Thanks for the input. I'll order the arm from Rob. Is he a member of this forum? About the crash, I took off and although I had green only on the LCD, after about 30 seconds into the flight, the craft was not responding to stick inputs as I would have expected. I was windy but it was as if...

After today's crash, at a minimum I'll be needing a replacement arm for my F550. A quick for "DJI F550 replacement arm"search brought up UAVPRODUCTS.COM. They appear to be US based and sell arms for $4.00 and entire F550 frames for $48.00 ...

That was some skilled flying Ken. Sorry to hear of your injury. Makes me want to invest in some safety sleeves.

I wonder if another "fly in" is planned this year at the Mansfield MA location. It was a big event last year but only one guy was flying multi that I saw. RT12Ryder (who is a member here) Here's a shot of Ken's Cinestar 6.

I don't think the FAA goes out of its way to look for people flying RC for business, but when the find a business flying RC, they tell them to shut it down. I don't think they would prosecute anyone unless they continue to do the AP business after a shut-down notice is given. Of course that's...

Welcome Dan. Tell us more about your S800. Speaking of fishing, there is a video somewhere of someone using a multi-rotor for fishing.

I bought my everything from http://www.rchover.com/ in person. I've bought some replacements props from them via mail order and they shipped the parts out quickly. Highly recommended. Call Jeremy if you call RC Hover in Foxboro Massachusetts, and tell him Jim Harrington sent you! Not that that...

DJI Phantom or F550 I built an F550 back in September of 2012. My first venture into RC. I'm more into still photos, than video but I do make video. As you may be aware, video from a rigidly mounted GoPro can be less than optimal. But it can be 'OK". See my favorite video (so-far) here...

A couple of empty, sealed, 24 oz plastic bottles, strapped to a multi-rotor, might prevent sinking, should the craft go down in the surf. I plan to do just that when I fly over water at the lake this summer. Of course the water will still do it's damage but vehicle recovery might be better...

Hi Adam, I'm in Saugus MA. I've been flying my DJI 550 w Naza since October of 2012. I went to a big RC heli even in Mansfield in late September. I met Ken, RTRyder. I'm still learning about the features (RTH, IOC) of the NAZA flight control but I find flying in GPS mode quite easy. Having...

Thank very much for your help Ron. I'll try the RTH cancel soon. I'm not sure what course and home lock do at this point. In the manual, a lot was lost in translation. I've done the compass calibration a couple of times but it was a while back. It seems a bit hard to understand why...

My DJI worked fine when I first set it up. 1.) Now however, with no stick input, in GPS mode, it revolves around a 12-15' circle when it should be relatively stationary. What do I need to tweak to minimize this? Could it be a center of gravity problem? 2.) When I switch my DX8 radio to...

I was hoping someone could point me to an adapter wire I'd need to hook the GoPro Hero 2 to the Immersion RC 5.8 Ghz 600 mW transmitter. Kloner, can you explain this: " separate bord cam" I learned the hard way that the sun hitting that small fatshark cam lens can blow out enough detail to...

I currently have an Immersion RC 5.8 Ghz 600 mW transmitter and use it with a small FatShark camera. 1.) Would it be advantageous to get my FVP video signal from the GoPro? (I would expect the wider field of view would be better.) 2.) and if that is possible, what type of adapter or cable...

Sorry for the delayed response. I'm no expert at the NAZA. When you set up the NAZA with it hooked to a PC, did the on-screen indicators show that you were switching modes? (only hook to PC with props removed) When I fire up my DJI 550, in full GPS mode, I always get green but some red blinks...

I'm flying the same set-up. Fire away with your questions. Have a peek as some of my aerial photography.

HPL, From my experience, getting a small, light quad to hover "semi-stationary" requires almost constant minor adjustment to the aileron and elevator, even indoors. The first time I flew my Blade MQX in a large open area, on a mostly windless day, I flew about 75 yards away and then lost...

Very professional Ben. My compliments to the editor.

In a previous reply to this thread I wrote: "Don't put too much stock statements saying crashes are common." I must say that because I'm flying mostly full GPS mode crashes are not common for "me". Multi-rotors without GPS position hold are certainly more difficult to fly and I'd assume more...
