    Thanks, RCF. That is an 8fg. I switched from a smaller Spektrum. Using the Wookong with altitude hold makes flying low and fast MUCH easier, but I got my chops on an Open Pilot quad. By the time I could control that under most situations, I could control anything. After just a little more...

    Thanks, Ken! I do have a dedicated FPV cam on board that I use to monitor battery voltage and such, but on this particular flight i was viewing through the GoPro. I just nuked both of my gimbal servos the other day, so it was basically hard mounted. I'm trying to get used to viewing through the...

    Mombassa, according to my wife I do not! We had a good laugh at when I was editing this about the egg shape of my head when the goggles are strapped on! Thanks, Ross. Personally, I fly better in the goggles than out of them. I just try to maintain some level of forward flight most of the...

    Immersion 5.8 600mw tx

    BTW, Future Hobbies is where I ordered my last one. I only ordered from them because their site showed them as in stock. As soon as it was paid for, I got notice that they were out of stock. 2 months later when I finally got my order, they had dropped the price from $160 to $75, but I was still...

    Immersion 5.8 600mw tx

    NGHobbies.com had them as well. I've got one arriving tomorrow along with an 11db patch antenna. I'm determined to get some decent range out of this rig if it kills me! ;-)

    How to position hold and hover with Naza

    The Naza doesn't have PH, only the WKM does. No GPS in Naza. You can get a good hands off hover when it's tuned properly, but that's not PH.

    Rustys Hexa vs Foxtech Hexa ?

    How does the old saying go? Cheap, strong or light weight. You can have 2. I have the quad version of the fox tech. it's very light, but not not strong at all. It's great for a sport FPV craft, but wouldn't hang a decent camera under it. The landing gear is kind of a joke and I'm sure it would...

    Immersion 5.8 600mw tx

    I signed up to be notified of the next shipment. I think I blew the power amp out of my current one. I'm only getting 150 meters max range. We will see how the new one performs.

    Immersion 5.8 600mw tx

    That didn't take long to sell out. I wonder how different the new version is? I'm on my third one do these now and starting to wonder if I should switch to something else, especially since they are rarely in stock any where.

    Official thread of Satisfied builds or great RTFs to praise?

    If you are looking for something that just works without much fuss, you really can't do much better than the F450 DJI. The XAircraft stuff has a pretty bad history of not working as advertised. If you go to their main thread over at RCGroups, you will find about 1200 pages of dissatisfied...

    Aeroxcraft Quad-670 (for DJI) - Now on Sale

    So how did the motor mounts end up working for you? I know I inquired about the vibration damping from an early test model, but you mentioned that feature had been shelved. What do they look like now? Do you have any photos of the actual release version of the frame? Also, what are the arms made...

    Aeroxcraft Quad-670 (for DJI) - Now on Sale

    Any on-board footage available yet? I'd love to see the effects of the gimbal. Nice frame btw. ;-)

    DJI Zenmuse gimbal and S800 Spreading Wings preorder

    Sounds more and more like XAircraft every day. That sucks cause I love my wookong, but it seems this company has taken serious turn for the worse, with scammy offers like that.

    Should I swap CC board for Naza?

    Hey gang, I've been using a CoperControl board on my FPV quad for some time now. It's had it's ups and downs, but I've mostly been happy with it. Last week I flew my AP quad with a Wookong for the first time via FPV. I was blown away with how stable it flew. Now I'm wondering if I would get a...

    Show us your FPV Multicopter

    That's looking good, Kevin. How is the Immersion VTX working for you? Are you getting decent range? I think I blew the power amp in mine and I'm barely able to get 100 yards now. Would love to know how yours works.

    Programming ESC's

    No one has any recommendations? I think the only thing I might need to change would be the timing. Should I just go for "high" and see how it works? -Terry

    Programming ESC's

    Of all the time i've been working on single & multi rotor copters, I've never once had to program my ESC's. I've always been lucky enough to have them work out of the box. I think that luck has ended though and I need some help wrapping my head around this. I'm flying an x650 frame with 4...

    Cost Per Flight

    100 flights and your motors & esc's need to be replaced? 20 flights / set of props? If that were the case I'd be ordering new props every week! Why such a high turn over rate? Sounds high to me. Just my 2cents.
