Hi guys, Have had to dremel a groove into one of the prop screws to get it off, so I can attach Dennys adaptors. Some of those DJI screws are so soft it's ridiculous. One turn and hex became as smooth as butter. Problem I now have is I can hear and feel the friction from the motor as some of the...

Thanks APVXtreme, Having just re-read all 38 pages of this thread I have decided to give the APC's a try first. Would like to try the Graupners but I agree with Denny in regards to safety. Blunting the APC's will be my first priority ! Eoin

Hey all, A set of Dennys prop adaptors are currently winging their way to me. This is a very interesting thread. So now that a lot of the props have been tried out, what's the consensus in regard to the best ones ? Personally I'm looking for smooth and stable on my S800. APC, Xoar or Graupner ...

This is interesting. I've often thought I'd like to build a waterproof rig. My questions would be, 1. How might it affect motor performance ? 2. How might it affect ESC heat ? Can it effectively let the heat dissipate without undue stress on the ESC or the waterproof coating ? 3. What about the...

Hi apeman88, Sorry for your misfortune ! Do you happen to know if all the crashes were with non DJI ESC's ? This would help pinpoint the cause. Regards Eoin

More a desperate thought. I'm not going to try it. I'll just have to let her down. Can't think of anyway around it.

Thanks Ferdinand I kind of thought that, but was hoping anyway. I can get one in a few days, but I had promised to do some aerial shots on Monday morning for a friend who is doing a web based video. I really don't want to let her down as I have promised for months to do it. The shots are quite...

Hi all, I have a damaged ESC in my S800 and no way to get a replacement at the moment. Does anyody know if it's possible to wire in a standard 40A ESC strapped to the the offending arm, as a workaround, or is there a reason why I shouldn't do this ? Thanks Eoin

Thanks Kloner for your reply. In the assistant it switches between start and standby but it doesn't affect failsafe. Failsafe is working perfectly when I switch off the radio. I also have it set to 50% throttle. I have played with my endpoints and subtrims to set the indicator into the center of...

Hi all, I've just configured a switch on my futaba T8FG for go home. I haven't been using that option up till now. Everything is working perfectly on the assistant but I'm just wondering if the blue LED should flash the same as failsafe ? At the moment when I flick to go home, the assistant...

Sorry to hear of your troubles gencode ! These are interesting. How big are they ? How heavy ? I'd imagine you would need about 7 of them to float an S800 with Zenmuse and camera :) Anyone ?

Well I didn't get a chance to fly waypoints with the Zenmuse Yesterday, because of high winds, but I did get to fly with the dummy weight. I can confirm that it works brilliantly. There a few things I need to figure out such as rate of ascent while traveling to a waypoint, but all in all I'm...

I'm planning to test it out with the Zenmuse tomorrow. This evening I am going to remove the Zenmuse and mount a dummy weight, then do some extensive testing on the waypoint system. If all goes well I'll remount the Zenmuse for tomorrows flying. Hopefully a splitter won't take long. I don't...

I have to agree with Denny. The S800 is a really nice machine. The only problems I have had with stability were my own fault. As soon as I got her dialed in correctly she behaved perfectly. In fact after being out of the air for two weeks I finally got my replacement ESC's installed this morning...

Hi all, Just wondering if anybody is using 5.8Ghz on their S800 ? I have both Fatshark 100mW and Immersionrc 25mW transmitters and Fatshark googles and Immersionrc receiver. I am also using circular polarised and skew planner antennas. No matter which combination, I get picture breakup that is...

Thanks suddenincline. Going to give it a try. Can always move it if it becomes a problem.

Hi all, My F450 has been lying idle for a few months since I took my Wookong out of it for my S800. Today I'm installing a Naza onto it and turning it into an FPV rig. I've settled on the layout and ideally would like to place the VU-Led close to the receivers position. Before I do, does anyone...

Hi, Hobbyking stock some ultra bright LEDs in a variety of colours. http://www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/store/uh_viewItem.asp?idProduct=8944 I've had good luck with them. They are super bright and quite reasonably priced !

Hex Junky. Yeah it's pretty much the same principle. More fun to do yourself though :tennis: You can use the pro mini for RGB as well !

Here's the video http://vimeo.com/45996185 Skivvie, I was only thinking of navigation initially, but yes I think there are a few options for mirroring the WKM LED that I could try. As for tighter integration, thats beyond me.
