    Tau Labs Ode to my Build

    I needed a project; something to make. I only had two ‘copters for heaven’s sake. I went to the forums; read every post. Looking for something that interested me most. Looking everywhere while surfin’ the ‘Net. Maybe FPV; haven’t been there yet. Looking thru goggles while buzzin’ the sky...

    Camera Resolution vs. Display Resolution

    Probably a dumb question, but here goes... If I have a display that has, say, 300-line resolution, why would I need/want a camera that provides a greater number of lines of resolution? From my experience with televisions and computer monitors, providing a higher resolution signal to a lower...

    Flying Question

    Probably an obvious answer, but I can't figure it out. So here goes... My flying experience is based on fixed-wing aircraft, both real & R/C. In forward flight, if I want to make a turn, I simply bank and pull back on the elevator. The plane rolls and makes a coordinated turn in the...

    I Assume it's the Gains...

    I need some guidance from the experts. I'm having difficulty getting my non-GPS, Naza-powered F450 to hover (and fly) smoothly---it seems to constantly be "hunting" in both pitch & roll. Not a lot, but enough that the horizon in my videos oscillates back-and-forth constantly. The 'copter is a...

    I've Seen the Light

    I've been skeptical of the numerous claims of DJI props breaking in flight. I kept saying to myself (and others), "How can this happen?" Last night I experienced it for myself. While flying from my side yard, at about 30 feet in altitude, my F450 (with stock DJI props) fell from the sky...

    Multiple Naza-powered Multis - Programming Question

    I have a Naza-powered hexa, and will soon have a Naza-powered quad. I'm wondering what is the preferred method of setting up different 'copters via the Assistant software? Do you use the same instance of the Assistant software for both a quad and a hexa (in my case)? Or do you setup a...

    An Unconventional GoPro Mount

    In an attempt to eliminate viewing the landing gear feet and the forward engine mount from videos taken from my GoPro mounted to my gimbal, I came up with the following. I attached an aluminum tube (same material as the frame arms) to the x468 Landing Gear and mounted the GoPro to the end of it...

    Nikon V1 as an Option

    Attached is an aerial photo and a video taken with a Nikon V1. The photo is a 3-panel panorama; the video taken at 720x60p then slowed down 50%. The photo was processed in Photoshop CS5; the video in iMovie. The video was edited for content, but no stabilization was applied. These are...

    Would FPV Help or Hinder Me?

    Background...Three years ago I lost the vision in my right eye due to a freak accident. Prior to that, I did AP from an R/C airplane. With vision in only one eye, I have no depth perception which makes flying R/C planes difficult---basically I can't judge proximity to objects like trees...

    Help with dialing out yaw.

    I just completed my hexa using a Naza FC. It flys really nice and stable, but has a very slow counterclockwise yaw when in the air. It's most noticeable when hovering and I want to snap a picture. Every other aspect of the hover is stable---like it was sitting on a shelf, but there's a...

    Home-brew Hexa with Naza

    I cannibalized my Naza F450 kit to create a larger, more powerful hexa. In spite of having a bit of finishing touches left (like covering/hiding the electronics), I must say I’m really pleased with the first couple of brief test flights. Still to do is some fine tuning of the flight controls...

    Naza Gimbal Manual Control Speed

    The Naza manual, under Gimbal, states:The STEP4: Manual Control Speed Range: 0 to 100 You should assign one of the knobs on your transmitter to X1 channel for controlling the Pitch direction (angle) of camera gimbal during flight first. Then adjust the reaction speed of pitch direction manual...

    Naza Hexa

    Is there a preferred Naza hexa configuration +6 vs. x6 in terms of stability/control (never mind the location of the motors/props)? If so, why? Thanks. Jack
