    Beware Wookong-M fantastic deal with 50 waypoints!

    As regards the WKM IMU v2, I've been told by an authorized dealer here in the US that it is no longer a trade-in item. I'm reasonably confident this is true since I received one for $240usd from them with no trade-in. This is fortunate because I didn't have a v1 to trade in, since I'm still...

    I am afraid to maiden my new S800 EVO

    Hi Chris, First thanks again for your helpful tips, perspectives, and advice, despite your shall we say mixed experiences with DJI and their products. As regards the WKM IMU v2, I've been told by an authorized dealer here in the US that it is no longer a trade-in item. I'm reasonably...

    Has GPS dumbed down this hobby?

    Has GPS dumbed down this hobby? I don't think so. I'm sure at some point someone asked, "Have Flight Simulators dumbed down this hobby?" But I think it's now accepted that simulator training is a vital component of learning to fly rc craft whether one is learning basic skills or new 3D...

    S800 Major Crash - The spin of death

    Yikes, there's some serious 'experience' being gained. BTW, which was going 30 mph, the car of the s800? If there were any particular lesson's learned that you care to share, I'm sure we'd be interested. If we learn for both our own and others' misadventures, it makes it harder to come up with...

    Wish I never bought this thing!!!!

    IOC Modes (Off, CL, HL) and Flight Modes (ATTI, GPS ATTI, Manual) So that sounds like a reasonable proposition, but it is not correct. Note the following is consistent with current NAZA firmware/documentation (v 3.16, 2013-08-07) and I think with more recent prior versions as well. Also...

    S800 minor crash (hard landing really) on first test flight with Zenmuse

    Wow, great video both technically and aesthetically! Post more after the weather clears up. One question, when you write: "I got 13 mins flying time (until auto land on low battery)", do you really mean auto land, as in fail safe or RTH? That might be flying too close to 'the edge'... Steve

    IMU Orientation Error = Unflyible?

    Thanks so much for sharing this experience, including the graphic video! Another failure mode for us all to keep in mind with a visual to reinforce it at a visceral level. Steve

    Significant Vibration In GPS Mode Only

    Never done WKM downgrade (or upgrade for that matter), but you need the earlier version of the DJI WKM Assistant SW (v2.00) that I believe will then connect to DJI servers and DL the earlier firmware (v5.22) and upload that into your WKM. The support/download page is obvious...

    How to call a copter with 18 (eighteen) motors....?

    Usual eye distance of 10mm?? What species? For humans its ~65mm. Could an adjusted Z15 handle two gopro H3s for 3D?

    The EVO Has Landed!!!

    Thanks for your plans to document your experiences with the EVO build and flight testing (and thanks for the pics). We'll be interested in your thoughts regarding what's good, bad, or unchanged. This is an exciting time for interested parties, even those whose prior experiences with DJI have...

    Significant Vibration In GPS Mode Only

    Well that's a lot of changes all at once. I assume the settings updates account for the change in position of the GPS antenna and the IMU. However, presence of vibrations in GPS ATTI mode, but not ATTI mode appears quite telling. As you note, hard to imagine that a single prop imbalance effect...
