There is nothing interchangeable/compatible between any DJI flight controller and Pixhawk. If you change out the Naza and install a Pixhawk you can assign the flight modes available in Pixhawk to any switch you want them on. Your existing switch assignments may work out as you desire but you...

A flimsy prop could be a source for a lot of vibration.

Although I agree completely that manufacturer's fail miserably in providing documentation with their products, technical and safety included, I also agree with Tstrike. Providing additional safety sheets implies you are aware of the various dangers and therefore selling products that may be...

Nope, the first time I went head to head with the owner, knowing what was going to happen:)

In general fixed wing RC, going from a 2 blade to a 3 blade requires a reduction in diameter and an increase in pitch.

Hey now. I've been banned twice from the same place. Lifetime bans both times. Not here, but Sleepy knows where;) Funny thing, I didn't lose anything when or after they happened.

Advanced concept conversations, I mean really advanced concept, are usually found in closed forums created and dedicated to engineering and aero professionals that don't stray much outside of their usual professional circles. Sort of like scientists. They're out there and communicating, just...

All those zip ties just can't be doing anything positive for minimizing jello.

You might want to send an e-mail to the support people at Hobbico about that. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Believe it or not all the windings in a motor are insulated with something like a thin lacquer. I don't know the exact chemical but the stuff can become hot enough to melt or char and wire shorts can occur thereafter. If things were smelling burnt I'd be concerned. If the bearings didn't push...

I was looking at that and following a thread about it elsewhere. It's still got a few issues yet based upon user reports.

Agreed. Most don't explore much beyond what they find most convenient. The flip and roll flyers will use Acro a lot. Photographers would use Atti. APM provides Altitude Hold, Position Hold, and Loiter for that kind of operation, while adding a Simple or Super Simple option to assure the...

I'm not wanting to start a P3 versus Solo debate but the Solo should prove to be a far more capable and expandable platform. The H4-3D is a great unit but you have to be flying DJI to use it. I've been flying a Pixhawk for close to a year and would not trade it for 10 A2's. Unless I had...

With APM or Pixhawk that would be called "Stabilize". Altitude is not held.

When ya'll settle on a gimbal, post some notes. I'm looking for one to handle an a6000 as well. The guys are right about the single support gimbals. They wear out bearings quick. Where you out of Pepper? Perhaps there's more near you than you know.

Hard to understand how a kid has to grow up with a parent like that. To experience what should be one of the best parts of life in a state of constant disappointment. I wonder how many other ways his Dad's drug needs cause the kid to suffer.

I don't think you'll find as many that disagree with your concerns here. Some of us have also experienced the "love" customers receive from DJI.

My personal experiences has always shown a 3 blade propeller to be less "efficient" than a two blade in modeling activities. That experience continued with the use of three blade propellers on small UAV's. In all cases the props were used on fixed pitch, fixed wing applications. Three blade...

He should not need to. The reference material is all over the web for those that choose to do their own due diligence. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Production will be limited to Chinese manufacturers simply because of significantly lower labor and material rates, sling with whatever subsidies the Chinese government provides for their businesses. In doing this quality standards will never be, well, quality standards. Luck of the draw is...
