    Control board for second DJI F450. Cheap?

    I have a DJI F450 with GPS and NAZA. Works way better than I could ever believe. I now want to build a second F450 with same motor and speed control and receiver - BUT: I don't want to use the NAZA control board. I want something I can take some chances with, try some stunt flying etc but I...

    Two receiver with one radio

    Hey Bunnyface :), will you elaborate on how you do that? I can't come up with any boot up system to allow me to do that.

    DX7s with 7 channel receiver.

    Running dx7 with a 7 channel receiver (its failsafe programable) I have the GPS-Att-Man on 3way flap switch. IOC on gear 2way switch. I would like to add Return to Home to my setup. Return to Home but NOT LAND. Can I just pick an unused toggle, make sure that the gear switch is in the off...

    F450 quad frame?

    I do use some leg extensions from time to time but only when using my camera. BTW: My legs are made from 1/2" PVC pipe. I just dremeled (sp) a slot into the leg that allows it to slip onto the straight edge of the F450 foot. Tight fit and it stays in place with no additional bolts or...

    The more I read, the more I'm confused

    Bingo. I flew in the wind today, first chance to fly in a week or so. Your right. ATT it is stable as far as altitude goes but just nudge will send it into a direction and then it kind of glides to a halt and then reacts to the wind and moves in the direction of the wind. In GPS mode its...

    F450 quad frame?

    Thanks to all for their feedback. First I'm sure my piloting skills could/should be better or we wouldn't be having this discussion. I suppose I'm the only one who has every had a hard landing with their quad so I'll try to do better. My breaks are near the motor, about an inch or so from...

    Newbie Naza Questions

    You know????/ Thats the best advice one can get. When you take off, plan on launching to a few feet off the ground immediately rather than the sloooow wooosie throttle up and hope it will scoot gently sideways for a while and then rise to 6" off the ground. The NAZA will make things simple...

    F450 quad frame?

    I'm flying the F 450 quad. Everything is going well, way beyond my expectations and experience. In the 6 weeks that I've been flying the quad I've lost two arms due to their breaking on landings. First was a fairly hard landing in 4" tall grass. It landed and immediately flipped over an...

    Quad is gone/fly-away

    Really sorry to hear about the fly-away. Especially with so much expensive equipment on board. Heres a thought: Contact a local Boy Scout, soccer team, baseball team etc., or similar group of kids (through their leaders of course) and offer a two or three hundred dollar or more reward for the...

    The more I read, the more I'm confused

    I just flew the copter but its too dark to fly now to try your suggestion. I'll do so tomorrow. I'll ask another question: bear with me. I'm new with the copter, but the Naza and GPS make me look good and also builds confidence. If I put it in manual mode and (with a lot of altitude) I...

    The more I read, the more I'm confused

    The copter does hold position very well. I think that perhaps Tomstoy2 might have simplified it for me. I haven't really flow the copter in a wind, perhaps a breeze but I usually stay in GPS mode. I just happened to notice yesterday that it made no difference between ATT and GPS mode. I'll...

    Help**** Big Problems

    I have a T380 Trojan copter too. It was a RTF. It was constantly a problem trying to get a decent flight out of it. So much that I went to the F450 Naza quad (no regrets, very solid). But I'm still sittin' here with $240 worth of copter thats so erratic I was afraid to fly it over 2 ft off...

    The more I read, the more I'm confused

    I have the F450 w/Naza and a DX7s. I have the three position switch assigned to Manual ATT and GPS My gear switch (2 position) turns on the Orientation Control. When I'm in Manual mode, theres no doubt I'm in manual. I have to fly it all the time for the most part. Very touchy, maybe too...

    Help**** Big Problems

    Is the dealer using your radio with the copter or his radio? If you still continue to have a problem, I'd seriously consider re-soldering all the extensions you put on.

    question for DJI 450

    Maybe I'm missing something but I have to ask, Why? Theres got to be a wire connection involved and range would have to be very short and the proper ga. wire for even a 10' long cord would have to be like 6 or 8 ga. to carry the amperage needed to fly. Way to heavy for any control of the copter.

    Questions about Dji F450 Naza Settings

    Sorry your being ignored. I'm new to the F450 but my quad was configured by dealer with 10" props. I tried the 8" without any software modification and it flew differently but still rock solid. I do like the 10" better....BTW: I'm using a 3 cell 2200 lipo.

    Newbie questions

    Like you, I very new to the quad copters and NAZA. Having said that, my solution to your problem may not work, or may not be acceptable to the purists in this RC type flying. I made sure everything was setup like Bowley suggests. But after the copter is in the air and either tries to drift...

    Naza Problem

    I'm really new to the Naza and quad copters but: I have to move both sticks on the radio to the bottom-inside corner of the radio to give me a slow speed 3 second rotation/start. During that 3 seconds I have to accelerate the stick to flying speed and take off. I really don't feel that I'm...

    New to NAZA - I'm very tenative about making computer adjustments

    I'm really not too concerned with adjusting my gains. Dealers settings seem to be just perfect from what I can determine. I'm more interested in adding RTH. Just RTH, not the RTH and auto land with radio off. Hope that makes sense. I think that by saving what I have now and re-installing...

    New to NAZA - I'm very tenative about making computer adjustments

    Yes. That helps a lot. Thats kinda the stuff I'm looking for. Thanks for pointing me into that direction. Then all I have to do is leave the present settings in my radio in a menu like F450-1. Copy it to a second menu option, rename it to F450-2 and then start all over in the naza...
