Keep it simple is always a good idea, I fully agree. Although it sounds weird maybe, it is actually what I want to do. My TAKEOFF mode is a one switch position, making sure, that I'm in proper control for landing/takeoff. It happened to me many months ago, using MK electronics, when I forgot to...

Thanks a lot for all the valuable input! I've decided to keep manual mode - just in case. But I will reassign my Tx switches nevertheless. Instead of a 3-way switch directly assigned to WKM's control mode (Manual - Atti - GPS/Atti) I will assign a 2-way switch to 2 logical flight modes...

I think (I have tried) to escape from fail-safe by switching to Atti (not necessarily manual) and, if needed, back to GPS/Atti. Although the WKM user manual sometimes explicitly mentions "Manual" mode, I haven't found a case where switching to Atti wouldn't do (the same) job. Maybe except for...

What do you mean by "flyaway"? In what state was it flying away, Atti? GPS/Atti? Waypoint-mode controlled by GS?

Good point, Bison52, thanks for mentioning.

Almost the same happedned to me today - the MR dropped and I could hardly add enough throttle to not letting it touch the ground. As far as I'm aware of, the same sensors are used for Atti and Manual mode, right? Even in Manual mode there is a minimal level of stabilization, I assume. It would...

I'm using my MR for aerial imaging only, no sports flying whatsoever. After some 20 flights I come to the conclusion that I'm going to reprogram my Tx so that there is no MANUAL MODE (switch position) anymore. I actually never used it, but more than once, I switched to manual inadvertently. Do...

Today it happened to me the 2nd time that the LED and the GPS "subsystem" did not work properly after power-up. Because I didn't realize the LED not blinking, I launched my MR and flew in Atti mode - everything looked fine. Switching to GPS/Atti mode I now realized that the MR didn't hold it's...

Which video are you referring to? The one from FerdinandK is not accessible for me - "SORRY, There was an error encountered while loading this video."

Yes, and because of the lack of keyboard shortcuts (e.g. for Pause and Continue), I'm now using "Macro Recorder", a PC tool which allows for recording mouse movements and to bind these recordings to key strokes (e.g. p = pause, c = continue, ...). That's a workaround but still a big step forward.

The WKM is working and the GS doesn't show any COM-port to connect to, right?

How heavy is it, your Skyjib? I would use the table on one of the last pages of the WKM manual is a rough guide. My current gains for my 6kg AD-8 are: 240/240/200/200/220/200. These gains work pretty well, for a 5kg MR they are already too height, I noticed.

Who is the originator of the "no permission" message? GS or a firewall / Windows? There is a USB-to-serial port driver involved, I had many issues which such drivers beforehand. maybe a Windows-component hinders you getting a stable connection?

How heavy is it, your Skyjib? I could imagine that your gain settings are too low. My AD-8 tipped over during launch, more than once! It was because of too low gain settings!

I had quite some troubles too, on my small netbook. DJI finally remote-conntected to mmy netbook and installed a new version of GS (4.0.7) on it. Write them and ask them to help you. Sometimes they do...

As long as you don't pan, i.e., you're mount looks forward, you should be fine. However, if you want to pan, and you probably want to if you bought a 3D gimbal, you have to disable that in the WKM controller. I think you can do that with the assistant software, if you still want to use WKM's...

I agree.

Very illustrative, thanks a lot!

I'm using Graupner 11" props, but I will switch to XOAR wooden propellers (12") soon. I don't think I have a mechnical issue but it sounds very reasonable that my Ati gains are too high. Originally I left them at 100/100 and I wouldn't have changed that if not suggested by the manual (for a...

I would anticipate that - basic gains (pitch/roll) control the sensitivity of control stick input while - attitude gains control the stabilization system sensitivity / responsivness But if the atti/stabilization system also controls the MR through the same "basic gains", we get a kind of...
