First off, a little background.
A little over a year ago, I picked up an F550 w/Naza and GPS RTF with a DX6i
Having never flown one of these things before, I figured I'd be better off getting an RTF with easy to fly settings already programmed in :black_eyed:
It's been over a year and I've been flying with very little issue.
I've been using the same settings since the build and have never even plugged it in to use the Naza Assistant (actually, I was a bit afraid to after reading countless threads of people crashing after updating firmware)
Then a few weeks back, I had a problem with the motors not starting up.
Turned out to be a bad throttle pot on my DX6i (Spektrum had a recall for this)
Sent it back to Horizon and they repaired it free of charge.
As soon as I got it back, the motors started without issue and I was ready to take flight again (or so I thought)
I didn't bother to re-calibrate the controls and ended up crashing after take-off
No big damage, just snapped the antenna mount, busted all the props and took a small chunk out of my arm :upset:
Anyways, I was now forced to plug in and it took a while before I could find an old Naza assistant version, but I was finally able to connect last night.
These are the gain settings popped up:
Are these the same settings that it was originally programmed with or sumthin the Assistant uses as a default?
My original settings were very easy to fly and stable (I could gun it in any direction without flipping and it would always stabilize, even when I lost a motor due to a bad solder joint)
I re-calibrated the controls, did the Naza dance to calibrate the compass and everything seems to work fine on the bench without props, but I want to confirm the settings before taking flight again.:cold:
