I apologise for an inappropriate rant...

I trying to get clear in my head the consequence of a degrading GPS signal with respect to flight mode and fail-safe on the WKM. At what point will the WKM automatically switch from GPS to Atti mode? Am I right in thinking it is when the number of locked satellites is 5 or lower (i.e. 2 or 3...

I'm currently finishing off my Operations Manual and have a general question regarding the Technical Specification section that I hope someone can answer. Included in the Technical Specification templates issued by my QE are sections for everything ranging from the craft, camera, batteries and...

I'm fed up with pulling my hair out trying to work out what does and does not work on DJI's GroundStation software. I'm at the stage where I dont know whether it is me making the mistakes or the software not doing as describe in the manual; assuming I am interpreting the chinglish in the manual...

Hi guys, I'm thinking of changing my setup and it would be really useful to get some input from others. My current setup is in my sig. Soon after I built my skyjib I had a feeling that I'd made a mistake with my motor choice. I originally went for the lower kv Tiger MN4014-11 motors and 15...

I'm trying to find a dealer in the UK or Europe that stocks 16 inch Tiger propellers but they seem to be rarer that rocking horse sh*t. Anyone know when I might find some?

I was going to post this in the CAA war path thread but thought it may be taking that thread slightly off topic so have decided to start a new thread. I am a bit confused by the 400 ft rule. In the back of my mind, I remember being told at the Ground School course that the 400 ft ceiling...

I currently running WKM Assistant 2.04 and am trying to upgrade the WKM firmware from version 5.24 to 5.26 but it fails every time. I must be doing something stupid but cant work out what. This is how I'm trying to do things. Firstly I turn on my tx and power up my craft normally (6S lipos)...

I'm getting totally confused trying to get 14 channels out of my Futaba 14SG radio. The radio gives 12 full proprotional channels and 2 additional digital (on/off) channels. I running the 14 SG with two R7008SB receivers. The primary receiver connects to the SBUS of my WKM, an additional servo...

In a nutshell, I am finding it hard to decide between the Z15 GH2 with secraft conversion kit and the Z15 GH3 and any input would be really appreciated. I will be carrying the GH3 although I dont have the Olympus 12mm lens yet. I would like to be able to rebalance for ND filters which I know has...

I'm wanting to add a second receiver to my set up and am looking for a bit of advice. I have just got a Futaba 14SG and R7008SB receiver. I want to run 8 channels through the R7008SB receiver; these will be the 7 I need for WKM control and 1 additional for retractable landing gear. I would...

I currently use a Spektrum DX8 radio and up to now, 8 channels has just about been enough for my needs. I've just about completed a new build (coaxial octo with WKM) and definitely need more channels. I dont theink the 9 channels offered by the DX9 will be enough so I'm limiting my decision...

I'm having a few problems with a new coaxial skyjib X4 build (6S, 4014-11's, 15 x 4.5, approx 8.5 kg). I'm thinking/hoping the problem may lie with the motor and propeller alignments which I plan to check tomorrow. For now, I'm just scouring the internet for any relevent info. Any pointers as...

Hi guys I think I've messed up with my calculations and am I'm hoping to get some advise on motor and prop selection (or maybe I should say reselection) for a skyjib X4 build. The AUW will be between 8.5 and 10kg (depending on camera), running of 6S cells (currently 2 x 6000 mAh) with...

Hi I'm part way through a new Skyjib X4 build and need a little advice. I will be running MN4014-11 motors with 15” beech props from two parallel 6S lipos. Mainly, I will be carrying a GH3 for video but also a NikonD800E for still aerial photography. I will probably be using the besteady one...
