    Question about fail safe and signal loss

    Did another re-bind yesterday and it looks like all is well again (sorta) Not as rock steady in the air as it once was, but at least it's starting up almost instantly without a warm up. Here's a short vid from yesterday at B52 Park https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1kD12G3C120 Gimbal still has...

    Question about fail safe and signal loss

    OK, it seems I have a new problem :upset: The hex spent about 6 weeks on the shelf and when I went to use her again earlier today, the LED on the receiver started flashing and wouldn't stop. Did a normal bind, then a pre-set fail-safe bind, re-calibrated the controls in Assistant and made sure...

    F550 flight issues (videos)

    I have a 9x that I use for my 54" TugBoat and I don't recall having to bind from a distance. I'm thinking about using it for a TBS Discovery build.

    F550 flight issues (videos)

    Just a little update Problem solved and everything is back to normal :tennis: Turns out the new AR8000 required my Tx to be more than 10ft away during the bind process :cold: Someone had suggested it in one of my other threads and it worked like a charm, but to answer some of your questions...

    Anyone here using a PhotoShip One gimbal mount for F550?

    *Update* Flight issue was due to my new AR8000 receiver. Worked out the kinks and made a couple of vids: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WKEedxPmkS8 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XnKgoMwEuUA

    Question about fail safe and signal loss

    Well, it looks as though I've finally got things sorted out :) Re-positioned the AR8000 away from the NAZA IMU, then mounted the satellite on the other side of the frame (away from the GPS antenna) and re-routed the cable around the frame instead of between it. Re-bindeded one last time...

    Question about fail safe and signal loss

    OK, just re-bindeded (is that a word?) the AR8000, re-calibrated the Tx, reset the preset fail-safe, took flight and it started flying funky again :upset: Drifting all over the place and making sudden altitude changes in both GPS and ATT mods :dejection: Gunna re-position both the main Rx and...

    Question about fail safe and signal loss

    OK, another little update. I figure before swapping out motors, I'd switch back to the AR6100E receiver. Re-binded the old Rx, re-calibrated the Tx controls on the assistant, took to the sky and guess what..... She's back to her normal easy flying self :nevreness: So, what could be the...

    Question about motors....

    They're not, it's an F550 frame with budget parts thrown at it :black_eyed: Thanks for the info on the motors. The ones I use have performed flawlessly on countless flights, but I'm not a fan of the flimsy wiring :upset: Each cable feels ultra brittle and dinky :cold: If in fact my current...

    Question about motors....

    So earlier today, a customer came into my shop and saw me fiddling with my F550 during my lunch break. He said he was into the hobby as well and has several high end flying rigs :cool: We got to talking and I told him I recently developed a flight problem (see my other thread) and after...

    Question about fail safe and signal loss

    I haven't touched the GPS puck since I installed the new mast weeks ago. That was before the test flight in post #76, which was trouble free. I doubt it has anything to do with the GPS because I'm having the same flight issue in either GPS or ATT mode The twitchyness I'm referring to is when...

    F550 flight issues (videos)

    Some info on my setup: DJI F550 frame NAZA M (original) GPS 30Amp ESC's (model unknown, but heat shrink has Turnigy printed on it) RcTimer 2830/14 750kv motors 4s 5000mAh Lipo AR8000 Rx DX6i Tx Apart from the recently upgraded receiver, I've been flying this setup for over a year without...

    Question about fail safe and signal loss

    Are you saying that twitchy handling, drifting and random altitude changes are normal with the NAZA Lite? I'm not familiar with the Lite's flight characteristics, but I'm running the old NAZA M and it's definitely NOT normal :upset: Compare my last video to this one I made a few weeks ago...

    Question about fail safe and signal loss

    I recently replaced my old generic landing gear with this Photoship One setup: That's when the battery was moved from the top plate to the bottom rear to compensate for the front mounted gimbal. After my first flight attempt with this setup, that's when I noticed the instability and tried...

    Question about fail safe and signal loss

    I've been flying for well over a year in this same spot without issue. From what I've read, yes. Apparently, sunlight can sometimes cause an issue and a quick fix that others have done is cover the NAZA with black electrical tape. Seemed kinda hokey, but I tried it anyways with no change...
