Think of atti and GPS mode as not being a throttle but as a rate of decent/ascent demand stick. At centre you are demanding no rate of ascent/descent so regardless of weight the aircraft will hover as you move the stick up you are asking the machine to move up to lets say 2m/s ascent rate at 75%...

But what's the payload or are you just wanting to stay up for 30 mins for pure flying pleasure?

Steve, dont underestimate the importance of redundancy. How much testing do people like Rolls Royce put into their engines? What happened to the Quantas Airbus A380? I agree that Freefly have put in a load of time testing but things do still go wrong. Mean time between failures are a great...

Welcome to the addiction!

An M5 can just about handle a fully stripped down Epic with a very light lens on it but you are stretching its capability (this is not by design but people have done this with reasonable success I believe). For the sort of shoots that would want an Epic however, I doubt they would be happy with...

Anyway, to get your grey matter humming, look at using an x8 or flat 8 machine using 28ish inch props but make sure you look at high torque motors for these. Just bear in mind that one 28 inch prop set can cost in the region of £200 pre pair and a good motor would could cost £250 each so that's...

Timmy thanks for the response. I think the best way to get your answer is to learn about building multirotors first. Aircraft engineer or not, there is quite a lot of specialist knowledge in the electronics here and how the flight controllers work etc. Undoubtedly your knowledge will help but...

Timmy, what's your background in multirotors if you dont mind me asking?

You probably need to see if there is a new version of the Zenmuse assistant to pick up the latest firmware.

That the KDE combination is considerably better- much better response and flies sublimely. Sorry, kicked into touch is a phrase coming from the world of Rugby Football.

Flipping nora, how much?!!!! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I believe that in one of the Wookong updates they made declination automatic and since then that has followed through to the newer products.

Ahh nice touch by Freefly there.

Well I am now flying the folding blades and very nice they are too- very convenient which is why I bought them. I still dont buy the benefits of lead lag at all in this. I get that one blade might have a slightly different pitch to it that is paired other blade but by lead lag does nothing to...

What's velocity clamping? Is this where you get the aircraft up to a certain speed, flick a switch and it stays at that speed? If so DJI already have that on the A2 - it's called Cruise Control in DJI speak. I must admit that I find this feature excellent and very useful in certain situations so...

Home point in the A2 is recorded as you throttle up for the first time on each flight so it should have recorded. If it didn't then this would be a fault within the FC.

First thing is not to choose the drone. Choose the clients that you hope to provide a service too and then analyze their data requirements. This job is not about the drone, its about the data you collect- dont forget this. Once you understand the data requirements then find a sensor to gather...

Vulcan locking system is excellent. Very quick and very secure with a locking latch to ensure the arms cant fold even if the main cams come loose. My Vulcan is a work horse and I cant praise the air frame enough.

The Alta will be a lovely machine for sure but when flying that amount of cash I would want to know what the power on the motors is so that I know it can handle a motor out with a Red on it. On Wed we were flying a Red with a K35 lens on from a boat with pontoons in the middle of a lake. There...

Good stuff fltundra thank you.
