I've been trying this on in my usual set up to see how it feels, and so far I like it (not that I've actually flown with it or anything, just the feel). The only thing I don't care for right out of the gate is the sliders on the back. They feel a little hard to push around. I love the idea of...

I went and checked out Futaba's video on the radio. They say that the only physical difference is in the sliders on the back. They are a little bit longer on the super which would be nice, but not a deal breaker for me. I'm going to keep it and do the upgrade and enjoy life. I like to support my...

Damn, I wish I had finished reading all of this thread before I went to the store. I picked up the 8FG, but it's not the super, just the original. Should I take it back? The rx that came with it seems to only be 8 channels compared to the 14 that comes with the super (or does it even matter if I...

I had a few Futaba radios back in the 80's myself. Mostly 4ch Attack's. I still have a couple back in my mom's garage. It's a trip to check them out now. I just called and had them set the 8FG on the side for me till I can get there. Thanks gang, I wan't even looking at this radio, but am glad...

Wow, I didn't realize that the 8FG was actually a 14 channel radio. I just assumed it was 8 because of the name. My LHS has one in stock, so I might run out and get it. As it is now, I can't even set up RTH as a failsafe till I upgrade my radio. One question though, what do you guys think of...

Will the 8fg give me enough switches for the WK-M? I was thinking the 10cg, but if they 8 is good enough then I can actually pick one up from my LHS. -Terry

I've finally came to terms with the fact that I've outgrown my Spektrum DX6i. This radio came with a single rotor heli that got me started in this hobby in 2010. It has served me well, and I've hacked the crap out of it to make it do more than it should be able to, but finally it's time to move...

Yuri, you are correct. If you select a preconfigured set up then the values will all show 0 still. They only change when you move to a custom mixer set up. -Terry

Try rotating your GPS unit a little bit. I had the same problem and that took care of it. Look at the arrow first and see if it appears to be straight through the middle of the craft. Give it a twist either clockwise or ccw and see how it affects it, then tune accordingly. I was beating my head...

Hey Bert, Glad to see that someone is manning the station. It's been a while. I have to ask though, what's going on with XAircraft (the manufacturer, not XAUSA)? It seems that the X650 v series was defected from the very get go, and then the manufacturer never tried to do right by their...

I'm curious what the temp was when the accident occurred. I was wondering myself how "unbreakable" these frames are under low temps when plastics tends to get more brittle.

Welcome to the board, Tom. Looks like you have officially jumped down the rabbit hole. Enjoy the ride! I'm actually not that far away from you in good old Baltimore. Let me know if you ever want to meet up and do some flying when the weather starts to break. -Terry

I think the answer is yes, but you can set up some expo with out causing any harm. I keep my end points at 100% and then set my expo to either 20 or 30, depending on the mission I have to fly and the weather.

Figured I would bump this. I know with all the GoPro users on this board that SOMEONE has got to be sick of the fisheye lens and looking to replace it. So has anyone else seen these yet? It looks to be brand new to the market. -Terry

Have any of you seen the new GoPro lens from RageCams.com? They have a nice collection of sizes and options, and even for the new GP2 model. I think I might get the 4mm. They fit in the case still (unlike the sunex) and give me a 95 degree fov @ 1080. I saw they have some night vision lens as...

You should be ok with that positioning. I was mainly worried that you had the rx up front just above the vtx. I set mine up so I had the RC rx up front (with a satellite) , then the vtx in the back with the GPS centered and up above all of it.

Where do you have your RC rx? You should try to keep that and the vtx as far away from each other as possible.

I'm using an FPV set up with my WK-M. 5.8ghz and seeing no problems. I have my transmitter just a little further away than you, but not much. I also have an extra long antenna lead that I ran away from the quad to try and get away from all the other electronics. I mostly use the GoPro for...

Hey Tom, Have you tried the Haier monitor yet? I got the 7 inch TV version with the video input, but it doesn't seem to work with the input. I've seen others saying the same. Curious what you found. -Terry

I just got my first one back from Apple. I can't believe how quick they got that to me. I just ordered it on Saturday and it wasn't supposed to be here till the 13th. The quality looks great, even for a GoPro image. I might try to order the same thing from snapfish and shutter fly to see if...
