K723: I have the same setup. NAZA facing forward GPS puck mounted correctly Re-check motor rotation Re-check correct props on motors Calibrate compass Check DX7 yaw trim What does Assistant show for sticks monitor? Is the Rudder slider centered? How are you controlling the yaw? Ron

jfro: I went through the same thing, loss of orientation on my DJI F550 hexa. I also started looking at lights and strobes and one day, driving into town, I come upon some cyclists, one of which had a very bright red tail light strobe. Found one at REI, runs on 2 AA bats. Took it apart to...

Steve: Give the new DJI 1038s a try. No reaming necessary on stock motors. The following link also has a video of DJI destructively testing these props. Pretty amazing and it's what sold me on trying them...

Vortex Ring State and settling with power are slightly different phenomenon, but the results are the same. >Also, if it's windy, does that help move the column of descending air out from under the aircraft? Exactly. You can do this by flying forward or wind does it for you if you're in a...

volans_oculo: Just interested to know if you had any wind at all. There's a helicopter phenomenon called settling with power, and this looks exactly like it. The helicopter descends in its own rotor wash, controls become sloppy, blades flapping around like your octo oscillating side to side...

UgashikBob: >Also can anyone point me to a documented procedure on how to set Failsafe up with a mix/switch on the DX8? Send me a PM with a commercial email address and I'll email you a file I've put together for NAZA/GPS and DX8 detailing the complete setup. I'm also flying a stock DJI F550...

Tracking thoughts: Yes, I'm nervous about flying BVR and I've given it some thought and $$. First, I never want to loose contact with the hexa and not be able to send the RTH command, so I added a TX amplifier to the DX8. If I fly around the house, I connect the 2.4ghz antenna directly to the...

shill535: What you're asking here is some sort of iPhone telemetry correct? The Immserion EZOSD on screen display has a telemetry function using the right audio channel that can be used with an iPhone app. You will also need a video transmitter on the Phantom and a ground video receiver to...

>how do you set this up though? I have a DX6i that I want to be able to use home lock on. OK. I should first ask what receiver you are using. It's best if you have a receiver that can do a pre-set failsafe bind, so if your radio poops on you, the MR will come home, assuming you are using the...

getting to know IOC better will be helpful in a number of ways. Yes indeed. I threw a prop once from my F550. I was FPV at the time and was unaware what happened. I did end up dumping the hexa into a large juniper bush, saving major repairs though. But it was flyable enough for about 150yds...

Hey: Before you throw $$ at this you can work everything on the NAZA with 1 3-position switch is you give up one of the IOC functions. Haven't given much attention to the new NAZA version or the NAZA V1 firmware upgrade, so this relates to a NAZA v1 with 2.+ firmware. On the 3 position switch...

Hey Mike: Have the same setup as you. I ended up using a balance connector off the battery to supply the voltage to the TM1000, but soldering in should work fine. Also, if you solder them in, you can also solder to any of the motor distribution pads as well. Might be a little closer for you...

Pretty sure it's 6mm and yes you should be able to find them at any decent hardware store. Ron

>On startup I let it sit for about 60 seconds until the LED flashes green a bunch of times, so I think it has GPS signal. OK, what version of NAZA are you flying and which firmware version? I have a NAZA hardware v1(red and white) and have not upgraded the firmware yet, so upon power up, I get...

karl9z007: >I'm also curious on the failsafe, hate to lose my bird on the first flight. Don't be just curious. It is imperative you setup the pre-set failsafe in the DX8/AR8000 for any situation where the radio looses contact with your flight controller. The How-To is explained in the DX8...

AEA737: >But the best test would be to actually fly with one engine out on a light hexa. But I don´t know if the naza will arm with a motor disconnected. I suppose you could leave a prop off, but I'm not that much of a test pilot. My 550 is at 2000gms and I fly at about 2100m. When I threw...

AEA737: This morning I flew out about 100m, flipped into HL and added aft cyclic to come home while introducing a small yaw input to simulate a motor out on my stock DJI 550, a rate certainly less than 90deg/sec. NAZA GPS made a commendable effort to come home. I didn't bring it into the...

Guys, in the real helicopter world, if you start a rapid horizontal acceleration from a hover without adding power, the machine has to share "lift" with the new demand for "thrust", so it descends. One rule of thumb is the normal hover height of a helicopter is determined by its ability to...

Morning: I conducted a short flight this morning to look at Home and Course Lock. I've never actually tried CL, but after reading the manual last night, my hexa does what the manual says. Tugboat, the manual says it reverts at 10m instead of 20m like you said but I couldn't really judge the...

Mongo: >don't think i will be trying the IOC style anytime soon. do like the RTH on failsafe though. I hope you do give it a try. It's really perfect for noobies to multirotors and maybe that's what DJI was going for. Your MR's up in the sun and you don't know which way it's pointing? Switch...
