    DJI F550 crashed and not sure why

    Try some Shoe Goo and some more zip ties to make the wires all stay put. I'm a noob, but I would not let those wires go without zips and more secure ideas.

    DJI F550 crashed and not sure why

    The DJI motors are not worth the time and cost of the other equipment invested. My first DJIF550 had the factory motors. I would not trust them even if other members had success. Call them lucky! Try to step up into the next best thing in the motor world. These guys here on the forum could help...

    First "Fun" FPV flight

    Thanks. I see so many channels and vids with footage but not much on how they got to that point. I like to see how they wired it all up together. New ideas come to mind. The many build vids and pics help with the imagination.

    First "Fun" FPV flight

    Looks good. Show some component build pics or it didn't happen! hehe What's under the hood (on video)? Parts lists are a mess to read through for some of us (me).

    Q&A - Quick update on DJI 550 down

    I put them in a small arbor press, and then pounded them out with some flat wood and oak scrap. This is about as good as I can do from the bent condition they were in. In the end, I think most of the motor shafts are pointing straight up again, and the props look "close" to horizontal. A test...

    Q&A - Quick update on DJI 550 down

    Hi guys, I have not been active in the last few months and just started to work on the DJI F550 that my father kindly stuffed into the neighbor's garden area. Enough time has passed. What chance do we have at getting the bent aluminum extensions back to working condition? The dry dirt in the...

    Hello from DadHav in Akron Ohio

    I only have a few flights experience with a DJI F550. A defective charger send/return RMA#, and a typical DJI F550 Naza flip over while hovering has grounded me. The new charger is great and I am eager to get some airtime after a few fixes.

    NAZA w/ GPS (barometer and Sun)

    I'm red /green color deficient, but can deal with separate traffic lights well. The NAZA's single BEC/LED with one LED showing a status is a bit troublesome. The flicker you see... Is it a fast blink rate or a flicker like an electrical mishap? Can you post a youtube vid or one on vimeo...

    NAZA w/ GPS (barometer and Sun)

    I'm going to have to re-read the Naza manual. I really hope it says something about this subject. Some of the stuff I've seen on the forum this past 2 months is really heartbreaking and tough to accept. Are we keeping the name Multirotorforum, or is Bart changing it to BetaTesterForumsDotcom?

Please chime in. (video's text) In my last video I had complained about sudden drops while...

    FPV and Data link (Notebook opinions / suggestions)

    oh' ....I hope there is a compromise to what is being built for me (patch and cloverleaf antenna). I'll wait a minute to see what happens when I speak further with him. He is a great guy and has lots of experience with this but, may not have the correct package dialed in for my needs yet... I'm...

    FPV and Data link (Notebook opinions / suggestions)

    Hi guys, I was finalizing some wishlist equipment for a bunch of stuff going on a FPV DJI F550 build. An additional Wookong Data link with a single waypoint upgrade may be "tossed in". What do you guys think of a basic Acer One Notebook Computer or other? I'm a bit nervous as to what works well...
