    Arm length to prop size.Pros/cons

    Tarot 650 I have X4108S 600KV sunnys and have some 1455 on the way 4S 5000 (AUW 2300) Would having longer arms provide better stability?This is a very slow flying build. Here is mock prop setup pic 14'' http://imgur.com/fSJDngM

    Linear throttle in atti/gps mode

    I came across this.Sounded interesting for those of us that dont like the 50% throttle takeoff.I ahave a few minis and like the linear throttle 100% better then nazas 50% thing. First get gps homelock (repetitive greens)switch to manual,arm in manual mode,bring throttle up 3/5% then switch to...

    Cant decide.700kv or 600kv sunnysky (Solved)

    I already have 1344 Beechwood props.My AUW is 2172(680 alien)I have tried Ecalc but not really sure how accurate.I bought and tried MT2814 770KV Tigers but are not effecient and too much thrust and use almost double amp then these pancake style motors.It would really help me if someone can take...

    Determining throttle hover percent

    With nazas 50% stick untill taking off (I hate this BTW)how do you determine what throttle hover percent is.Do you have to be in manual mode to get accurate estimate of how much throttle is needed to maintain hover?

    Using naza V2 high idle motor speed

    This is my fourth quad build and second using Naza.This build consists of 770kv tigers.Everything is ready to fly except I dont want to maiden as the idle motor speed(lowest setting naza software)seems too fast.I am using the taranis with sticks calibrated to default.I just think it will take...

    motor 2 does not spin in naza software

    This is a direct swap from tarot 650 to larger frame so all the softawre is configured already and checked in the NAZA V2 software.3 motors spin on arming in correct directions.All 4 motors and esc's worked with servo tester when checking motor rotation pre soldering.I have checked esc servo...

    manual mode throttle response/power in atti mode?

    I have looked into this,but is it possible?.Would there be a way of having the same throttle power in atti mode.I suppose if you had the throttle esc directly into receiver would do it but this would be extremly dangerous as the flight controller wouldint be able to monitor and control...

    Shorten tarot 650 arms

    I have experimented with various size/pitch props and 1355 seems to be the best size for my setup.Would shortening the arms and making the quad a 600 or perhaps even a 550 be a good idea.I have 3 1/2'' between tip of prop and where main body begins.Thrust should be the same but nimbler?I have...

    60/65% throttle hover more effecient

    I tried another prop combo again.(6.5 @48/50 % loiter)-(5.5 @60/65% loiter) Both manual mode naza.I read somewhere that more throttle over 50%,to an extent is more effecient then 50% or under.At 65% there is still plenty of head room so this kinda makes sense.Could someone perhaps elaborate on...

    first time fpv'er camera location?

    I have seen it mounted to main body and out front on the boom.From a inexperienced users point of view would one location be better then the other.Would bieng able to see some of the front of my machine perhaps make it easier in some way?.Perhaps advantages/disadvantages to seeing some of the...

    Dialing in naza for light breezes?

    Like title says.I have basic and Atti gains onto S1/S2 on taranis.I have tried all possible combinations,calibrated compass,done the dance but my quad is totally useless in gps mode in the wind,ANY wind.Loitering is out of the question with out severe wobbling that would certainly cause a...

    2 seperate gain settings on single switch

    like title says.I have not had any luck finding a guide to do this.I have figured out the taranis for the most part.I have 3 flight modes on one switch and a seperate failsafe override on a 2 way switch.What I want to do is have 2 seperate gain settings onto one switch.This way I can have 2...

    Motor Idle Speed Naza mv2

    *Read my posts carefully*.I have a tendancy to be confusing:confused: Curious as to what others have this set to when arming motors.I have mine set to the lowest.They spool up instantly and have low rpm idling.This is what I want.I find I need at least 85% throttle to take off then I ease back...

    Lipo 3300mAh enought for larger quad 650

    I ordered 2 thunderpower 4s 5000 mah yesterday.I came across a good priced 3300mAh 70~130C 4S.Would 3300mAh cut it,or would the flight times not be worth it.Thanks if I have posted in wrong place. I realize battery life has many variables,but in general is 3300mAh recommended for a barebone 650...
