    Hoverfly HFPro, Failsafe?

    Thanks Ed.ge, I'll try that, although my sensor is well covered by the X650 cowling, I dont think that is the issue in my case. If it was oscillating erratically about the datum then yeah, but it doesn't do that. It seems to give 2 levels of command one for a fast ascent and one for a fast...

    Sorry to hear about that Michael . hope you get it back, or have better luck next time. If your unsure of what you are you doing and whether its set up right, Its best not to fly near any residential or built up areas. A big wide open space will mean you have a fighting chance of locating where...

    My first quad fllight

    I know what your saying Roger, trouble is I've got 8 XAircraft motors on this thing which obviously have the flat bits on the shaft, so dont know what else to use without changing out 8 perfectly good motors.

    My first quad fllight

    I think those DJI props are the same as the Xaircraft props, which were renowed for breaking in flight, I really thought they had got past that. but I had one go today. hope it was a one off. Nice video RCNorge, you Noggies really know how to do things right!!

    Hoverfly HFPro, Failsafe?

    Almost needed a change of underwear today, flicked into AH about 25ft...whoosh, up goes, then came down real quick, just managed to switch out and catch it with the throttle a foot off the ground when I could clearly see it wasn't going to recover altitude. Had a good fly though for no real...

    using a tablet or iPad for downlink video

    Ah I was so impressed with the Gopro wifi link once I'd updated the firmware and established it, good for control...whats the range btw? BUT was so disappointed in the 4 sec lag in live preview. Thats just a little to much for any practical use I think, I'll stick to VTx. 4 seconds is a long...

    Hoverfly HFPro, Failsafe?

    Am I right in saying HFP has no native failsafe function when used without HF GPS, ie Autoland? So failsafe has to be set on the Rx with the only way to activate being to switch off the Tx. Another question: My Altitude hold function has got scary again,.. massive range of altitude and fast...

    Connectors for 8 awg

    I know, its crazy, my 4000 4S Gens Ace have 12 AWG,, no problems there. Never had an issue with Deans but I think I'll go with EC5 or HXT6 for my 4S stuff. warning noted, thanks.

    Connectors for 8 awg

    OK so I'm going to make up an adaptor, Ive done 12 and 10 looks do'able from Barts vid but I think 8 AWG is just pushing it a bit for a Deans

    Connectors for 8 awg

    Whats the best battery connector to use with 8 AWG wire? seems 5.5mm bullets is really the only option. Not comfortable soldering that size of wire onto Deans. could do with some advice Thanks Steve

    Best Batteries?

    Agree Gens Ace are pretty good, no probs with them, Turnigy..yeah I've have some of the wires come off, guess you have to be really carefull handling them. Just got some Zippy 5000mah 4S, see how they go. looks like silicon wire on the balance port, very flexible anyway.
