I have the same landing gear setup with the GoPro mount Coptersky sells as well. From the one or two test flights I did with it it seems that the mounting system is a bit too soft as there is a fair amount of camera sway visible in the video recordings. Once I get the WKM Y6 dialed in I plan to...

Nothing new at the moment. I did get the mount working fairly well on my Droidworx AD6 then took it off to fabricate a better mounting system and do a couple other things to it, haven't gotten past that point due to being sidetracked with a few other things like the DJI Wookong-M flight...

That would be a question for Robert at DJI-US although I can't see any reason why they wouldn't. Probably won't see them listed on the website but I would think that if something broke and you needed a replacement they would be able to provide it, just makes good business sense to do that. Right...

It has been my experience that any camera with built in OIS doesn't work well on a multirotor, seems to make things worse and not better unless you have a vibration isolation system that doesn't allow ANY vibration to reach the camera and that is tough to do. I'm seriously looking at the Nex...

Dave, motor arming by TX stick movement is not yet a feature in the WKM controller, hopefully it will get added in upcoming firmware upgrades. I setup the throttle hold as a workaround for the lack of arm/disarm feature after I found out you can do it for acro mode on the JR 11X, many TX don't...

Sunday I got over to the field with the Y6 for its first outing in a large enough area to really let it fly and see what it can do. Unfortunately it was to be a short day for the Y6 and WKM controller. First flight went well enough, still had some gain adjustments to make and I was flying the...

Yes, that power supply doesn't have nearly enough power to start 6 motors turning, you could in fact damage something trying (probably the power supply itself). Go with lipo power and make sure the props are off and the controller is in manual mode. If you put it in ATTI the motors will start...

Manual mode is no autoleveling, it flys like a basic quad with just gyros, you have to "fly" it the entire time to keep it in the air. ATTI mode is similar to flying an MK, it is the autoleveling mode that also includes a vario altitude hold. You can take off in ATTI mode and never use manual if...

Change the battery to Ni-xx and the motor start to normal, otherwise it looks good. Ken

Airplane or acro mode is fine on the WKM controller, they recommend heli mainly because that was/is their primary business prior to the -M unit so its what they know best. There are two advantages to using heli mode and only one of them apply to the DJI Wookong-M controller. First you get...

I do practice a lot, not always with the big machines either, actually I don't fly the big ones nearly as much as I do the little 12 inch aerobatic quads. In good weather I try to get a minimum of at least 3 full battery packs a day on one or more of the quads I have ready to go. Tomorrow...

The first release only had support for flat hexa and quad, the release yesterday contained support for Y6 because I and a couple of other people had them built, ready to go, and were requesting mixer tables for them. The update was scheduled for next week but due to the requests for Y6 mixer...

First video from Y6 with WKM controller I managed to get the gains dialed in pretty close this afternoon with the WKM controller back on the Y6, could probably tweak it some more and I will over the long weekend. Late afternoon I decided to hook up the servos for the camera mount and turn on...

The Y6 is flying now. Working on getting the gains dialed in, had to make significant increases and still going. Its proving to be more stable than it was with MK flight controller using I2C converter and PWM ESC's but I'm not at all surprised by that. A better comparison would have been to use...

Hook it up to MKtool, there should be an error message in there regarding the Navi board, what does it say? Ken

Support has been really good so far, understand that the first shipment has just reached end users this week with more going out and Robert is a bit swamped between supporting people working out their setup and keeping the new shipments moving. There is also SidneyW that posts on RCG exclusively...

Here's what one of the DJI China folks had to say about that... "Run the Atti gain as high as you can without oscillations. Of course, everyone is different. I only have two in the office today (Shanghai show took 4 from marketing dept). Atti gain no less than 125%, as high as 170% on the...

I put it all back together making sure the GPS was as far away from the rest of the electronics as I could get it both horizontally and vertically. Started the Assistant software and reconfigured the mounting to reflect the relocated GPS, strapped on a fresh battery and headed outside...

I think I found the problem... With just the WKM on quad sitting in the same spot as MK was, powered by an RX battery and nothing else connected, RX and ESC leads completely disconnected, it took slightly over 9 minutes to no flashes so it didn't appear that peripheral RFI was causing the...

I just took my Mikrokopter AD6 out in the yard where I had the WKM a short while ago to test how long it takes the Mikrokopter GPS to cold start and update the internal table. I set my TX to stopwatch function and hit the start button as soon as I plugged in power, the MK GPS went full lock from...
