    Hello from an old fixed-wing guy.....

    Hi Dave, I happened to be a long time plane pilot that used to fly Saturn, UFO, Phoenix and Typhoon type pattern aircraft with a hot .60cc, tuned pipe and retracts. With time, the large amount of equipment to load/unload at the flying field combined to the fact that the field was the only place...

    RC Heli guy new to multi rotors

    Hi! Welcome amongst us! You are about to be amazed.... The NAZA master controller (or several others) allows us to do things unimaginable with traditional R/C helicopter equipment. All this at a very reasonnable price. No more hours in ajustment, tuning and balancing. 99% of time spend with...

    Hello from Loveland Ohio....I pulled the trigger !!!!

    Hey! Welcome aboard! (Off course I am from Canada, Hey!) You are not going to regret your move, guarantee! One thing though, take the time it takes to do the things right. If you rush into this with your head down, you may find it gets pretty expensive fast. It really is a poker game, with...

    Hello from Norway

    Nice going! You have some amazinf scenery out there with the mountaiuns and the lake...Wow! What kind of FPV goggles have you got and if they are Fatshark, did you remove the pull out lenses that had the warnings out or are you flying with them? I had 1 flight so far with the lenses in and I...

    Good for you Kloner! You were a good ambassador of responsible and professional MR pilots. After the accident in the stadium, that kind of exposure is very welcome. Admit that could not by done with a plank... Kloner back to MR, I LIKE IT! Obviously, I am still very addicted to MR! Kloner...

    Cold affect Naza???

    Agree with deanot, I fly in sub zero temp with NAZA all winter long and the only difference I noticed so far is that my flight time is reduced by at least 30% with unprotected batteries. Nothing to say about NAZA, my Graupner props seems very brittle but have always held OK. I fly both F450...

    My first quad fllight

    As I see it, the actual prop retention and locking principle is based on prop compression to the motor base plate and not with the flat key on the shaft. If it was the case, how to explain all the other and more powerful motors featuring no flat portion on the motor shaft. Also, the...

    My first quad fllight

    Why take a chance mate? I am not convinced at all that this problem is solved. What I know for sure is I never had another prop breaking in flight since I fly both the F450 and F550 with Graupner. Especially with the F550, the combinaison of camera, gimball, video downlink and other telemetry...

    My first quad fllight

    Congratulations on your first Quad flight. Now you really understand why we love it sooooo much! One word of advice though, get rid of the 10 inches DJI props and fly other props like APC Electric 10 X 4.7 (cheap, good and safe) or Graupner 10 X 5 (expensive, excellent and safe). The Dji...

    there went the neighborhood

    Kloner, give us a flight report! How does it feel to fly the big rig? How are the stick inputs? Is it really more stable than say a F550 or any other NAZA controlled MR? What is the biggest difference pilot wise? I know that they probably didn't let you do some loops or see what she got for...

    DJI Naza F450 does a roll in fail safe

    Happy this solved your problem. Mind you, other components can also cause glitches on the system BUT, after over 70 flights on my F450 and approaching 50 on my F550 (conservative numbers) I never had another glitch or erratic behavior from the machines. This mod should be a must. You may fly...

    Multirotors Battery Tips Part 3

    Thank you very much for a very informative series of video. Very much like myself, I would like to point out that english probably isn't your primary language therefore this is a step higher in the difficulty level. Anyone may want to imagine their performance describing such technical...

    DJI Naza F450 does a roll in fail safe

    Had the same happened to me at 3 different occasions with F450 NAZA GPS. Figured that an intermittent connection with ESC had to be involved with the problem. The NAZA system works at something like 400 Hz. My understanding is that it is at least one stabilization sensing operation every...

    Multirotors Battery TIPs PART 1

    I agree with your narration and description Peter but I believe that Individual cell balancing is not only possible but takes place every time you charge a battery. Let me explain: As the battery charges, every cell receives the same amount of energy (watts) BUT when any of your cells reaches...

    First Build, First flight, can't fly... help

    You definitely want to get the electronics off the snow. I you are going to fly where there is snow (I am from Quebec) I would be very convenient and safe to get some sort of landing gear (X-468 or anything like this) to keep the belley off the white stuff. Worst come to worst, a simple dowel...
