I think if they introduce a bind and fly version with access to the Rx module via two or more servo ports the sales will hit the roof. At $699 thats competative with the cost of a F450 kit and Naza GPS plus battery with a 3A balance charger with a Tx. Considering all the $$ most of us early...

You need to give a bit more info. Did you do a Compass calibration at your flight site? What was the status of the NAZA GPS LEDs before you took off? The 6-8 foot comment does that mean that under 6feet you have normal flight and control? If the answer is yes, then it may have to do with...

AeroXcraft sening parts by FedEx Great Product Support Thanks to Rob and AeroXcraft for the support, my missing parts are on their way. I have the landing gear and gimbal all assembled so now just waiting to put the two together.

Thanks for the quick response Rob. I will fill in the form on Aeroxcraft's website.

I have assembled the AeroxCraft landing gear and was about to tackle the GoPro HD gimbals when I did a parts check. The Frame parts are all there and comes in two plastic bags. The hardware bag look in tact but I did do a parts check and noticed I only have 3 of 4 H16 Vibration isolator 7mm and...

Congrats on the F550 and DX8 same here. Ist step before you build is to download everthing from the DJI website. Manuals, Calibration software, USB Driver (very important) and the best soldering iron you can lay your hands on. I think the new GoPro3 looks like it does a lot of thing great...

I think you might first try to reset the model or create a new one and recalibrate with Naza. If you did indeed play around with some of the options on your Tx then you may have selected some Mixing with Throttle and the channel that controls Flight Mode. If all else fails, don't hesitate to...

After my crash I was eger to start rebuild. Took my broken F550 to my hobby shop to see what parts I needed. They told me that the GPS antenna is really fragile and could have shattered internally. If I could not perform the compass calibration then I should open it up to check. Thankfully...

Well with all of the OSD and GPS Telemetry now available you can at least get the last Longitude and (-)Lattitude for the Google map search and rescue. I have since outfitted my F550 with the GPS Spektrum module. Now with all this rain over the past week up here in the Southern Ontario and I...

Having had a runaway myself with more than 10 flights I can see mine flying off. I did locate it some distance away after a 45min search. The damage to my two red arms and your pic makes me think when a runaway does occure its goes in head first. After that last wind/rain Sandy I should...

Hi mmurfitt; Most hobby shops carry an array of carbon fiber rods. I am sure you could find a replacement for the GPS antenna. For your DX8 to 3 way switch. Its a combination of which Aux channel you choose to set up as the FM selector. You can remap in the Switch Select menu of the DX8. If...

Welcome fellow GTA F550 member :nevreness: I got my Graupner from Advanced Hobbies in Markham. Woodbine Ave and Hwy 7. They are open Sundays as well. I put them on Friday and have been sneeking out between no rain periods to test them out, much more lift and quieter for sure. You will be...

Yes (the RIGHT) the exposed side of the connectors should be on the same side as motor #1 or #6. I find using the motors as fixed points a lot easier.

Nice rig, does look a lot more complicated than that Jpeg you showed above. So I guess when you have to fly with the GoPro you move the battery pack to the back to maintain CG at current center point? Does that change the Z axis a bit lower as well?

Hi Bruce, I noticed that you have the GPS connected to the bottom plate. That will actually make your Z axis -7cm not -11cm. I have also seen these numbers on a few Youtube videos. But if you measure the height of the GPS antenna from the bottom of the provided stand its closer to 9cm not...
