    Zhaoyun rolling a few degrees

    Last night I got the roll axis assigned to a channel and make it tweakable via my Taranis. Testing out in the field today. I'll just bring a bubble level with me and check the gimbal before flight.

    Zhaoyun rolling a few degrees

    Ok I had it level in the shop. Outside its fairly cold, probably the 30's. Roll was off quite a bit. Definitely temperature related. I'll be looking into setting up a roll trim knob. Thanks Hexcrafter.

    Zhaoyun rolling a few degrees

    That makes sense. Thanks for the response. I do have the extra channels available so I could definitely hook up a roll trim knob on my taranis. I DID just spend a couple of hours playing with balancing it with some fishing egg sinkers made of lead. I've got it well balanced (I think). It...

    Zhaoyun rolling a few degrees

    Looking for some advice. I have an Arris Zhaoyun 3-axis gimbal with a NEX-5T. It isn't balanced well and perhaps that's part of the issue, but it worked okay for a while without a super balance. Indoors when powering up it usually sets up level and right. Out in the field it rolls a few...

    XAircraft XAIRCRAFTAMERICA.com---Do Not Buy

    Bummer to hear all this. I ordered my SuperX 11 months ago and it was out of stock. In 2-3 weeks stock arrived and i received my unit (around Feb 2014). I had some troubles getting it running due to being a newb and Drew helped me out big. His advice was key in getting me airborne. So my...

    XAircraft SuperX

    I tried changing the endpoints because others who had the same issue as me did that and it did the trick. I'm not actually sure it was a center point issue. My issue was that not all the motors would arm all the time. Setting the lower endpoint to -89 instead of -100 for esc calibration, then...

    XAircraft Superx what voltage?

    My SX/hexa would NOT work when I supplied power to the SX from a BEC. It HAD to be hooked up directly from the 6S power. I messed with it for a long time and Drew told me to hook up the power directly.

    XAircraft SuperX

    I ended up having to tweak my endpoints and center point on my taranis quite a bit to get it right. 15 pound 960 hex.

    I almost never use the G knob. 1.2 is nailed for me I suppose. When I change the G knob it seems to get squirly.

    Their suggested starting point is 1.0, but with the size/weight/props/motors on my hexa, 1.2 is the ticket for MY setup. Yours may be different.

    XAircraft SuperX

    While I can't say that G value of X equals a gui value of X, my interpretation has always been: 1. Work to make the GUI value the best overall number for basic flight. For me that's 1.2. Flies well in calm or wind. 2. Once #1 is done, G knob helps adjust for wind or changes in flight weight.

    Maybe I missed it before, but what's the question you're trying to get answered?

    I guess fortunately for me I'm not enough of a power user to need those questions answered. I managed to build a nice large hex and it flies!

    I picked up my SX from XAircraft america and have had great service and responses. Never had to deal with China fortunately.

    Wall Street Journal report, FAA regulations

    As someone who is looking to build a business, I WANT there to be licenses and safety guidelines to protect myself, my clients, and the public. That would help separate me from a user who just bought a "toy." That said, a pilot's license is WAY over the top and not reasonable.

    XAircraft SX Issue with Yellow LED

    Some theorize solar flares could be a cause for this.

    XAircraft SX Issue with Yellow LED

    I've had that happen twice in about 150 flights. My GPS was not far from the batteries in the center of the craft. Since then I've put it on a post much higher and have not had the issue.

    I run probably 30 websites so I understand how much work they can be... I'm not a fan of the narrower width. I've got a LOT of unused square footage on my monitor. It makes reading and using the site less enjoyable.

    P1.2 FC not straight

    Haven't flown my P 1.2 much lately since I built my hexa. I thought I'd get her running again for situations where I need a smaller bird. So I fixed up some wiring and such. When I had it open I noticed the FC was not perfectly straight. It was rotated 15 degrees or so counter-clockwise. I...
