Pete Tong: Cockney slang for "wrong".....?
Will be interesting to see how they will force Chinese manufacturers to implement software restrictions for any no-fly-zones....they don't even listen to their customers.

Yeah, go on. And don't forget to video it so that we can all watch it disappear off to within a 15km radius of Tiananmen Square when you test the RTH

This silly game repeats itself over and over again....like in the movie: Groundhog Day with Bill Murray:
I remember that same FW-thing happen last year, looking for the guy with balls:
http://www.multirotorforums.com/sho...hm-%96-Coming-Soon-!&highlight=wookong+update
I also remember my comment, which is still valid:
"...no need for being a beta tester....I bet my brand new Zero UAV there will be enough eager volunteers out there....it's like with PC software. Everyone downloading updates, and then: Ooooops, now it's worse than before. But give it a chance.
Would be so cool if we all stand in a room together: Oh...look...WooKong update...hey, you try it...no, you try it first....what's about you...maybe later, gotta go to the toilet....but what's about him over there....comon, can't be that bad....so why don't you try it then....I did, but won't tell you.....
Maybe each one interested puts 10 $ in a pot, and the first one taking the risk will get the pot..... " :tennis:

OK
Yesterday we put it on totaly new build off XMR X8 with herkuels and tested it for 1h. Like 10 packs and it looked ok. Did all the ususal test and seemed fine. Only problem is a small drag to the left side nonstop. TOday we are putting beack the 5.16 and we will see. If it is a new firmware or wookong problem.
Report more later.

Well done Kopterworx!
Waiting for the update - because I don't like left drags, but I would like to have RTH functional. Don't care about the LED show. Don't have a clue what they mean now.

We'll just have each have cheat sheets printed off and taped to our arm like football players do to decode the hundred signals thrown at them.
And sorry.., no update from me as I won't be able to fly until sometime later this week.

It drifts to the left when going from manual to atti?
I tried 5.24 over the weekend and RTH works but I am having another problem that I had on 5.22 as well. I can adjust the compass to where it will fly straight ahead with no TBE flying one direction in GPS mode but when I turn it around and fly the other direction it pulls to the right and toilet bowls badly when I let off the forward stick.
I also tried 5.24 out on my infinite jib eyedroid 6. Works good, RTH works exactly how it's supposed to (phew). I was experiencing a flight path track issue in GPS mode. Had to rotate the GPS/Compass antenna 10 times to find the happy spot. Never had to tweak it so much before. I'm talking hair length adjustments and it would either track right or track left. Very frustrating!
Elaborating more on the track issue, the reason for moving the antenna in the first place was due to a significant location change. (from South Western British Columbia to Northern Alberta) However I've still never needed to fine tune it that much before. Maybe that's a good thing.

Flew with new motors and props slightly smaller props with 5.24. Throttle response was a little different but me getting used to it plus I need to up the gains a little.. The firmware reacted good no issues so will up the gains and try on manual to see if the throttle is at 60% matching calcs..

Of course it behaves differently when switching between Manual and Atti and will either drift in some direction or lose altitude. That is the whole purpose of Atti. It stabilises!
Anyway, why would anyone ever want to switch to manual? I really don't understand why the manual Mode is even there at all.
I too have tried out FW-5.24 and yes, it seems to be OK. However, the normal transmitter calibration process of clicking START and then twiddling the sticks left both Aileron and Elevator off-centre, which has not happened before with the WKM (I started off with FW-5.16). This is the first time I have had to apply Tx SubTrim, after the calibration process, to get 'ZERO' displayed at centre stick.
Maybe this has something to do with the couple of posts here that mention drifting with FW-5.24?

Hi
Have you flown it with the subtrims?

Yes. It was quite a blustery day so the S800 was bouncing around quite a bit above tree top level but otherwise everything seemed pretty normal.
