Everything seems fine now. A couple more flights with no trouble.

OK, I think I would like to control my gimbal with my Futaba R7008SB RX. It takes 3-7 - 7.4 volts. Where can I get this on a 22-25V 6C system? I don't want to add another battery just for RX and I am not so keen on having a bunch of voltage lowering circuits (already one for LED's - 12VDC) as...

Still testing my new build and all has been flawless until this afternoon. I have tried a bunch of fail safe return to homes and done a bit of flying in IOC mode too. Today I was playing around with IOC which I have to say I am not too familiar with. I was flying in a straight line away from...

Hi Soler. Can you explain how you did this a little more as it might work well for my setup. I did not realize that you could bind a TX with more than one RX. I have the Futaba 14 channel with a receiver that I am currently not utilizing. I would love to put the Futaba RX right on the Gimbal...

Wow, great information. Thanks to all. I will try some larger mah batteries and see if I can get my time up. I am just relieved to hear that weight seems OK.

Now that I have added the second battery (that I actually do have) these calculations seem far too rosy. How accurate are they? According to this I can fly 6741G of additional weight. That just seems crazy...

Oh... There is another flaw with my original calc. I actually have 2 on there already...

So what data is going through that Can-Bus cable?

My camera and gimbal will be just over 6lbs.

A little confused regarding hooking up my Z15-5D to my A2. Currently I am using the A2 onboard RX for my flight tests and all is well. Eventually I intend to move gimbal control to a separate TX but for now I just want to get it up and running with basic functionality with one TX. Gimbal...

OK, now I am confused again. What exactly is considered "drive" in ecalc? I don't have my frame/FC weight as the whole rig is assembled. I do know total weight. If I say "incl. drive" does that assume that I have accounted for all components myself? It doesn't seem to as it is putting 1864g...

Wow, that (obviously) makes a huge difference. It now says I am at 78% throttle at hover. Should I be comfortable with that number? My next big concern is flight time. How do I increase that number WITH this payload? More battery...?

Sorry, I don't know why it shrunk down like that. Here it is as a JPEG. Perhaps this will work better. This is what it said... Running below the Current of optimal Efficiency is inefficient. Use a smaller motor Your Setup is unrealistic and way out of Limits! My problem with ecalc is...

It is flat. I could probably fit 16" props on there. I have been fiddling around with eCal but it doesn't like my data. What am I doing wrong there? Here is a screenshot...

Oh, and one more question on the voltage protection. Is it wise to lower the voltage for first level protection (yellow light) or should I always leave that at factory defaults?

I have completed my first build and all is well but I just feel like there are so many gaps in my knowledge and I don't want to discover any of them the really hard way (crash). This is what I built: -CarbonCore H6 950mm -DJI A2 Flight Controller -Maytech Opto ESC 60amp - No BEC, Simon K...

Great tip. Thanks. Any others for this self taught newbie? Where do you do training?

OK, I figured it out and just had my 1st (then 2nd, 3rd,...) successful indoor test flights. Turns out that I had my motors (ESC's) wired to the A2 in the wrong order. Boy, did I ever have a lot backwards (first build learning curve). I had assumed wrongly that the ESC's were wired clockwise...

I will make a video this morning. Most of the gear came from RC-Drones. They are not open on the weekend or I would call them for advice as their builder seems very knowledgeable.

I have 2 X 6C lipos. Eventually both will go on the back and Z15 gimbal on the front but for test I mounted 1 battery center back and 1 center front for balance. When I hold lightly by opposing arms it is balanced pretty well in every direction. I wonder if it is ground effect?
