Thanks for the ideas. I'll give each of them try as soon as the weather cooperates a bit. It's forecast to have a bit of everything that you could ask for over the next couple of days, except for clear skies.

The Vtx (Immersion's 600 mw on 5.8) doesn't seem to have any impact on the GPS lock speed. I don't even have it on-board at the moment and it still took more than 5 minutes just to get to 2 red's. The only thing consistently transmitting is Spectrum's telemetry module. If there are no other...

Has anyone looked for or found an alternative to DJI’s GPS/Compass module? I am usually in the “wait 5 to 10 minute” camp to get to 2 or fewer red flashes. Then there are times I get a lock on the first floor of my 2 story house! I’d like to find a unit that will reliably acquire the GPS...

What is your all up flying weight with the larger 6S batteries? I recently moved to the same frame using 4s batteries and MT 2814's for motors from another multi. I'd like to take advantage of the the longer arms to turn bigger props but the motors are tapped out with props larger than about...

What I have wondered is does it matter if you rotate with the nose up? Or would it be better to rotate nose down? What is optimal? Does it matter?

My weight was coming in at 2775 gr. I am running the a 4S 5000 and getting solid 10 minute flight times, before it cold at least. I am using DJI's ESCs and 2212 motors with 10" Graupner's...

Yikes, This thing looks like it has the same DJI 10 x 4.5 props that we know and love! Maybe they they work better in white! Doesn't look like there is an easy way to replace those arms either. Just thinking ahead...

Maybe this will help. I had the same question. http://www.multirotorforums.com/showthread.php?7210-3rd-Party-ESC%E2%80%99s

Thanks for the tips. Yes, these ESC’s have a built-in BEC so I’ll be trimming the red wires. Actually, I am planning to add a short servo extension and cut the red wires on the extension. I thought this would be better than altering the ESC for the rest of its life. About setting the...

Gentlemen, I need to set up some Turnigy Plush 30 amp ESC’s for use with my WKM. I noticed on page 9 of the manual that the midpoint needs to be set at 1520us (milliseconds I think). How can I set this or verify that this value is set correctly? And what’s up with cutting the red wire? I...

You’re right about the mode not having any impact on dynamics of flight. Atti-mode provides altitude hold and some positive control stability, meaning that when the stick is released, the flight controller will maintain a level attitude. If you have some forward momentum and let go of the...

Sold. Thanks EBAY!

So…. Does anyone know what the downside of violating the existing prohibition here in the U.S. is? The only actions I have seen so far have been receiving a “cease and desist order”. What am I missing?

I just countersunk the bottom the stock DJI Prop nuts a touch. Just enough to get the nut a bit further down on the shaft...

I have that same gear and camera mount. I ended up making a couple of rails out of some small aluminum L stock. I mounted these rails on the top side of the camera mount that comes with the landing gear. Two short pieces of aluminum tubing mount the CX113 to the rails. There wasn’t enough...

I am looking for some tips on lipo’s and balance charging. I have been flying a single 4S 5000mAh 65C battery for the past 4 months or so. I am getting decent flight times with this battery. I bought this when I was a fresh green noob and have always wondered if there is something better out...

Just as a follow up to the crash I reported on this thread. I was caused by a bad motor. I ended up swapping out motor #6 on the 550 and it has been performing very well since.

I have been using the Photohigher mount you mentioned. It’s ok but but the main roll bearing has been popping out on me from time to time. I have also been struggling to get the gains set right so that the video is nice and smooth. I am also flying a 550 with the Aeroxcraft gear which has...
