I use 6 cel Pulse 5500's from AerialMediaPros.com: http://aerialmediapros.com/store/index.php/lipos-and-connectors-c-29?osCsid=8fa8h9592o3nsg09tigmhvmn85 I also have the Exotics 6000's, they work equally well. I fly them in parallel pairs, I do have the Zen, Iosd and 5.8 VDL as well, so the...

I have 50 or so flights with both my F550 and F450 with no motor problems at all. I have them both set up w/o any soldering other than to the board, I am just using the bullet connectors. I would check the main board connections, and make sure your RX antennas are at 90 degrees away from wires...

As I mentioned above, it works fine to use a 3 way switch with F/S, ATTI and GPS. Just switch back to either ATTI or GPS and you get control back. At least this works on my two Nanza MRs.

I have my two Nazas set up GPS Atti FS and no manual at all. I can cancel f/s return home just by going to ATTI or GPS, I have done this many times it works fine at least with my Futaba 8FGs radios. I also invoke F/S by turning the radio off, this too works well and you can get control back by...

I am very curious to get reports as to how improved this new IMU is. If it is an improvement and offers better control and more resistance to turbulence and other rough conditions and allows bigger payload, then I would be happy to pay $240.00 for the upgrade. I am not having any big problems...

I still have not had any problems with 5.16, 5.18 or 5.20, but i emailed DJI and my dealer anyway to find out what the upgrade entails. I have the S800, Zenmuse Nex5n, iOSD and DJI 5.8 GHZ downlink, I am still below 7Kg and the 800 flies just fine on 2 6000's or 2 5500's 30-70C Lipos. Yes it...

Wow, that is the exact opposite of my experience with 10x5 E-prop Graupners. They seem quieter and seem to give me more flight time as well, both in my F450 stock MR and in my pretty heavy F550/Gimbal, I do run 3cel Lipos 4400's 25c in the 450 and either Dual 4400's or single 6400's 25c in the...

My Zen SetUp for Futaba 8FGs OK I have been very busy but I hope this will help even if it took a while. I use S-bus and that is nice no clutter, just one cable from RX to Zen controller. These are all the settings I made in the TX: This one is obvious... Function switches on the left...

I will post a complete setup with the 2 8FGs and Zen complete with photos or maybe video, hopefully later today when I get some time. I was traveling yesterday.

I have the V2 board and 5n as well. I got it to work. I use 2 Fatuba 8FG's one dedicated to the Zen. If this is your setup I can tell you exactly how to set it up using S-bus o 6208 Rx. You have to change some settings in the TX. If you have a different setup post it so someone here with the...

That sounds really bad. Can we have some more details. Where on the prop was the break on the ones that exploded on spinnup (was it at the hub or how far up the blade)? Were those brand new first flight props, or had they been flown before? I am just curious why did you continue using those...

I often make panoramas, and I usually do them in post, I use photoshop for this. So in order to make panorama just park the MR in GPS mode and release the shutter manually as you rotate in 30 degree increments. One big thing when you do this, do not use auto exposure, set the iris, white point...

I have to agree with helloman1976 a preflight is a must. Just like in a full scale plane. Any nick or embedded sand grain (small dents or scratches can be emory papered out) in a airplane prop has to be fixed before flight, and it can be expensive. Any prop that actually touched anything while...

Check how badly the 10" props are out of balance. There could be an intermittent ground fault brought on by vibration, or in the receiver antenna connection. If the vibration is strong it could cause a lot of problems with marginal connections and the auto pilot. Better yet balance those props...

Make sure the set screws on the side of the shaft are secure. It is either a 1mm or .9mm allen wrench I believe. I have heard of those 2 set screws coming loose and having the prop and outside magnet part of the motor take off like a single rotor heli. This is a good thing to check every week...

The local club is a great place to find a spotter for FPV. And a spotter is a good idea and the law in some countries.

Here are some answers to adanac PM, I put them here, others may find this interesting. 1) Does the Naza or WKM not help with stability? My understanding was that it "assists" with some flight parameters. Yes they do, GPS mode helps you fight the wind the MR stays where you put it. Atti mode...

It is true in my opinion that to get constantly good results you need to spend 10K or so. I have an S800 with Zen and I love it. Even in windy conditions you can get smooth images. I know lots of people who love them, others hate them, what can I say. Some people just really hate Chinese...

There are a few reasons to join. The AMA is about the strongest representation we have in Washington DC. The insurance may help I have never collected or know of anyone who has. Just talking to a bunch of people who have been flying RC for decades is very helpful if you are willing to...

On boats and airplanes a white light is the back. Then green and red side lights are left and right. Boats and airplanes dont have "headlights" they will ruin your night vision, planes do have landing lights, but those are kept off most of the time especially at night except for the last part of...
