    Hi Guys Old Naza user here. Just got a V2 unit , updated with 3.12 firmware. I read about the new takeoff feature. How is it supposed to behave and can it be disabled to behave like the old naza? Here's my ground test observation...I dunno is this is correct. In Atti Mode, I see 2 yellow...

    Multirotor Design Theory? Shape / Mass / CG / Symmetry?

    Hi Guys Any one with any inputs on what contributes to good stable multirotor design? I am looking for stability for AP work, not acrobatics. Some questions I have in mind 1) All things equal, what is effect of increasing wheelbase / diameter? Perhaps there may be some optimum ratio /...

    Naza acting weird. Crashed my 3500 dollar setup with naza gps today

    i have had similar experience with a WKM before. bought a AD8HL with Av200 all set up from a vendor. test flight (meaning 3 feet hover off the ground for 5 seconds) worked. so i parted with my cash. next day, had a real test flight. hovering off 8m off the ground. doing nothin. just...

    Quick vid after adding S800 Anti Vibration kit

    got my s800 anti vibration kit it has reduced flicker significantly, but still the odd glitch here and there. then i tried using dji's suggestion of having manual exposure and shutter speed (it was sunny day, my f number was all the way up... shutter set to 1/40 ) that got rid of the flickers

    MTBF (Mean Time Between Failure) Poll

    that reminds me of this other vid on youtube showing a cam operator / MR flying his heavy cam in the city (australia i think) it lifted off rather fast too and crashed into a building. (speaking of which, is this the new default and only way that Naza V2 / FW 3.12 takes off? ie, no more pilot...

    MTBF (Mean Time Between Failure) Poll

    Hi guys Erm... dont know how to create a poll here, but I was wondering seeing some other person describing they had crash after about 20 flights. Made me think if there is a MTBF we could all establish, by pitching in numbers. If someone knows how to make this post into a poll.. pls go...

    Fliping does not go away

    if your hexa is configured in V6 mode.. ie, the front has 2 arms in V configuration, then the arm pointing at '1 o'clock' motor should be rotating anti clockwise. then just follow around each motor, every adjacent motor should be reversed. ie, 1 o'clock arm is anti clockwise 3 o'clock arm is...

    I cannot understand DJI Waypoint / Data Radio 'Control Mode Switch' flowchart!

    hi guys can someone explain to me the convoluted flowchart shown in the DJI Waypoint GCS / Data radio manual? What I really want to know is this, and if its achievable: 1) Normal Transmitter / Receiver fails, system failsafes to Data radios & GCS 2) data radios GCS fail, system failsafes to...

    Maytech ESC's into WK-M MC

    i get this problem commonly on most 'receivers' too on most servo leads (not just maytech escs) fill up all the ports in a receiver and chances are it will be like that too.

    Quick vid after adding S800 Anti Vibration kit

    hi mitsaras i get flicker too. i do think its the vibrations as i noticed that the flicker only starts when in the air. as long as craft is on the ground and even though motors are running, i dont get flicker. only upon lift off do i get it. am ordering an anti vibration kit too, to see if...

    Size limits of NAZA vs WKM?

    i cant say conclusively, but here are some things i have experinced. so far, my best most stable craft has been a dji f550 running naza FW 2.02 it has hobby king 2215J 900kv motors and turnigy 25A esc. it was my first foray into multirotors with intention to go into AP. a cheap test set up...
