Welcome to the forums! Crashing is inevitable, if you don't do something wrong, your hardware might and only your closest friends should ever know which one was the cause ;)

Hi Dan, it was good chatting with you, did you ever get this sorted out?

As a long time plane and heli flyer I've just gotten into the multirotor end of things and it's certainly a bit daunting, even for someone with a lot of RC experience. As someone with R/C experience and a good technical troubleshooting background with any new technology there is a big learning...

Hey folks, again I just wanted to thank you for the input. Since my last post I've machined and built my own Y-6 with the DJI-WKM controller. I got to try it today but it was windy, even so it was awesome. I was expecting a total tank but it actually flew very well for a 2:1 thrust/weight...

Thanks, I guess I'll just give it a try and see what happens. Worst case scenario isn't going to crash the MC so moving on forward :D

Ah alright, well I don't have the experience in s.bus to help out there too much, I know on s.bus channel 7 is used for the flight mode switch but that's about it.

Hi Dan, have you set up a Wookong before or is this your first time around? Can you mention a bit more about how you have the WK wired to the R/C Receiver? You should have an Aux channel wired to the U port(on my Spektrum Rx it's the 'gear' channel (channel 5). If the WK unit is receiving a...

I'm planning on moving my FPV setup from my glider to my DJI multirotor. Since I can't integrate the GPSs together and use only one(to my knowledge), does anyone know if the units will interfere with each other? Most of my experience is with the downlink or other electronics interfering with the...

That's a pretty skeezy way for them to do business. Make sure to let them know that you felt wronged, and buy elsewhere in the future until you find a vendor you feel you can trust. Good luck with your build!

I fly an Atx SD-10G radio with my non-FPV aircraft, unfortunately it's not compatible with my FPV setup so I use a Spektrum module in my 9CHP for that. Are there any Spektrum compatible Rx's which offer all channel programmable failsafe? The stock Spektrum receivers only offer it on the throttle...

I'm an R/C flyer in Saugerties, NY. About 26 years ago a full scale pilot and R/C pilot friend got me into flying R/C planes in Seattle Washington, I moved, got out of the hobby for quite a while and when I got back into it I went after helicopters which were my true interest. I fly mostly...

Here's my setup. When the GoPro is mounted I have one battery on the middle of the top plate and one the behind it. Without the GoPro mounted I mount the batteries opposite(one forward, one middle) (they sit lengthwise left to right on the frame). Plenty of space to mount the FPV equipment, I...

Things are going pretty good at the moment, thanks you for everyone's suggestions. I went down to the 9" props and also added some weight (GoPro on 2 3s 2200mAh packs in parallel). My F450 weighs a LOT compared to the other quad in the video (which is on an FY91Q FC) but seems to fly okay...

Hey there, if you mean 2.4Ghz R/C with a 2.4Ghz video link I wouldn't recommend it. I've heard of very rare cases of it working out 'okay' on an FPV community forum but you're opening yourself up for a world of interference problems doing that. If you can't go to another frequency for video then...

I have some news on this, things are performing much better. I didn't re-balance the motors (still planned but I lack a really decent balancing setup that will support motor cans) but I did manage to get things performing a lot better in atti mode. I have the basic and atti gains on the radio...
