Almost embarrassed to show mine. Made from Carbon Fire Arrow Shafts. I get mine from an archer. He gives me his broken arrows. Attached with double sided tape and tie wraps. Simple and light and free!
Good. If you follow the manufacturers instructions you can't go wrong in most cases. I am having a blast with the 450. It is my first quad. Could not be happier.
If you are using the standard DJI Motors then their 8" props are for 4 cell packs and the 10" are for three cells. As a general rule when you increase the cell count you need to reduce the prop load on the motor since it will spin faster on the higher voltage.
With all else being equal if you...
I use Hobby King Nano Tech 3000mah 4 Cell packs in my F450 with 8" props. I charge them with a cheap Hobby King Accucell 6 which I have five of. Very inexpensive and charges all my battery chemistry's. I use them for my gas airplanes and all my electrics.
With the 4 cell 3000's I usually fly 8...
Great info Bartman. I must say that without this info and much more on this site I would not have been able to build, setup and fly my Flame wheel 450 with absolutely no damage. It worked perfectly from the start. Without this site I'm afraid it would have been a very frustrating experience. As...
I'm with you eggbeater. It seems this Naza unit has so many functions it's easy to get confused. At times I thought I had too many options on my aircraft but this puts them to shame. One H*ll of a lot of fun though!
I think we could all be considered master programmers after setting a NAZA up completely! Got my failsafe and return to home done and it all works!
I set my failsafe to 50%
You sure don't want to be below 10% for sure. I can only imagine how quick the quad would hit the ground when the...
Could your lipos be wearing out? Maybe discharge them to see what their capacity is? I have 6 Accucell6 Chargers and have had no issues with them. I charge everything with them. I use 4 cell Nano Tech's 3000 Mah. I usually charge them at 1.5 amps. Never been a fan of high charge rates.
The Naza is amazing. The altitude hold and return to home are very nice. You could put it up and leave it in one spot forever, even the wind doesn't effect it. Only a low battery would force it down!
Some great video. Cold up in Canada Ey! It's in the 60's here in Ohio today but windy. Did get to fly my quad yesterday. Tried out the Return To Home. Quite spooky giving up control to the Naza! How do you like the Hobby King Board? Does it have altitude hold?
I cant remember where I got it now but if you give me your email address I can forward you the spreadsheet. Mine works great with the exact settings from the sheet.
The 10" props are intended for 3 cell use. I'm sure the rpm's are higher. Not sure how much. Certainly wont hurt the electronics as the amp draw will be less. Is it possible your instability with the 10 inch props is from your gain settings?
I use 4 cell packs and the 8 inch props. Am very...
