Thanks Seadog! I've added my setup info and I also read and responded to your PM! Cheers, Will

Hey Seadog, welcome. You granted me access to that Google Doc about a month ago, but I cannot make any changes. How do I go about adding my setup info? Thanks for the spreadsheet - great idea. :tennis:

I'm paranoid, but I use 3 different warnings. 1. NAZA setup for 4S battery: A. 14.7v - 0.5v = 14.2v (this sets the red light blinking) B. 14.2v - 0.5v = 13.7v (this should trigger auto-land, but I've never driven it down that far) C. (For what it is...

Sorry, but it is true. The NAZA Assistant software is Windows ONLY. No Mac, no Linux, etc. As others said, the Assistant software can be run from a Mac or Linux computer, IF you have a virtual Windows OS setup. There are several pieces of virtual machine software, however you will still need...

For what it is worth, I have a MacBook Pro and Parallels with a 32-bit Windows XP partition. I do all of my NAZA programming with this laptop, but I use Bootcamp, not parallels. I find that Bootcamp is faster and a bit less fussy, especially when USB devices are used. Glad to know that it...

I've run about 1 meter worth of strip LEDs on 4S for a while now. The LEDS do get very hot. I had a small electrical mishap that could have set the entire rig ablaze in a few seconds. Those that are using the LED's know that the strips have positive and negative solder tab terminals every 2...

Hi Dale, Glad it worked out..! I've found that Windows 7 is very picky about drivers and how they are installed, but once done successfully, the drivers work reliably. As for wind...tell me about it! I was trying to fly in 44mph wind gusts last week, and 35mph wind guts on Saturday, and...

Are you sure you grabbed the right driver? The NAZA drivers aren't available in zip files, they are RAR files on the DJI support site: http://www.dji-hobby.com/naza/index_en.html The drivers are at the bottom-left of that page, called "NAZA Multi-Rotor Driver 32 & 64 Bit" here's a direct link...

Helijib, Good to know that was helpful, thanks for the feedback! Unfortunately, I am not familiar at all with the DX7s, but a quick look at the manual suggests that the menus and such are not much different, if at all, from the DX8i. As such, I would assume that the DX7 could be setup very...

Hi Ken, I've gotten to know Jeremy a bit over the past few months. I stopped by RCH for the first time in December and have since picked up a bunch of equipment and information. Jeremy had mentioned the local heli club and field briefly. I'm interested but keep forgetting to get the info. It...

I've recently used a little dab of blue 242 Loctite. Removing the stock props has not been an issue. That said, I used a dab of 242 when I installed a set of Graupners. The props were impossible to remove by hand. I got a pretty good cut from trying to hold the prop & motor steady while...

Interesting. Is there a multiplier for 3-blade propellers? I've read (on the internet, so it must be true!) that the rule of thumb in comparing 3-blades to 2-blade props is to 1ncrease the 3-blade's diameter by 1" and decrease it's pitch by 1. So a 9x5x3 prop would be comparable to a 10x4...

Ken, I noticed you are in Mass. I picked mine up at RC Hover in Foxboro. If you ever shop there, or if they are at all local, might be worth a visit for a test-fit. Cheers, Will

I have one too...love it! I was considering one of the aluminum hard-case types, but theis semi-soft case is small and light, yet rugged enough to protect my DX8 inside of my rucsac or trunk (boot)!

Here's how my radio is setup: Orange text is used to show connections between the receiver & NAZA. Green text is used to show setup within the Assistant software. Switch Setup: MIX to control Failsafe:

With the Spektrum DX8i, I found it easier to setup as acro (airplane). I have several memory setups in the radio, some heli, some acro, but as I've fine-tuned the settings & setup, I think that Acro is the easiest/best for the NAZA. While it makes sense for normal airplane and heli use, I...

Man, I think I would have soiled my undies watching it crash toward the road. That is my #2 concern - dropping the multi in a place that could cause a motorcycle or car accident (#1 injuring somone). I'm new to receivers with satellites, but I'm pretty sure I read somewhere in the Spektrum...

Blue on the front arms, red on the rear. My F450 is built with white arms in the front and red on the rear. Since the red arms are easier to see than the white, it messes with me a little bit, by my thought was that red = rear, just like brake lights. Now that I've added the blue & red...

Thanks guys. I installed a couple of +12v strips this weekend, and just like you said, they worked fine with my 4S pack. The LEDs give a HUGE improvement to visibility and orientation. I was worried the LEDs might be too bright at night, but they aren't. I'd say they are about perfect. I...

+1 on the wire cutter. So easy a caveman could do it!
