    XAircraft X650 Gimble

    Just flown my new XA 2X mount with gopro on it. Dont have my BEC yet so just connected the smaller tilt servo. so far I'm impressed tilt stab worked fantastic. absolutely no issues with jello effect or any sign of vibration and thats before I've even balanced the props. It was just a short...

    XAircraft X650v Tech help please?

    Ccdan: did you send that trace to XA? Who do you have to send it to? I'll send mine as well. Hoping Jeff @ XA USA will steer me in the right direction. I'm stuck. V8 just sitting on a shelf. The only thing I can think of to do is revert to older firmware or software and see what that brings...

    XAircraft X650 Gimble

    I've not used it yet as I cant get my X650 flying due to drift on the AHRS. I would lay odds on it not being an issue. it has a nice smooth stabilizing action, I'm quite impressed with it actually from what I've seen on the bench, Just want to get it in the air.

    XAircraft X650 Gimble

    I can get about 60 deg using a side slider on my hitec aurora with end points set at max +140/-140. I can get the camera straight ahead horizontal or straight down perpendicular to the ground depending on where I physically locate the tilt mech on the servo gear. obviously I dont get the option...

    XAircraft How is your value series flying?

    Pitch & Roll were still stable after moving it about in all axis, powered down, powered up all seemed fine. Got up this morning connected the aircraft to computer and software was reading 28deg pitch up and 9 deg roll right which explains why it wants to roll fwd and left. Just done a cal and it...

    XAircraft How is your value series flying?

    Noticed now that my pitch and roll figures seem to have stabilized! I wonder if these AHRS units have a running in period, so to speak. Hav'nt flown it again, just been monitoring the output data which have hovered around 0deg +/- 1deg for the last hour.

    XAircraft How is your value series flying?

    Hooked craft up to computer and software showing the AHRS sitting with left roll and arse down after I cal'd it about 30 mins ago. Just now monitoring the pitch, roll and heading figures on software after another cal and it is drifting drifting considerably, after 5 minutes when all figures were...

    XAircraft X650v Tech help please?

    It seems I'm not alone in my V8 problem of drifting/rolling. (severe port fwd in my case). It was my intention to fit a WKM sooner or later, I guess it will have to be sooner unless someone can point to a cause and remedy. At the moment its useless.

    monitor sunshade

    Just check the size of your housing is similar to the lilliput 669/668/667GL otherwise you can get the type that velcros onto the front. probably more of a universal fit. http://www.amazon.com/ProAm%C2%AE-Video-Monitor-Hood-Sunshade/dp/B003KV3R1K

    XAircraft XAircraft Camera Mounts !!! In-Stock !!! XAircraft USA

    Whats the word on the extensions Jeff? 5" would be OK, 6" would be great plenty room left over for USB, AV plugs. Have you got a batch properly cut? any in stock? Looks a great camera mount for gopro (Although it looks like the cage on the gopro version covers up the AV Port), but just a bit...

    Wookong for dummies

    So in Atti mode does it not always want to fight your commands and self level? I have found this with the Gaui 344 controller on my 330xs, the only filming I have done has been in 'hover' mode which is self levelling, I suppose akin to the atti mode without alt hold. I get a lot of wobbes as I...

    Wookong for dummies

    Looking for some basics here: Could someone explain the WKM's 3 modes to me in simple terms please. I can only use the gaui 344 controller as a reference. Manual, would this be like 'cruise' on the Gaui 344 controller ie similar to normal heli? The 'Atti' mode I presume means attitude...
