    Motor Speed, efficiency and flight time!

    Some time ago I noticed on this forum that someone had indicated propeller speeds must be kept below 80% of the speed of sound. It reminded me of something I read some time ago on this topic. Today I found that info and thought it would be good to post it here for other who are curious. Turns...

    Gimbal competition?

    This item seems to indirectly compete, at least in price, with the 2 and 3 axis gimbals we are trying to use for MRs. Weight, wireless interfacing and control override may remain an issue but price looks good. http://www.gigapan.com/cms/shop/epic

    Selling 6 Turnigy MultiStar Pan Motors

    These have been used/flown about 10 times so far on my DIY RCT800 equipped with DJI WKM-GPS...... While I am very pleased with them, I underestimated my planned AUW and have since ordered higher thrust 22 pole Turnigy Multistar pan motors to replace these. I paid $31 each plus shipping from...

    WKM S800 loses altitude when flying forward

    Seems to me that I read somewhere that it is possible to adjust basic and attitude gains to ensure the MR does not lose or gain altitude while flying forward, sideway, backward etc. But I can' seem to locate that info now. I am guessing that the vertical gain will control this..... Am I correct...

    Battery 2nd Level Protection 4 Landing

    There was a posting on this topic within the last few days. It explained how to adjust the vertical gain so that the MR would be able to land more slowly by itself when batteries get too low. Mine comes down a bit fast on 2nd level battery protection. Anyone know where that posting is?:nevreness:

    S800 Landing Gear

    Can anyone clarify if the conventional (not retractable) S800 landing gear has aluminum joint parts at the top of the CF landing gear? Seems from the photos I have looked at they DJI may have switched from original plastic or nylon joint parts to stronger but heavier aluminum parts. Also RC...

    HomeBuilt GoPro3 Gimbal

    For what it is worth..... A large 468 landing gear and gimbal assembly was modified to accomodate a new GoPro3. The short carbon fiber tubes were discovered to be carbon fiber arrow shafts. Longer tubes were cut and installed to add stronger support for larger and heavier MR. Plastic eave trough...

    FUTABA - Flying NAZA and WKM with One Transmitter

    If anyone is trying to fly both the NAZA and the WKM, they will find there are just enough differences to create some confusion initially. And confusion while flying is not a good thing! The LED lighting, colors etc. are similar in some respects then deviate because the WKM offer more colors and...

    First Level Voltage Protection

    When I accelerate my MR motors hard, the red led begins to blink indicating 1st level voltage protection but only momentarily (until I return to a lower throttle speed). Once the red led blinks consistently I land asap. I assume the intermittent red led blinking is because the motors, during...
