I've used kk 2.0, dji naza and Ardupilot apm 2.5. DJI naza was great in that it was easy to set up. Arducopter takes a lot more work but is easily just as stable although achieving finely tuned hover, RTH and position hold takes a bit. The KK board was inferior in every aspect I tried but is...

I'm running 10x5" graupner e-props with a 4s 6000mah Turnigy Nanotech battery and a gopro 3. It weighs about 1500 grams with everything on it and after 25 minutes my battery voltage was 14.97. Most of that test was just holding position at 20 feet altitude but I think I can confidently say I...

I'm having a problem with my Naza Failsafe. I can set my failsafe up fine in the assistant. When I turn off my transmitter it automatically goes to failsafe mode. In autopilot I have it set up to "Return Home and Land." I have the gps set up right with the cable/arrow pointing forwards and the...

This is a tiny bit off topic as I have the Naza but I have the same transmitter Futaba 8FGS. I can set my failsafe up fine in the assistant. When I turn off my transmitter it automatically goes to failsafe mode. In autopilot I have it set up to "Return Home and Land." I have the gps set up right...

What glue would you recommend for holding the gps riser rod together? Does anyone use hotmelt glue for rc projects? Is there any hotmelt glue thats made for holding things like that together?

Hey powerplay. Could you post some video footage or any sort of review for the 3 axis gimbal you purchased from alware back in december? I'm looking at getting it but I can't really find any useful information from people who actually use it. Thanks.

Thanks a lot srbell and nellie. I actually have the 8 channel so its possible that I will be able to use one of those. Its nice to know that I have the the option to use a decoder though.

It seems to suggest that you can only do it with futaba sbus servos. Maybe thats just so they get more money though. It would definitely be nice if I could control my naza via sbus but still control some camera straight from the receiver.

Does anyone know if its possible to use sbus but still have a channel left over to control a camera shutter. I guess what I'm asking is it possible to use sbus and traditional at the same time?

Wow that's pretty accurate. Is everyone doing that?

How accurate does the placement of the naza have to be. I just eyeballed it and put it as close to center as and facing forwards as I could. When I looked at it later it seems like it might be a degree or 2 off but its pretty much stuck now. Do you think I should get more tape and pull it up and...

Thats cool to know about the 3 chan working fine. The 8 channel came with my transmitter but for future projects this is a great idea. Also mitsaras it looks like FR-Sky TFR8SB receiver is sbus compatible. While I wouldn't want to trust it to keep $2-3k in the air its nice to have options for...

Wow thats cool. So it isn't a special cable especially designed for sbus? Thanks a lot.

Where would I get an sbus cable to connect the R6203SB to the naza? I have everything that came with both of them including one weird cable that plugs into sbus on the receiver with both a male and female sbus connection on the other side of an on/off switch. Not sure if thats what I'm supposed...

I have the dji naza with the futaba R6208SB receiver. What cable do I need to connect the receiver to the naza with sbus/dbus. All I have is a weird wire with 3 ends and a switch in the middle. I bought the receiver with the 8FGs transmitter. I'm relatively new to the rc world so any advice...
