    Flight Time Question/Advice

    I use a S800, Zenmuse and 5.8 Vid DL with a NEX5n. I get about 10-12 min on dual 5K lipos, and 12-15 on dual 6k. I don't have the DataLink, OSD, the FPV cam or retracts. So your time seems about right. Also it is temperature dependent. Cooler temps shorter flights unless you have away to keep...

    DJI now has posted 5.20 notes: http://download.dji-innovations.com/downloads/wkm/en/Wookong_M_product_release_notes_en.pdf It appears there potential problems with octa copters with 5.18.

    DJI F550 crashed and not sure why

    ryanroberts, was that in GPS mode? I never take off or land in GPS only in Atti or rarely in Manual. If you are in GPS and it is unstable go to Atti. I have never seen a TB in Atti or Manual.

    F550 What wieght are you flying with

    Shall I get rid of Manual Mode?

    One simple way that is fool proof and impossible to throw a switch by mistake, is simply to make 1 model with manual for setting compass or to practice manual, and another for flying w/o manual. This is easy to do on T8FGs Futabas and you have to go into the menu in order to switch models. I...

    DJI "NEW" 10" Props

    To Balance the prop I like to sand away material on the bottom of the blade. To balance the hub I like to add weight. I use hot melt glue I have some industrial black sticks that work very well it is easy and fast, and comes out smooth. Not like velcro and superglue, that can be a bit messy.

    Soldering S800 ESC and Motor to new DJI arms HARD landing...

    I have to replace 2 arms I cracked landing hard. I was stupid, I switched to manual close to the ground and at 50% throttle the 800 drops like a rock in Manual. Only switch to manual before takeoff or with lots of altitude and be ready to throttle up. This was on my third flight with the 800...
