I have not seen the result of using the Gopro wifi but I was told never to use it on the Phantom

My new F550 was fitted with 8 inch stock props and hovers excellent but the climb out is slowish I have Graupner 10x5 E props coming running 3S 5800 lipo I get 10 min flight with the 3S 5800 lipo and 30% left

I also manged to locate some Graupner 9x5 E Props for my DJI Phantom but that decided to fly away this week and was lost. So I see you are using 9x5 props on your F550

Futaba T8J radio with genuine Sbus Futaba 8ch rx Some have said it could interfere with the GPS unit? Can I use a 4S lipo on my stock F550 setup? I will be using a 3S 5800Mah 30C lipo

I have just built the F550 stock setup Can I run 4S ? I will be using a 3S 5800 40C lipo (Zippy)

Has anyone had any problems using a 1.2Ghz 1 watt fpv style vtx on their F550 with the Naza and GPS? I have ordered this vtx /rx combo http://www.infinity-hobby.com/main/product_info.php?cPath=198_228&products_id=7756 I will be using a Low pass filter of course.

Looks like either system failure or more likely the pilot is an idiot and inexperienced.

I was using a Gopro HD 2 at 720P 60P but now have the Gopro Hd 3 black edition at 1080P 60P (so much better)

You will need to adjust the middle rod so the carbon plates are flush with the outer rollers. Mine has no gap on the front rollers and little gap on the rear rollers which stops the twisting slop.

yes and I had a test hover today and he is still angry

I was coming into land and Mr magpie had other ideas The magpie was not hurt My 500X was 1 x boom, 3 x landing pole mounts, 2 x Futaba S3156 digital servos on the crane II gimbal were both fried. Total repair cost was $117 Aus (the futaba servos were $93 of that)...

I am using all the stock ESC and motors for the 500X and the GU-INS controller with GPS My 500X can reach 5000 feet in under 5 minutes with the 3S 4000Mah 25C lipo http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DpifJNfKFvQ

You will have to use a BEC with 4S I run a 3S 4000Mah 25C lipo with the Crane 2 Gimbal and Gopro HD 2 and 1.2Ghz fpv gear with no problems ever.

if you have the new Crane 2 Gimbal then it would have come with Futaba S3156 digital servos Mine work perfectly Make sure the adjustment rod at the top is set so the roll axis is smooth when moved by hand.

I am going to try it with my Sony 1080P handycam and Sony 720P compact camera. Just saw the new Sony RX100 and the Sony Action camera that does 720P 120FPS I am very happy with my Gopro HD 2 at 720P 60FPS with the live feed too but want something without the fisheye.
