    8FG & Naza set-up

    I'll give the position change a try, also were you using Normal or High-speed? Normal seemed to give me a bit more ground test distance for some reason...

    Also wondering if Range is affected in the differnt modes of "normal" or "high-speed"?

    8FG & Naza set-up

    I'm going to turn the Rx sideways and get it out from being tucked under the battery by the Naza but I don't really have hopes for the move because my Spektrum was tucked and I went 1/2 mile without a glitch. That's an ouch factor

    8FG & Naza set-up

    I just tested many different angles, mounted on the arms spread at 180, 130, 90 again and with my wife holding the transmitter like normal and me walking down a open path I could barely reach the 1/4 mile mark as the Rx light is flickering green/red causing the VU to display intermittent...

    8FG & Naza set-up

    EDITED! Well at the 1/4 mile the quad started twitching... (THAT'S right only a 1/4 mile) so I brought it back. I'm disappointed so far, guess I'll need to look at wiring and see if the antennas need to be repositioned... Anyone have pics of theirs with the Futaba Rx set-up so I can see of the...

    8FG & Naza set-up

    Range check was unimpressive... I have the antennas high & at 90 degrees. Figured I'd be able to go a mile but at the 1/2 mile point with a ground test it went failsafe. I guess we'll see what it does in the air tomorrow

    Ok, made a custom mount as I hated the first rendition that didn't get the antennas out in the open. Let me know what ya' think!

    White Light in GPS with 5.14

    Does it have to do with how close the led is to the GPS? Over 20cm? I have no hard info for you after asking...

    LOL, I love the feel and options the Futaba gives. Can't wait to test my 1-mile range this weekend. I'll get the full video up this weekend also for those needing help using S.bus and I'll make sure to talk while going through all menus so everyone looking will understand the reason for channel...

    8FG & Naza set-up

    Ok, Kavi sent me some screen shots and I was able to make it work 100% correct and damn was it easy! I really over thought the mixing stuff coming from Spektrum. HUGE thanks to Kavi and I'll make a full instructional vid to keep on tap for any others needing it. This weekend is 1mile and a car...

    8FG & Naza set-up

    Ok, I need to redo my channels from Ail to the bottom 7th channel. Kavi is looking at his settings for me, my X2 is moving with the Gear channel I have set for my gain control which seems to be a problem... The work continues.

    8FG & Naza set-up

    Thanks! I spent some time and don't see anything wrong with my channel assignment... Does anyone? Ail Ele Thr Rud Gear Aux6 Aux5 I'll be making a full start to finish video of the set-up showing that everything works with how I have it. Minus the one toggle forced failsafe going off the screen

    8FG & Naza set-up

    Yea I watched his video also but I don't see a switch assigned to go failsafe; only the failsafe when turned off. My 3 position switch works going into all 3 options (Man/Att/GPS) and my failsafe works when the 8FG turns off but I also added the feature of failsafe by the flip of the SF toggle...

    8FG & Naza set-up

    The assistant software shows everything register... The only thing is that I can't get the forced failsafe to go multiple ways so it shows in the box. It still shows failsafe when it goes off the registering section though. I'm open to mixing ideas :shrug: If not I am not going to worry since...

    Also how are most mounting and angling the antennas of the R6208SB receiver?Antennas at the 90degree split facing upward or downward?

    8FG & Naza set-up

    There are a few vids but they are both done Very different because you can assign whatever channels to switches you want I guess
