Violetwolf, I figure if I fly long enough, I will lose GPS for one reason or another, so I should be able to fly the thing in manual mode. The few times I have tried with the T810, it was very hard to control. It is hyper sensitive to commands. The slightest touch is exaggerated so I messed...

Thanks Mike, I will adjust later on. It was on my mind but didn't know how many degrees to do. This video is my second flight immediately following my first unsuccessful flight where I abandoned take-off.

The 2nd flight was pretty normal, but pitch and roll need to be turned down. It feels like it would flip over if I pushed the stick too much. I'll have to find where that is, remote or Naza M V2 program. After the 2nd flight of about 7 minutes, I checked all the bolts and some may have loosened...

Check out my first flight.... LOL. The 2nd one was much better :)

Those things scare me even when the battery is not connected.

This is it! Everything is in place. Transmitter programmed.... I think. I will fly it later today if all goes well and will hover it in place for a while to make sure the used motors and ESC's are ok. Will clean up wiring if successful. Can't wait. Any last minute advice is welcomed.

Everything was going very smoothly until I connected the flight controller with my computer. Apparently there were issues with window 10 computers communicating with the flight controller. There's a great online tutorial that shows how to properly download the files into specific folders...

This is the most recent shot. Decided to make a new wire harness with the good wire as suggested. Everything but the GPS module is hooked up. I plugged in the battery and all was good. No fire :-) Will calibrate soon with assistant software. I am almost there!

I just ordered a folding mount from amazon prime. I also gorilla glued the one that came with the module. I am surprised that DJI sells a kit that makes the builder fasten it their way. You'd think they'd have some sort of clamp or threaded system. No biggie.

Can someone tell me how I mount my GPS module or specifically fasten the top and bottom of the GPS module to the stick? it's slides up and down without the hot glue. Thank you

This is my latest video of Devil's Slide located in California. It was very foggy as it usually is in this location.

Eventually I will put a Mirrorless 4K camera on the hexacopter such as the Black Magic or the Sony that was mentioned earlier. For now I plan on putting on two Gopros, one in the front and one in the back (to see where I have been). I already have the Gopros. I am probably about a month away...

One observation, I used 12 gauge wire going to the motors. The motors appear to be 14 gauge wire. I may have gone too thick and am thinking about scrapping the harness and making a lighter one. No reason to go bigger than what came on the motors.

Not much new in this video, just me looking kind of , well, dumb. I like being on the other side of the camera.

Well, its back together for the most part. Assembly was actually a bit easier than I had anticipated with the exception of trying to run the wires though the tubing and out the small end. It was close to impossible. If I do it just occurred to me I can shove a wire down the small end and tape...

Hot glue, of course. Thanks.

What a pain in the ass it was soldering one 10 gauge wire to eight 12 gauge wires. One issue, I was going to try to not use electrical tape, but after trying to shrink the shrink wrap to fit, I think I know why the original wiring harness used electrical tape at the same solder point. The red...

. Moderator, delete this message if you can. Thank you. The message I meant to post is after this one.

Thanks John, makes perfect sense. Will probably wire the harness today. Thanks again.
