14.9. Can't do...

It finally arrived yesterday! My current testbed frame had a WKM on it, I removed the WKM and installed the X6, and then spent the rest of the evening read the manual and getting it setup to fly. This morning I did the maiden flight in the backyard, first impressions are good, still have some...

Width, the Fatshark base edition have sliders that allow the screens to be moved closer or further apart depending on need. I have the screens as far apart as they can go on my base editions and it's perfect, the Dominator are too close together for everything on the screens to be clear for me...

No, I haven't tried it and I won't because of this... http://www.rcgroups.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1610439 "a Flight Controller by the tradename 'Rabbit' is being sold at ebay (by an individual going by the name 'vocanlo') and at Goodluckbuy. This product is being sold bundled with onboard...

Just the kind of publicity the RC flying hobby doesn't need. Unfortunately I think there's going to be a lot more of this kind of thing happening which will only bring more scrutiny. At the mentioned 8000 feet I would think it would have to be FPV flying, not a good thing in proximity to a major...

I have both the Fatshark Base edition and the Dominator. I like the built in RX with the Dominators, I'm not tied to any other gear by cables which makes flying FPV so much easier and the rubber eyepeices that they have are a step up from the old foam around the edges of the base edition. What I...

Only time I'm even remotely bothered is in gusty wind when the quad is bouncing around a lot, otherwise not a problem. My cure? I cheat, engage GPS position hold with altitude hold and take the goggles off for long enough to sync my eyes to my brain and then get back to the business of flying...

The only real difference that I've seen is the WKM will hold altitude better than the Naza in FFF, otherwise they perform much the same. I've flown two different frames, a quad and a hex, each using the same WKM and Naza and the actual flight performance difference was very tiny other than the...

I've been told the new website will go live on Thursday. Ken

At most I think the Naza will have position hold and RTH, nothing more than that. If you want the waypoint capability with a ground station and any other advanced GPS abilities you will need to move up to the full featured WKM system. Sidney also didn't mention the cost, I'm guessing it won't...

I do, I've had the shrink wrap off one of each and sitting side by side, EXACTLY the same hardware Blue series - Maytech V1. Only difference might be the firmware running on the Maytech but there's no way to tell that for certain. What I do know is the Maytechs work even better with the SimonK...

Takeoff weight on my Cinestar 6 is just a shade over 9 pounds with a Nex 5N, as long as they don't go less than 10 pounds I'll be happy. What worries me more is what kind of licensing and registration will they impose on commercial operators, I'd hate to have to get a private pilots license just...

I'm not so sure the twitch has anything to do with the Skyline, I think it may be play in the roll servo geartrain. This particular AV130 has been crashed and repaired 3 times now and it's still the same roll servo, might be time for some maintenance on it! This is also a prototype Skyline, the...

This is a pic of my Cinestar but I did pretty much the exact same setup on my AD6 using DYS 30A ESCs... Here's the previous setup using the Afropower size board, I swapped to the more own style to give the cabling more room in the middle... Ken

The best? Mercalli, not free but not expensive either, haven't found anything better for the times I need to use it. Ken

Absolutely certain it was not a voltage problem, no indication of it in the flight data log and I didn't see it in the OSD. I've since done a couple flights with the same packs, no problem. I suspect it was a motor problem that brought it down as a couple of them have rough notchy feel to the...

I don't know but someone should teach them how to set one up properly, the constantly tilted horizon makes it hard to judge how well the compensation actually works! Ken
