I went out to far south west Texas to Big Bend having never been there. From the pictures it looked great, it could have been but yesterday it rained all day and the day before. A great wide open place to fly, wish it could have been sunny. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GrGXPgld8z0...

Man I have been using the same version in my DJI 550 WKM that it started with, having never up dated. I want it to fly perfectly "at least close" be stable, and give no surprises. I never had a bit of trouble. Return to home is all I wanted and it handles that perfectly every time no matter...

I guess I'll have to wait till one of the motors quits to test this out. Kinda sucks huh?

My brother and I both have DJI WKM 550's with stock motors. My brother runs 4s and I run 3s. We both have quite a bit of time on the motors or at least we think so. Neither of us runs the crap of the 550's just easy going but I would guess that I have over 15 hours total time on mine. I wonder...

Looks to me like I just need to run with what I have. I just hooked mine up and in the assistant it says that my software is version 1.30 and firmware is 5.243 and it says the latest for both are software version 1.32 and firmware 5.14. But stories of flips and sudden drops from the sky sound...

I have a DJI 550 WKM And JR 11X radio. Everything works fine, and it flys great. I am pretty far behind in firmware updates and software updates. I run Intelligent Return To Home and that works fine too. As long as this works for me, is there there any special reason I should care what updates...

I have only had my F-550 WKM a very short time. I always get the red flashing light as you mentioned if I am in normal mode. It can sometimes take several minutes for the light to go from 3 blinks to 2 and then one, and then none. When there is none, your locked in on the satellites. Swith to...

Thank you Dewster, in regard to this statement "Intelligent go home was a short lived feature." Doesn this mean, it was offered for a short time untill it was found to suck? See I had my F-550 built for me by Robert @ DJIUSA. I dont know what was out there software or firm ware wise, but I...

Thank you....

Could you explain why intelligent go home is a bad thing? If it is because it will shoot up another 60 feet above the highest altitude you were flying, I agree with you. Only in some instances it will climb much higher that the 60 feet or so its supposed to. I just lost my F-550 due to...

I was doing it just for fun before this. I had the hardest time trying it the first time, when you see how great it works, you want to do it again! If I had been at my normal levels of height, usually less than 100 feet I would still have my f-550.

No I didnt switch to atti I just turned off "I thought" RTH but while it was still in GPS mode. Could have saved the day, by just staying where I was, but I was sure that it was passing me up. I could have switched to atti and SLOWLY brought it down. I dont trust to try it in normal mode. I...

My first mistake was to let it get too high. I intentionally sent it up higher than I had ever before because this was the very first machine that I trusted to handle it, and wanted some good video. Idea being get up, turn slowly 360 degrees, and come down. The lower level clouds were right at...

Ya especially when you live alone.

Well it sat up there in that spot for over 8 minutes. How high up do you believe it is? It could have landed and gone up again a few more times if all I did was go straight up and straight down. Notice the time it started the hover? 3 minutes. The camera went dead at 11.8 minutes, and no...

Thank you, this is info I sure could have used this morning. I did not realize I needed to switch to atti mode. And it could have gone up and down a few more times. In the video, it begins its long constant hover at 3 minutes 30 seconds and the camera went down at 11.08 minutes and longer till...

Yes sir, I was not using FPV when this happened though. I still would have at least appreciated the final crash clip. It started its hover at altitude and sat there for like 7 minutes and maybe longer but the camera went dead I dont know how much longer it was up after that, I was chasing down...

I have had my F550 WKM about a week. Had Robert at DJIUSA do the build. This is my 4th quad type aerial platform, of course this is a hexa. All the others were expensive junk. I was so impressed with the way this F-550 flies, and it was really starting to give me some confidence. Took it out in...

The DJI props and the Xaircraft props are not the same. Here is an example. I just took this picture and on the left is the DJI prop, and the Xaircraft on the right, both are 10". The hub of the DJI prop is beefier and has thicker walls than the Xaircraft one. The height of the hubs is the...

I just installed 10"x5 Graupners last night, replacing my DJI 10" props which work very well, and show no sign at all of cracking around the base. But these are new ones that Robert @ DJIUSA told me were beefed up around the boss at the bottom, thicker by a good bit. I wanted to try the...
