Also I see in the third graf from the bottom where it reads rudder and elevator, it should read rudder and throttle. I use Tapatalk and can't find how to re-edit something already posted.

After I wrote this, I saw that Tomstoy2 wrote what is probably a clearer explanation. I'll leave mine up for a while just so the vets can tell me if they think I've got another misconception or two (again, plain *** wrong for us Texans)

As a beginner ironing out a new machine and learning to fly (get a Blade mqX), here's what I've had the best luck with: Please note that this refers to Naza and a DX8 and flying in atti mode. First point that confused me: I kept reading about flying in atti mode and flying in manual mode...

I ordered a Blade mQx 2 months ago before I ever started my f550 build. Planned on using it as a trainer It was backordered and when I realized I would be flying my hexa before it ever got here, I cancelled the order. Well, it got shipped (and charged) to me anyway and I decided to keep it...

Actually I think the motors weren't spinning because he pulled the throttle below 10% when it shot up into the air. I don't blame him for that. There was a small pond downwind from where we were flying and he'd seen me being very cautious not to get anywhere near the water. I had told him...

Thanks Kloner, I'll work on it. Actually I am surprised that the few videos I've shot don't have more vibration. I just stuck the GoPro on there with a regular base mount and used an extension to raise it up so less of the props would be in the frame. Totally unbalanced props, I was surprised...

I've noticed that noise too but I'm pretty sure it was the camera mount. Last week I replaced a motor that was acting up. The bird was flying erratically and one motor seemed hotter than the others. I replaced it and everything was fine. Does anybody know where to get replacement bearing...

Yeah, it was no big deal. I felt worse for Johnny than anything else. He's one of the nicest guys I know and he felt terrible. I was gonna tear down the bird next week anyway and redo some stuff, add LED lights so it was gonna be down and apart anyway. I've got a Blade Mqx that is being...

http://youtube.com/watch?v=Ct_5fGhqjSs Went out to a friends house to get in some Sunday flying. My friend was dying to try it and I finally let him take the sticks "just for a minute.". How bad could it be? I'm just learning and I've crashed bunches. Just had to replace some props and I...

That's how mine worked too. I decided I just broke the LED in the VU module. Everything else works fine and the Naza manual has nothing about blinking green lights except on power up.

Been looking at this. Does anybody know how the LEDS on the VU work? I'm thinking that there is a red LED and a green LED and to create yellow they both flash together (additive color: red+green=yellow). I think I trashed the red LED and that's why I'm getting only green when it should show...

My VU blinks green in atti mode instead of yellow. When I power up it only blinks green. Was blinking red yellow green, four greens. Now only the green part is blinking. Looks like it just skipping the other colors. Made kind of a hard landing on a gutter (hey, won't learn playing it...

They say confession is good for the soul. As I built my F550 (first build) I thought I was very careful to check everything three times at least. Bundled wires neatly and followed all the recommendations I read on MRF. When I first tried out my copter, very erratic, flipped over, wouldn't...

Just to make sure I understand gains too. Do gains affect both the control input from the pilot and from the flight controller? In other words, will higher gains mean a faster reaction both to a stick movement and a control signal from a gyro or barometer?

I'm looking forward to hearing more about gains too. My understanding is that gains is the relationship (ratio) between control inputs and control outputs. My question is this pilot inputs only or does it also affect FC inputs? By this I mean, do gains only affect the inputs from the sticks...

Yeah, it's a complete fake, a promo for the new Call of Duty, but I'd file it under "Wouldn't It Be Great" --- I am here: http://tapatalk.com/map.php?0d3kyr
