Just starting to get it dialed in and the rain started, going to be wet until Saturday at the earliest so this is the best I have so far. CS with WKM in gusty wind, a combination we all know is not a good one, made a lot more viable with addition of the RSGS to the AV130...

Quick update, I never did find an actual problem that the crash could be attributed to, been through the data in the flight log and taken the entire thing apart and inspecting each piece and reassembling it all in another frame with several successful test flights since. BL temps well within...

On my MK FPV quad I have a GoPro on a Hisight II two axis mount and I use the live video out for the FPV video. What I did was disable the roll compensation on the flight controller and left the tilt compensation, that way I can use a TX slider to go from looking slightly upwards, useful for...

Yes, the Graupner will tell you the telemetry data in a sexy female voice while you're flying, the Spektrum is mute ;) I don't have a Graupner although I would like to for my MKs, there is a good integration between the radio and Mk flight controller for telemetry transfer and control of...

I tried higher gain settings and the CS responded exactly as it did on previous versions of firmware. Increasing from 200 to 300 the stability got stiff and twitchy, dropping back to 200 it loosened up and was more controllable in very gusty winds. DJI may have optimized the firmware to work...

It's a Beta test unit from Photohigher, you can't buy one anywhere yet. Ken

Haven't changed the gains from 5.02 to 5.06, still at 200% basic pitch and roll and ATTI is TX adjustable from 40% to 125%, probably set close to the 40% minimum in this video. Currently using APC 12 x 6 thin electric props, I also have a set of 13 x 4 thin E and a set of 14 inch Slowfly, both...

Yes, for both axis. I've already removed the tilt pot and will get around to yanking the roll pot as well, probably next time I have a reason to put wrenches on it, so far working pretty good... Ken

I went ahead and updated the Cinestar6 to the new version, honestly I don't see much difference at all. If anything the GPS hold isn't quite as good as it was on the 5.02 version, the rest of it seems to be about the same. I've been out doing some test flights with the new firmware using a...

On my small aerobatic quads I use an orange pingpong ball strung between the front two arms along with brightly colored props on the front motors and black props on the back, even with that when doing flips and fast moves it can still be a challenge to find the front end but with enough practice...

I'm currently flying the Cinestar 6 with AXI 2814 motors, WKM, and reflashed 30A ESCs. I tried a number of different ESCs and the best all around performance is on the reflashed set. As for Maytech, they are the exact same hardware as Hobbyking Blue series, only difference is the Blue are 1/3...

With the H/F Pro you can turn A/L and A/H on and off via TX switches. I found it actually flys best in manual mode which begs the question why spend the $ for the extra features if you're not going to, or don't need to use them? I think the Sport board I have is fine for a manual mode APV...

I love it, now the Chinese are cloning their own stuff and having a price war! ;) If this keeps up soon they'll be giving it away, the only thing that isn't getting any less expensive are the flight controllers, at least so far. Probably going to take them a little longer to reverse engineer...

I currently have a Skyline test unit installed on the AV130 on my Cinestar and a Naze32 on the way. The Naze was intended to be used as a flight controller on an FPV quad but I guess I should try it as a gimbal IMU as well to see how it compares, just need to dig up the proper code/settings for...

You certainly can, however at that distance the multi is really little more than a small black dot in the sky. Unless you have an FPV system to fly by or eyes like an eagle you will be very lucky to be able to accurately determine orientation of the craft at that distance. While it is LOS the...

I'm coming to motor failure as the likely reason for my crash. I've been through all the data in flight log, nice feature of MK electronics, and can't see anything to indicate a problem with the signal from the TX or any part of the flight control system, still it just kept losing altitude and...

I couldn't upload it with .pl extension so I changed it to .txt, rename it and you should be good to go. Usage is fix_header_v3a.pl <filename>.mp4 -reso (R1, R2, R3, whichever it was recorded in) Don't be surprised if you don't have all the video, I lost the part I most wanted to see, the last...

Just found an email in my inbox from DJI @ 6:08 AM that had this to say... Dear Sir, We made correction to the firmware 5.04 you downloaded last night; please go to our website and re-do the upgrade to 5.06. Our apology for the inconvenience that might have caused you. Sincerely...

Two things to be aware of if you're going to open up the center hole of a prop to 8mm, first make sure the hub has enough material to be able to open the hole to 8mm safely. Part of the problem with the DJI kit props is they don't have enough material in the hub as is and the molding technique...

If it's a file from a GoPro I have a Perl script that will get it to the point that you can view whatever amount of video that is salvageable. I used it on the corrupted video from the crash of my FPV quad this past weekend and I got roughly half the video back, you will need to install a...
