Hi Hi, I don't fly in FPV mode but I like the dead band in non-orientation mode as it softens your yaw movements. I do a lot of single operator work and do use course lock (zenmuse) for steady video. A little yaw movement can ruin an otherwise great shot. I also use a two man setup but just...

I've been recommending to people to go for the GH2 version as there have been no complaints about it at all. It just works. I have not heard of anyone having an issue with the dampening balls system either. I thought it might be beneficial as in an incident with the ground the balls should just...

Well, the Phantom will only lift a Gopro. I would actually recommend starting with a Gopro type system to start with and learn the basics before you consider a heavier lifter which can lift a Sony Nex and up. The Phantom 2 seems like a good starting point as all the accessories you need really...

I think the standard is changing as time goes on. Without an airworthiness certificate the air-frame number doesn't mean too much IMHO. I think the future will involve airworthiness certs for all aircraft. EuroUSC do one for £2000 but I'm not really sure what it involves. Do they stress test...

Longer flight times and the motors run cooler. I also found the handling better as the RPMs are higher. All good?

3.75/3.80 would be better. PS - I went 4S and it's a world of difference!

Hi Dave! I have gone through the RPQ-S fully and the ground school for the BNUC-S. I believe the main differences with the RPQ-S are: You are certified on a system (in my case I'm certified on the DJI S800 with WKM). This means I can get a fleet of S800's and not have to retake a flight...

Hey mate, just saw your reply pop up. Important! 80% rule is 80% of the mah of the pack. If you're using a 3300mah pack and put back in 3205mah then you took that lipo down to 3%! You should put back in 2640mah for 80%. Also, don't rely on the red flashing light (low voltage warning). Instead...

Welcome to the forum! If you're going to spend $1000 on RTF you might as well build it yourself. You'll learn a lot more. I would recommend getting a good transmitter. A transmitter is likely going to be with you for a long time. Just my 2 cents. Cheers!

What kind of glitches have you been having with your ImmersionRC tx? I use the same one and it's solid out to 2000m. The antennas are the most important part, especially the rx. Little patch antennas increase your rx range and quality a great deal. A 3 skew plantar for the tx I find works great.

Woohoo! You'll love it! If you want to come and visit I'm not far away. If I'm not on a job you're welcome to stay over for a bit less travelling in the morning. I assume you're gong to the one at Cotswolds airport near Kemble?

Great stuff! Welcome aboard my good man!

It's fine to start adjusting gains with the knob. That's how I did it in the beginning. Adjust until you are happy with how it performs. Start at 100% and work your way up. Just remember not to adjust the knob again until you have looked in the assistant and can see how much you've adjusted it...

I can't see it in the manual either but when some new firmware came out last summer a number of people mentioned it.

I use the Graupner 9x5 also. Great props and smooth. Why not just start with the best eh? They feel very brittle so probably won't survive a crash too well, so just don't crash. There's no reason to crash on these GPS rigs. Good luck!

Let us know how the flight goes!

Yeah, expect three flashing red LEDs inside. Outside wait for the red to go away, you'll need to be in a reasonably open place. Do the compass calibration once the RED LEDs have stopped. Then you're ready to go!

No need to apologise! I needed new underwear after my first flight! Yes, you've got it, slowly increase throttle above 50% and it should take off. I personally use GPS mode, it works really well and is pretty impressive. You sure the controls move the correct way in the assistant...

Hey mate, All normal! The motors only reach idle speed under 50% throttle in ATTI and GPS. It's a safety feature to stop you flipping on the ground if you give stick inputs. All will be well in flight! :tennis:

The little shake isn't normal either. There's still something going on. Has your S800 been crashed at all? The little shake seems to be back to front so it could still be a problem with that front motor number 1. Have a really good look at that arm and connections. Test it on the bench and...
