    Naza assistant

    Yes I can confirm what Gator says. I had a RTH incident . I was at about 200 ft , it returned to home at that altitude, descended to 60 ft ( 20 m), delayed for about 15 seconds then continued the decent to the original take off point. It was awesome to watch.

    X3 and Gimbal wiring to Naza V2

    FYI, the x3 camera that is on the Osmo is the same camera that is on the Inspire 1 Multirotor. You can buy an adapter plate/ gimbal for a multirotor and the x3 snaps onto it the same as it does on the Osmo. I would like to know how the wiring is configure ( if even possible) before I spend the...

    Multirotors are NOT Submarines.

    Hey Hexatiger, I had my hex take a swim last year as well. Only had one esc go up in smoke after I dried it out but I replaced all 6. Just the thought of that unknown down the road if the others start to deteriorate from the internal corrosion over time and I start to have unexplained failures...

    lipo wont fully charge.

    I always balance charge as well and charge at 1c charge rate. I must admit I have taken mine down to 80% a few times. My break in procedures may not have been text book as well. Do you have a couple of preferred brands you like to use.??

    Yaw rotation stops after 270 degrees.

    Hi Sleepy C, I do have 70% expo on the rudder channel, but I have had since day 1. (this problem is fairly recent) It gives slow smooth rotational speed for panning. When I go to monitor mode on my DX7s and watch the slider it appears to move smoothly and proportionately. Hexacrafters suggestion...

    LiPo cell failure midflight destroys my F450. Some questions.

    Hey rocket man,sorry to hear about your failure. It does make me feel a lot better about my decision to not solder my leads to the pdb.

    lipo wont fully charge.

    Thanks econfly. It is a full 1/10 off which doesn't bother too much ,the cells are close enough together in voltage. I always balance charge my batteries, every time. What bothers me is the charger doesn't shut off because the battery isn't reaching full charge. All my other batteries, 3 & 4...

    ESC Terminal blocks / Pros or Cons

    That's what I did with my Tarot 680. Even though it had solder pads on a PDB, I felt the solder pads could be a weak point , especially on a folding frame. I just took two pieces (one for + and one for - ) of 1/2" X 1/2 " alum. about 1 1/2 " long and drilled bunch of tapped holes to connect...
