    Can the DJI A2 Rx connect with the Hitec Aurora 9?

    Hi everyone. Quick question; I am planning on purchasing the A2 from DJI and I currently have the Aurora 9 (Hitec). Is it possible to bind the Aurora 9 to the A2 Receiver? I'm having a challenge find any info on this topic. I love my Aurora 9 and don't really want to go out and buy a Futaba...

    THanks dude. I'll try playing with the voltage a bit more and make sure I can get like 20 min or so. I tested all leads through everything with to my multimeter before the build and found virtually no resistance. But I'll keep searching and testing.

    I think it's the Naza Low Voltage thing to. I posted the same issue on DIY drones and one of the replies said that his T960 takes a bunch of voltage at first but then levels off and he gets like 22 some minutes. So I think this is the issue. I might try and implement this idea to:

    I like all advice and comments. I think everyone can teach me something. I went with the short motor wires because I wanted the ESCs under the motors to give the centre frame more room. In addition it's lighter to have 2 long wires per arm than to have 3 long wires per arm, that's 6 less long...

    I was going by the pictures in the link I added and by advice from Motion RC. Here are two pictures that show the caps wired in the same way I have.

    This should explain inductance and where I first became concerned about power wire length. http://www.rcgroups.com/forums/showthread.php?t=952523 I could have used long phase wires but the ESCs take up too much room in the frame, plus you don't really want long phase wires either. I cold have...

    No those are 50V 220uf capacitors, one before each ESC. This is prevent inductance. Inductance can damage the ESCs over time. I'm using this because I have long power wires to each ESC.

    So does that mean you think I'm not having issue with my wiring and more so with my Naza low voltage setup?

    Here in Canada we had some A.H. fly over a Federal Penitentiary, now everyone's afraid of what people could be doing with these and transporting who knows what. The Government is freaking out and talking about licensing of multrotors. I follow the letter of the law when I do this commercially...

    Something strange.

    Hey all, I'm trying to set up my low voltage on my Tarot 960. DJI Naza V2. I'm running two 5300mAh batteries in parallel on a pretty much stock system except for my homemade power distribution board and 50V 220uf capacitors before each ESC. After 7~8 minutes I seem to loose 2 volts but my mAh...

    Hey Kloner, Can't see what you posted. Just a broken Pic icon. Could you repost please.

    ProPilotWannaBe, That's the best answer to this I've read so far. I tend to gripe and not always offer a solution, and what you say about offering the teaching to others is such a great idea. I hope we can have something to help these newbies with ready made systems. Most of us here learned by...

    That's a nice vid you uncovered FlyGirl, thanks for putting me somewhat straight. However, IMO those guys were not experienced enough to be flying that close to one another. When David Windestål and I flew together at the Neat we still tried to keep some distance. I wouldn't have flown like that...

    So whatever happened to the days when we built our own frames around a flight controller? These phantom bozos with no previous experience flying are going to kill this hobby for us. Like that nimrod in NYC. I took such pride in building my own rigs, choosing the wrong ESCs and making dumb...
