I'm flying a Tarot 960 with gimbal, 2 cameras, 2 batteries, and retracts. AUW of 7.5 kg. Naza v1 with GPS. I've got the gains up around 150 with 16 inch props and it is extremely stable.

Hmmmm Bill.... I have never set anything on my ESC's with SimonK. DJI Optos on one and Afro ESC's on all the others. Maybe I've just gotten lucky? ;) Hi Flygirl, I did some Google searches about setting the throttle limits on the SimonK ESCs, because I have been wrong(Gulp....!) before...

I use the Simon K ESCs also but it was my understanding that you still have to set the throttle end points as usual for your transmitter on each ESC. Also does the Naza software show the throttle position dropping below 50% while in GPS and attitude mode? If the throttle range is changing...

I think 17"is way over propped. My AUW is pushing 4 kilos and I only run 12" props with 650KV motors. Switching back and forth to manual there's no drop or rise in elevation so I think I'm about right. I may try 14s just for S and G's.

I've utilized failsafe by switch and loss of signal. Once while flying FPV I went beyond a tree line and the camera got blinded by the sun, lost video and I could no longer see it line of site. I hit RTH switch and after about 20 seconds could hear then see it returning. Way cool. Once forgot...

Try uping your idle setting in assistant 1 notch. The motors should start but stay in idle until you pass the 50% mark at which point it powers up quickly. I've found once you hear the motors speeding up you can feather back on the throttle a little and slow your liftoff if desired. The very...

Also, if you didn't see it mentioned. The new firmware initializes the IMU for about 70 seconds at power on and the motors won't start until it's finished. Wait for the 20 green flashes at the end. It does lock on to satelites much faster now, if you have GPS.

Did you download the driver for the Naza and the VU unit(That's the device your USB cable plugs into)? You download it from the same place as the Assistant software. If so, does the Naza showup under the device manager? I think any receiver works with the Naza. Good luck. I love mine. Most...
