Congrats! Well done! I'm glad you didn't let a few surprise sparks a couple weeks ago keep you from flying! As for the yaw/rotation, you checked exactly the first thing I would have suggested: GPS position. Check also the IMU position just to cover all bases.

The doc says it passes it through if its a 3S battery, and that otherwise it outputs 11.2V. On my 450 and 550 won't be a prob. On the S800 I run 6S, which is why I asked. I figured the 11.2 should be fine, but just thought I would ask. Thx!

Louis, I am actually still "building" my case. I drew these up, then I got super busy. But I have to have it ready in a couple weeks because I'm gonna be traveli with it. After I bought my pelican case is when I got my anti-vide kit; now it's gonna be a little tight height-wise. If I can, I...

kloner, I'm about to buy myself one of these that you recommended. Have you wired it from the DJI iOSD? From the photo you posted, it looks like you are using the iOSD. Can I run the voltage output to the camera? The iOSD documentation says that the output is 11.2V, but the camera doesn't...

The easiest way to do that is to find a monitor that uses as 12V DC input. The smaller the monitor, the higher the chances you will find one like that. By the time you get to 19" monitors, the chances of finding VDC run monitors begins to dwindle. But if it takes 12VDC input, then it's a...

I would see what others think before going off and buying something else. I know that the 8J does use frequency hoping, which was my initial concern before you mentioned it was the 8J. I know many people like the 8J and it has faired well for them.

Can you tell us what things are in common between the two setups? Same Wookong+GPS? Same transmitter/receiver? Same... what else?

I'm almost exactly like deanot... 7" monitor + 5.8GHz receiver from a 3S 2650 LiPo.... x2 (1 for pilot, 1 for camera op)

I went the same route as Louis did. My design puts the S800+Zen+Retracts, etc, in a 1610, but requires the legs to be removed as Louis shows, and requires sliding off the Zenmuse.

You and me both. I still only touch Manual when I feel I need to do some training. Even Attitude is still a little bit out of my confort zone, but I'm trying to be proficient in all modes. From my understanding, yes. For example, I hear that the percentage of Phantom fly aways is much much...

It was more of a question, but yes, the transmitter and receiver can be equally at fault as anything else... Especially for flyaways. It sounds like it is one of the parts in common between your two builds, as are possibly others. Based on what I've understood, it's hard to single out...

Now you're getting into that SBus2 stuff I mentioned, and I am not well versed in that... yet. Basically you need a Transmitter/Receiver pair that talk both directions, as well as a receiver that supports two-way communication with onboard devices. (At least, that's how I understand it from...

Funny, Bart!

I am guessing so only because the S800 frame has the IMU spot which is designed to have 1mm around the IMU, and it also support the V2... But this is just my guess. Maybe someone that has them both in hand can confirm.

I had heard that DJI had to delay manufacturing due to some issues identified along the way. Last I heard was early fall. I, too, have read on this forum about one gentleman that did get his, but I don't know the conditions under which that occured... such as, was he a distributor and did he...

I agree with Ben. It is clear that you are very methodical in how you are approaching this whole business, and equally thorough in writing up what you have done. I am very sorry for the two very costly accidents you had. I have had one such costly accident, and I know the feeling. After the...

We're all small children at heart here in this forum. We all just love our toys and playing with them, and some can actually make some money off of it and fulfill their inner small child, and make papa proud at the same time. ;)

Oh, SBus is not limited to sending data to FCs such as the Naza or Wookong. It is widely used on all types of remote control aircraft. In those cases you use "smart" servos that you can connect to the SBus and know which device or channel ID to respond to, and act accordingly. Or you can use...

When configuring a Naza or Wookong, one of the first questions at the top is "Tradition" versus "PPM" versus "Dbus". The Dbus setting is basically saying "Sbus" which is a Futaba specific protocol. It's one servo wire that supports up to 18 devices (16 proportional controls and 2 discrete...
