I went with 450 - and really glad I did. You get the same amount of fun & learning during the build phase. The cost is 50% cheaper (4 vs 6) when things break [ and they will :dejection: ] . You will have the same learning curve in terms of flying skills / radio skills etc. And then you can...

Another thread, in another place, confirms that these look to be exactly the same ESC : HW Plat 30A Opto & T-motor PRO 30A Opto 400Hz firmware not confirmed - but 1/2 the cost :)

... sorry to be a pain - but my knowledge of what an ESC is, does, constructed, etc has gone up massively tonight! - Thanks On the Hobbywing Plat 30A Opto, i can see type A and Type B - but i dont understand the difference? Is one set to be CW and the other CCW with the std cabling - which can...

Thanks HomeSlice. Can anyone tell me if the DJI 30A's on my F450 are SimonK flashed? - I'm doubting that, so is it worth doing that for them too and will i notice a difference, using Zava M v2 FC ?? [apologies for the dumb questions :) ]

Wondered if anyone could help with choice of ESC for a 3510 700kv motor? I thought it would be a straightforward 30A esc - but there are options which are getting me confused :dejection: I guess there are a few Q's : 1) do i need to flash (or buy pre-flashed) SimonK esc's for multirotor ( eg...

ok - thanks guys. Am going to go with the Naza v2. :02.47-tranquillity:

Noticed that there are a few T680pro machines with Naza v2 fc. I then saw the commentary below on a website - and wondered where the assertion that the Naza v2 couldn't cope with anything over 650 had come from? Couldnt find anything on the DJI website [although it wasnot a detailed search ]...

Aaaaaaaggghhhh! Well I had my first proper crash at the weekend :upset: Was all going SOOO well. It was about 200m away and about 15-20 m high. Just suddenly started to move left and downwards - i threw the FS switch and nothing happened and i then cut the motors when it was almost down -...

Thanks for that Corey! Connector was fine - but the tip about splitting the shielding and then trimming off , that should be a big help in keeping the size of the end small enough to fit nicely. Cheers!

Maiden Flight today!! :highly_amused: F450, Naza v2 GPS, 4s 5000 NanoTech, DJI std opto 30A motors, DJI 8" props & Futaba T8J Tx Had to tweak the Gains on Atti from 135 (I think) down to 105 to stop the thing shaking itself apart! Basic Gains made no difference. So I've ended up with Gains...
