I have exactly the same problem. Hero 2, video output. Haven't set up the TX/RX yet, but am feeding the composite video from the GoPro directly into an 8" screen. What seems to be, is that the GoPro outputs a 4:3 signal regardless of any recording settings, and just letterboxes the 16:9 down to...

And as you put the waypoints in, you should know what they are. Ron EI8GMB - G6IWK www.bandonmodelflyingclub.com

When I can get out on my club flying field, with no or little wind, I'll try different distances. Be interesting to see if it turns CW or CCW depending on which it's nearest to already. Ron EI8GMB - G6IWK www.bandonmodelflyingclub.com

I did a rth from probably 60 ft and it didn't turn to face home, just came back sideways.

Excuse me Mailman35, a very expensive brick :) Ron EI8GMB - G6IWK www.bandonmodelflyingclub.com

Try putting the convex side of the props upwards. Then it will be obvious which way around they have to rotate to blow air downwards. Ron EI8GMB - G6IWK www.bandonmodelflyingclub.com

Best of luck with the first flight :)

Yes, glad that's sorted. And the motor numbering nearly caught me out too. Number one goes CCW which is not intuitive. Ron EI8GMB - G6IWK www.bandonmodelflyingclub.com

Hi EricT, That may be your problem. I just tried mine (indoors with no props) in 'Immediately' mode and it still needed the CSC procedure to start it. The difference is that in 'immediately' mode the throttle stick returning to zero kills the motors immediately, whereas in 'intelligent' mode...

So, can I get this straight, just so I can think about it clearly - are you saying that the motors won't run up to 'idle' speed when the sticks are put into the CSC position? In other words the Naza won't arm? Ron EI8GMB - G6IWK www.bandonmodelflyingclub.com

I've always used half throttle to maintain altitude and flown any direction without having to give more throttle. Ron EI8GMB - G6IWK www.bandonmodelflyingclub.com

Wow, that's fantastic. Glad I'm going the Jeti route, but haven't got enough supermarket coupons for the 16 tx yet :(

Yes, agree Bowley. In electronics all my life, and crimped joints are more reliable than solder where movement is concerned. In fact we did some tests, and you can make a crimped joint more unreliable by soldering it :( Ron EI8GMB - G6IWK www.bandonmodelflyingclub.com

Yes I agree. The twitching first, then the turning right sounds like motor/esc/prop failure from a clockwise motor that was providing anticlockwise torque (until it failed). Ron EI8GMB - G6IWK www.bandonmodelflyingclub.com

Hope quads are not affected...? Ron EI8GMB - G6IWK www.bandonmodelflyingclub.com
