    Am i being over cautious here?

    They must just be crappy chargers then. Connecting up charge leads and setting the battery type/charge rate etc. is all one can do. After that it is up to the charger and yup, it takes that long! Hey! Anyone out there want to buy three Robbe PowerPeak multi-chargers with Graupner 120/240/12v...

    Am i being over cautious here?

    Maybe it is the balancing that slows it all down. Dunno. Never thought of not connecting the balance cables. Mind you, although the charger channel is set to 4C I doubt that it is actually pumping that through. I am using the Robbe QuadPeak four channel charger to save on general hardware mess...

    Am i being over cautious here?

    1C? Wow! You must be patient. I have the alarms set for 3.6v under load and then 'go easy' on my 6S/10,000 gens ace packs by only charging at 4C instead of 5C and they take five or six hours to charge.

    MOVI on over.

    This is so very amusing because I was thinking something similar just this afternoon when out of the blue there was this sudden explosion of posts about the MōVI. Even Tabb Firchau himself was moved to contribute, after the long, deafening silence following the NAB announcement. I will agree...

    DJI Wookong-M Firmware v5.26

    I do apologise for ever doubting that you are a total pain in the hole. I will state that I too will not be screwed over and have had particular success on more than one occasion in getting satisfaction out of DJI having bought their faulty gear. Not via the reseller, who is generally powerless...

    Signal Fade Within 30 feet......

    It is only the transmitter which stands to suffer if there is no antenna attached. If the receiver has no antenna you just get poor reception. That said, it is the receiver antenna that is the most important element when it comes to sensitivity, range and quality of video reception. It is more...

    DJI Wookong-M Firmware v5.26

    Let's hope they bring out just one more FW release that makes it work properly before they abandon it.

    WARNING - Firmware 5.24

    We know that GPS Hold works, the question is whether or not it drops in and out of GPS and Atti if flown with the switch in GPS position? This is what I have understood from Droider's original point and which several others have corroborated, that flying with the GPS switch ON, results in the...

    CS8 to X8 conversion - Herkules ESC III V3

    Thanks for that. I will hot foot over to your site and get legal. Shame that the motor direction change is not so simple. Plenty of room for error when the wires are all black!

    CS8 to X8 conversion - Herkules ESC III V3

    How do you configure the custom motor mixer? The table that becomes enabled has a row of the four controls for each motor but where does one start with entering values? Ah-Ha! Just found this ... Well that seems to make sense, and so simple (!!!), because instead of rewiring the...

    CS8 to X8 conversion - Herkules ESC III V3

    I am trying out an assembled, custom made X8 that is already fitted with the two Hercules III boards and a Wookong FC. I do not like the standard DJI X8 Motor Mixer, with all the top motors CW and all the bottom motors CCW. There is very little provision for failures with this configuration and...

    Beware Wookong-M fantastic deal with 50 waypoints!

    The more expensive of the two 50 Waypoint bundles included iOSD, BT led, Datalink 900 + WKM at around €1150. As a WKM is given away with every bundle, including the S800 EVO/WKM bundle which is the same price as the EVO alone, it can be assumed to be worthless. That leaves the iOSD, BT led and...

    Caught on camera, multirotor crashes into crowd at Great Bull Run

    Is this the rebirth of Flower Power? Scott McKenzie and John Phillips will be millionaires all over again (San Francisco (Be Sure to Wear Flowers in Your Hair)). Great video. "Drone Dudes" ?!! Maybe we are going back even earlier than Flower Power and the Beach Boys will get the new money...

    Anyone buy a PC laptop lately?

    "... Horses for courses even ..." Gee Whiz Dave. Is all that a Lancashire dialect or do you just ignore the spell checker? My first computer was a used Mac Powerbook 1400. At the time I was not even aware that there were two camps. "PC" meant Personal Computer to me, so what was a Mac if it...

    Beware Wookong-M fantastic deal with 50 waypoints!

    Oh Boy! That is going to leave all those who jumped on the 'amazing deal' feeling stupid. Probably feeling even more stupid when they realise that the whole Waypoint Flight thing is just a fancy sounding, hyped up, irrelevant carrot for most folks. Unless you are the Forestry Commission, who...
