Hopefully you folks will get a laugh from this story. I got hooked into the multirotor world during the group build in the spring of 2014 - building a F45o which was fun to build and relatively easy to fly. Being eager for more fun and the opportunity to learn I next built a quad based on one...

A genuine nubie question here - I am in the process of doing a quad build project with my grandson. For flight control we are using a Naza Lite and for communication we are presently using a JR 9503 and a Spektrum AR 610 6 ch receiver. My plan is to get something like a Spektrum DX6 for...

I am trying to load and use the NAZA Assistant for the first time. The program loads fine but when I try to register it takes me to a webpage titled "Error Exception....." with a bunch of programing looking stuff. Am I missing something fundamental here or is the registration system broken?

Great Forum. Lots of valuable info. Hoping to build a quad soon.
