I added the V2 PMU and LED units to my Naza V1. Everything is connected (triple checked) but I get no lights of any kind after powering the system. Everything worked fine before the upgrade. I am using firmware v3.12. When I plug the USB in I do get a solid green light and the FCC and...

I want to build a simple test/balancing pad and wondered what is recommended to control the esc. I've seen them in videos and assumed its some kind of rheostat. I know I could use a receiver and transmitter but that's kind of a pain. Mike

Can somebody tell me how long its reasonable to keep a lipo fully charged. I keep a flight log and I really like logging the battery and the mAh put back in on every flight. Of course, for that to mean anything, I have to fully recharge the battery. All well and good but depending on...

I know I've seen this question before somewhere but after getting frustrated searching the forum and Hoverfly help, I'm giving up and asking again. In servo setup, I seem to seem able to configure one axis and save it but not pitch and roll both. I tried enabling, closing and saving one axis...

With the talk of building a waterproof multi, thought some might find this interesting. http://www.waterbeader.com/

Photronics just posted an interesting video in Hoverfly forum demonstrating the degree of mag interference which could affect magnetometers in GPS units. That led me to wonder; I can mount the GPS unit as far as possible from suspected mag sources but the cable is very long and I always seem to...

I need some help getting my NEX5N to fit on my AG550v1.5 with an HDMI cable. Enclosed is a pic of the tray. With the camera installed, there is less than 1/2 in clearance on the side. I have tried a couple of cables including an ultra-thin and a right angle and they don't come close to...

I have an AR8000, Hoverfly gimbal controller, and two axis gimbal. I plan on wiring it with a 6V BEC through the controller and powering the servos. I will have one servo connection from Aux2 on the receiver to control the tilt channel. Question is, should I cut the red wire from the AR8000 to...

Really good info about servo connectors and crimping. Great read for beginners by Chris Hansen of Hansen Hobbies. http://www.hansenhobbies.com/products/connectors/Connectors.pdf This is very well written and presented. A whole bunch of manufacturers should hire Chris to write their user...

Starting on a new build. Want to do a Y6 on a Rusty's frame. Medium heavy, probably Avrotos, 11-12 in props. Is there a rule of thumb for determining boom length? On a flat config, prop clearance is a factor but I'm guessing that's not as much of an issue in a Y setup. One goal is stability...

I'm still having a little bit of an issue with yaw on my GPS. Holds altitude in a hover but put in the least bit of yaw and it seems to lose position lock, just wander off. The other thing I haven't ironed out. In atti mode, I can set an altitude and fly quite aggressively and it will hold...

Playing around with my Naza GPS trying out RTH failsafe. Flew it out estimated 100 yards and turned off TX. It flew to altitude, flew back to a point about 30 feet to my right, then directly overhead and then landed Hmmm. My GPS was aligned as closely as possible to centerline of copter...

Since I started this madness, one of the things I have been most pleasantly surprised about is the quality of service from many of the vendors I have dealt with. I am repeatedly gratified by those vendors who not only offer prompt and efficient service but are willing to take the time to...

I went out this evening and tried to work on gains. Moderate gusty winds, not too bad for West Texas. Stock F550. Two Hyperion 3s mounted on top plate. GoPro near front on bottom plate. COG including is surprisingly close to middle of Naza including z - axis. Balanced DJI 10" props...

I know everybody hates DJI props but I've got to say, I've had pretty good luck with them. I've got a set of Graupner 10 in. and I'm sure I'll use them when I graduate to more serious AP work but dang, you land a little bit crooked and you'll break one But I've used a bunch of DJI 10 inch...

Went out early this am in perfectly calm wind to test my GPS. Calm air is rare around here. GPS held a hover rock steady. Held position on climb and descent. Flew straight and then held on fore and aft flight and side to side. But (ain't there always a but), on even a small gentle yaw...

My neighbors have grown used to my front yard test flights but I'm pretty sure they think I've finally gone completely round the bend. Got my GPS for Naza installed and went out earlier to calibrate and a quick test even though very windy As I calibrating the compass I look over to see my...

Recovered from a moderate crash. Main damage was destroyed the VU/BEC again. Got a new one, hooked everything back up and I've got a total brick. The ESC's beep continually, which I believe means they are getting no signal from the FC. The LEDs on the BEC show nothing, no lights at all. Hook...
