Nice! Another step up the ladder we go!

Hi Jim! I find it gets rid of most of the vibes. Not perfect. My vids come out fine. Here's one from yesterday: http://youtu.be/mLCTuQyMORo Hope that worked. Bloody Tapatalk. I launch from a small box (you can see it at the beginning of my vids). But I land in my hand. The Gopro is easy...

Thanks mate! We should all meet up some time. When your bird is up and running fancy popping up North London? There's a few if us now. Mostly Helis but I only fly the F550.

Ps - Read up on Magnetic Declination. The manual states its importance. The US has quite a deviation in parts. In London it's just over 1degree so very small.

I believe basic is how it responds to your commands and the other how it responds to un-commanded inputs (the wind etc). I'm glad you noticed the difference between attitude and altitude. People are often getting it wrong and it becomes confusing. Altitude = Height. Attitude = Horizontal...

Hi. I run two in parallel and find the lipos have a much easier time and don't get warm. I run 3S but 4S is said to be more efficient. Stick with 4S in parallel.

I'm using 720 and 60fps to reduce vibes/jello. Yes, stills do suck a little.

Have you offset for magnetic declination? North is different depending on your location. A common cause of TBE as the Naza's corrections are slightly off.

Hi Guys! Thanks for all the comments. I'm in NW London too (Finchley area) and fly at Barnet Copthall Stadium. There's many fields (about 6 large ones plus a few smaller ones) and almost no dog walkers, just sports people who keep to themselves. I haven't changed my setup since posting this...

Hey Guys! I've been reading this forum for a few months now and have found a wealth of info. Thanks! I thought I'd add some background and post some pics as I know how helpful others pictures have been to me. I've been flying 450 size helicopters for three years and love it. For the heli guys...

It can be many things! Were you using the stock 10" props for instance?

I fly an F550 Naza with Gopro and Wifi BacPac and have not had a problem. Had around 50 flights using this setup.

Basically, yes. It is important to learn line of sight flying first as this is your default backup. If something goes wrong with your FPV equipment you're gonna have to fly the old fashioned way, by looking at it. Keep up with the sim. Practice orientation. When you got that down try for real...

Dude. It doesn't matter which way you're pointing in FPV (First person view). You are always looking the same way as you see what the bird sees. When looking from the ground and flying nose-in then yes, the controls are reversed and you'll just have to learn what to do. You've already got a sim...

Agreed. The assistant reads the individual naza settings and doesn't store them unless you export/import.

Great answer. It doesn't protect your lipo charging to only 4.1v. It's over discharging that you need to be careful of. And not leaving fully charged for long periods of time.

That's excellent info. Had never considered these effects.

My worst nightmare! It seemed very unstable from the outset. You can see the motor vibrating.

I just use an o-ring under the nut which provides friction and stops it undoing. I remove my blades for transport so threadlock isn't an option. Using Tapatalk, yeah?

Hi. There's only one setting. Attitude is not the same as Altitude. The vertical gain is how quickly it responds to your stick movements. Attitude gain is how quickly the Naza responds to attitude changes (I guess attitude is horizontal stability). Using Tapatalk, yeah?
