    CarbonCore Cortex....Owners' Thread

    Because we're all out flying!! Just kidding. Your rig is looking great! Glad you've made good progress with it. As far as fpv equipment, I just mounted that all under the bottom deck. Mine is pretty messy right now. I have the Zen control module (I'm sure DJI has some fancy name for it), an...

    CarbonCore Cortex....Owners' Thread

    I'm very tempted to try this as well. My Cortex seems to yaw alright, my problem is that when I do a slow pirouette (~10-20 seconds per full 360 degree), instead of spinning around it's center, it makes about a 20-30 foot circle. I do have my measurements correct on my IMU and GPS puck placements.

    Yeah, I have heard that so many times with DJI products. And I agree. I feel like my ~$12k I've spent on DJI equipment should get me on their payroll as a R&D engineer. Yup. I totally agree. I bet it would feel good with the standard length legs, but with the longer ones for the Zenmuse, it...

    I'm not the only one that has mentioned this and I'm nearly 100% certain you can not. I think it's practically a bug on DJI's part. They would probably say it isn't, because I believe that they have their s800/s1000 in mind. It is really strange. If you reverse the channel on your TX, it will...

    CarbonCore Cortex....Owners' Thread

    I'm trying to share (ah, well, remember) all the details about the retract thing. Here are a couple more notes. Since you can't adjust the endpoints, it just so happens to be about right on the travel. Though I'd like them to retract up a bit more. As it is, they are pretty much straight out to...

    The retract solution! Sounds good to me :) Here is some more info on the A2/retract saga. Here is what I've tried: 1.) DJI A2 - F1 output to factory installed Cortex retract servos. No good. Like a few of us mentioned, it's always backwards (ie. A2 assistant always shows the gear up when...

    I ordered them from here. Shipping from UK to US was insane, but the screws are quite inexpensive. Hopefully they'll arrive soon. http://www.pts-uk.com/Products/Machine_Screws_TX_Countersunk_Machine_Screws

    Honestly, I'm not using it. I've got a bit more to do to the retracts, then I'll post some more info on it. Any regulator should work just fine if you don't want to power it off the rx, which is probably safer not to.

    Here's a little video while I was testing the retracts today.

    Hey Quinton, let me see how many times I can quote you in one post :tennis: I second that. If you do, just take one side apart at a time so you have something to reference. I ordered a bunch of stainless Torx screws for mine as someone else suggested. I just like Torx better anyway. I have...

    I have only tried the standard that CC is selling with the aRTF (15"x5 top and 16"x5.4 bottom). But I do have a full set of each, so I'll definitely experiment. Here's another one. What so you guys think about this? He claims that there is yaw issues from having all top props spin on direction...

    CarbonCore Cortex....Owners' Thread

    I really don't either. I can't see any problems with mine (having an A2 in it), besides not being able to set the limits of the retract servos when plugged into F1 (to be able to use the "intelligent" gear control option). Which for now I'll certainly try Quinton's suggestion of using the F3...

    Hey all, MrTarango, thanks for the link. I'm going to try a set of those. I might also machine some sort of insert that I can slip into the leg so I can possibly cut them in half and have a quick release of some sorts so the long landing gears can be "shortened" for transport (to fit in a...

    Hey all, I'm obviously new here, but thought that I'd share a few of my experiences so far. I also bought a aRTF Cortex and have had it a couple weeks now. I have a few questions still, but it's going good. Here is what I'm running: CarbonCore Cortex aRTF DJI A2 DJI Zenmuse Z15n Zenmuse with...
