[GotHeliRC]

Hi all,

Well, after some mind jamming days, I have manage to get it going and it fly. Will try to get a video post this afternoon. I was having a lot of issue trying to figure how it work, since the full English manual is still not finish and most of the time I have no idea what is what.

YES, the FC is huge! but on the trade off it does have a lot of extra ports. Voltage regulator inside, I believe it can go up to 4s.

But I test fly it this morning, it's twitching a bit (no idea what to adjust in the software yet). But I was brave enough to kick it into Altitude/Attitude hold, altitude hold was great, but do to the twitching, attitude not so great. I am having a little vibration on the set up, so maybe this need to be fix first. I got very brave then kick it into GPS hold, then I was surprised.

I won't say anything, maybe the video would say it all. It was able to lock onto 11 satellites.

BTW, I got the wifi to work with my Android and it transfer live data back. Pretty cool stuff, you can see your exact location, point and go, joy stick control (of course I have not try any of this).

Throw any question you have here, but can't guarantee if I know all the answers.

I know, I know, video!

Dimension:

MC = 61x92mm (no I am not joking)
IMU = (about 40x45mm) hard to get to it now.
Wifi = 4x65mm
GPS/Compass = 55x12mm

Let not discuss about the price now since it still might change. Let talk about the size, performance, features.

Here's a quick video of the GPS hold, note: this is all default setting, have not able to change any gain yet. Don't know how.

I know... It's big and bulky, but hey, it was meant for big hex, octo right, shouldn't be a problem mounting it then. Maybe this is why it's worth it.

Second test.

Wow.

 

[GotHeliRC]

Here's some interesting option in the software.

- Max Speed (I do believe you can set the max speed that the aircraft will fly around) I have test it and it seem to work fairly well. Could be very useful for AP?

- Radio, Adaptive, Normal, SBUS, JR Satellite.

- ESC, Nomal (400hz), XA ESC (500hz), IIC ESC, Other

No, this is not a clone.

This is new product from a UAV company called ZeroUav. They are updating there site right now. http://www.zerouav.com/

This come with a lot more standard features than the WKM. Waypoint, click and go, wifi live link, ect...

Thanks!

Haven't yet decided between YS-X6 and Naza + GPS. I'm not going to buy Wookong, because it seems like a waste of money if Naza can do about the same at 1/3 of the price.
