    Hi from South Yorkshire, UK

    There is a few, but any RC heli sim will do, some have MR's as part of the model list, Aerosim is geared more to multis, to be honest MR or heli, the skills are more or less the same. clearview is a good cheap option at £26 and downloadable. there are better ones at higher cost but the clearview...

    Hi from South Yorkshire, UK

    Hi Rich, step 1, simulator, just spend hours on it, then get a cheap heli (I recommend the Esky honeybee, tough as nails and cheap to repair), you'll get all the skills you need, Its not much like ROV, well not until you start FPV, even then its just different. on the plus side, no tether to...

    The align APS system has RTH as a failsafe.

    single rotor fpv

    Wookong H Lite is basically like a Naza for SR's, just has Baro Alt hold, although not sure if the Naza GPS can be added.

    single rotor fpv

    Ace 1 is very pricey, have you considered WK H or WK H Lite? It has had the height limit removed. I am still watching for this promised GPS for Skookum 720. Align have a nice system also now...APS for use with their 3GX FBL.

    fine tuning a gimble

    I use savox 1258 at 0.06s on 6V. with Naza, still jittery as.... dont expect too much out of the gimbal outputs, if it could possibly be smooth, DJI and Freefly wouldnt be charging big bucks for their zenmuse and radian. Ive used the XA FC1212 AHRS, Naza and APM2 on the same gimbal (XA). APM2...

    XAircraft Xaircraft to DJI m Advise please

    The colours are not really important, as long as the motors turn the right direction, if not swap 2 over. Its a bit tedious to work on, but well worth keeping the XA frame, its really quite good in my opinion.

    XAircraft Xaircraft to DJI m Advise please

    I replaced the XA ESC's to turnigy ones under advisement, had no probs with my Naza with XA motors. I have my red wires out of the connectors and taped off. I find the XA Motors actually not too bad, smooth enough and reliable.

    Million Dollar Question

    Freefly Radian? is this the one John Cuningham is working on with freefly? I did hear there was a new carvec gimbal stabilizer in the works.

    WHY or perhaps the question should be WHY NOT

    I think MR's should be flown with utmost regard for what they could potentially fall on. there seems to be a major trend at the moment and a sense that MR's can be flown by anyone, anywhere. you just have to browse youtube to see this, some of it makes me shudder. The fact that they are so easy...

    British MR fliers UNITE

    What jumped out at me was that they (CAA) seem to have seen sense in terms of types and classifications.

    Gimbal Jitters.

    I find my gimbal far more jittery with Naza than it was with XA FC1212S/ AHRS. What I find is that with the gains set sufficient to maintain a level horizon and fixed attitude in tilt, then it performs awful. the only way I can get it anywhere near steady which it isnt is with the gains dialled...

    GoproHD2 fpv and making pictures

    solution is to grab stills from your video on 1080p narrow fov, you can get a surprisingly good crisp image from it with a video editor snapshot function. I personally prefer this method if I use a gp2 for stills. when I use the gp in photo mode it is fisheyed so once you correct the lens...

    F550 WKM went down like a sack of bricks!!!

    I had an X650 go down, I found a solder joint parted on the undamaged side of the airframe, in the absence of any other explanation and the fact that I cant reproduce the fault, I think this solder was the cause rather than a result of the crash. must watch those solder joints. I'm thinking of...

    Naza - Can it do an X650v8?

    I was under the impression Naza could only support up to 6 motors, I guess you are planning to control 2 motors off each channel. interesting idea! I think your redundancy would depend on your all up weight. so if your using 8 motors for increased payload over the quad I would think you wont...
