    Motor angle dihedral What’s the deal with this?

    Huh? The dihedral angle is a fix for the controller?

    Question about fail safe and signal loss

    I'm not sure what the problem is. Everything looked fine to me! Remember GPS accuracy is only +/-2m horizontally and +/-0.5m vertically. It looked like it was within those parameters. The one thing you didn't mention or change is the gains you're using as these have the biggest effect on...

    5.8Ghz power levels in the UK

    What license do you need to operate above 25mW on 5.8GHz in the UK? I would love to use a slightly higher power transmitter but currently just stick with 25mW. I wasn't sure you could use higher power even with a license for airborne use.

    DJI A2 Hands-on

    It shouldn't want to flip on take off. Don't worry about the green light in the IMU. That's not your problem. Did you calibrate it before the test outside with everything plugged in? In the assistant is the correct orientation of the IMU checked and the correct hexacopter setup (I think hexa V...

    Nokia Copter DJI S800 Zenmuse Z15

    Dude, I noticed on your website that all the videos on your home page start playing at the same time with all the voice overs jumbling together. Great site otherwise!

    AirStock - making money from Drone images/video

    Great idea! Heard about this on Twitter. Good luck with it. You've got my vote! I just signed up for Pond5 which covers any stock video/photo but AirStock looks even better.

    Motor angle dihedral What’s the deal with this?

    I also thought it was to help with stability when descending into the downwash as the downwash is cast outwards slightly.

    Naza M wont calibrate

    I thought it was between GPS and manual mode? I flick mine between GPS, ATTI and Manual 7 times if that helps.

    DJI OSD MarkII Black Screen but still shows OSD info... Remember MK1???

    I've not had a problem. The only time I got these same intermittent symptoms was a loose connection in the Zenmuse HDMI lead. Replaced the lead and problem solved.

    DJI WOOKONG-motor running while connected to a PC

    True, it shouldn't come on whilst connected. But a few people mention odd errors when using WKM for an OCTO setup. Does it happen everytime you do the same movement during the calibration? Sure it's connected properly?

    DJI WOOKONG-motor running while connected to a PC

    You performed a CSC and the motors started. Sounds like that was the problem. Just calibrate slightly differently next time without accidentally doing the CSC movement. Just do one stick at a time.

    Question about fail safe and signal loss

    Do what she said! Perfect!

    Busted and in Jail!!

    God damn it! I knew someone stupid enough would try it! If they'd only flown higher and had a release mechanism (plus some FPV) they probably would have pulled it off.

    Question about fail safe and signal loss

    Okay. Whilst connected to the assistant I think you go into servo setup on your DX6i. From there you alter the end points for the gyro. Flick the switch down (which is normally ATTI) and change the percentage. As you're changing it the green bar on the assistant should move. When failsafe is...

    Flying on Mountaintops at 12,000 feet - F550 Heavy Lift - Motors, props, NAZA vs WKM

    Just stick with the Naza for your F550. You'll probably be fine with the stock setup at that altitude. Go for 4S lipos for better efficiency and longer flight times. The 10" props should be more than enough. You may get shorter flight times than others experience, but like one minute less...

    Question about fail safe and signal loss

    The video helps. Couldn't quite make out the assistant but it looked like it didn't go into failsafe when you turned off the transmitter. That's the problem. It has not been bound in RTH. Re-bind again. When you turn off the transmitter the little bar should go into RTH (failsafe). If it's not...

    NAZA/F550 build done..no joy...need help from experts

    That's a complicated question. Go back to the assistant and check everything is acting as it should. Know what is supposed to happen and make sure it does. It sounds like a setup thing but without more information I couldn't guess what. Let us know how it goes.
