    XAircraft Getting ready for new Pro version

    Just spent a little time with their manual and my Futaba 8fg getting ready for tomorrow. Have a few questions that maybe someone can help. Couldn't find answers in manual or googling. I've mapped the 3 way switch for manual, atti, & gps to my SB switch. Channel is not reversed so when...

    XAircraft Getting ready for new Pro version

    tahoelight; I got an email back when I inquired with the company about xy8 that said they currently didn't support the xy configurations. They hoped to in future but not now. Ergo, why I decided to convert my xy8 to x8 for now. SleepyC mentioned he tried his xy8 and didn't have good...

    XAircraft Getting ready for new Pro version

    Sorry for this extended post, but I'm racking the brain this morning on a boat load of what if's. SleepyC. Your MR's look sweet, very good cable management. I am too lazy to spend the extra time on managing my wiring and permanently mounting stuff. Partially because it seems I'm always...

    XAircraft Getting ready for new Pro version

    ViQuad Your install makes me a little jealous. My quad with Naza V2 is a bit cluttered when you look between the plates....My x8 is even worse. What motors, battery, and flight times you getting with that setup? Are the rails that your gimbal is mounted on part of the...

    XAircraft Super X on TBS Discovery

    OK, I've made a hit list of my equipment that I'm going to sell and gonna try a Super X. Thinking of going all in and putting it on my xy8 instead of my small quad which is flying extremely well with Naza M v2/ gps, tarot/gopro 3. If I could set exposure control on the GO Pro, I wouldn't be...

    XAircraft Super X on TBS Discovery

    I have a 12 lb x8 on Hoverfly PRo and quad on Naza v2 w/ gps and small GoPro/glimbal. I am starting to like the quad's flying in att mode and gps mode for video and photography. Looking for something more than manual in the HFP. ON the octo's does anyone have an opinion on the smoothness of...

    Group Build 2014, DJI NAZA/F450 Quadcopter!

    I would suggest the f450 as you described. I built my first multi rotor this year. A 12 lb x8/ xy8 MR that I learned to fly without any major crashes. About 6-8 weeks ago, I built a f450, 2216 motors, 10" props, Naza V2 w/ GPS. Use my 5000mah 4s batteries & Tarot GoPro gimbal. Got to say...

    Immersion 5.8 gHz wiring help

    Maverick. Thanks. The pics give me some ideas. No need to spend more money when I'm pretty close now. 2nd pic gives me an idea to maybe make a small frame and double deck the monitor and then put the Immersion receiver/antenna on top of that... I'm trying to stay small and nimble (if...

    Immersion 5.8 gHz wiring help

    30 cm is almost 12 inches. Bit much for what I was hoping for on a hand held platform that I could walk around with. It would be pretty awkward to hard mount it 12" way. Is their anything I could shield it with or maybe mount the Immersion unit under the the base plate (3/4" hard wood) and...

    Immersion 5.8 gHz wiring help

    Works fine. I ended up hooking ground up on Tarot as well as for the Kopterworx. Tired (on the table) both the tarot and gh3 send a nice signal. Will try the other cameras later tonight. Kloner, once again, thank you. If we ever meet up, I owe you a bear or burger.......... Next up, any...

    Immersion 5.8 gHz wiring help

    I got the Kopterworx from Bart (couldn't find anyone with a freefly hdmi converter). There is a note int he Kopterworx that says do not hook up power, just video signal and ground. Will try that first with gh2, gh3, and 5d mark II. Being from the video industry, this is mind boggling how much...

    Immersion 5.8 gHz wiring help

    See photo. This works on my quad with Immersion 5.8GHz 600mW TX. I have connectors from my lipo distribution to the immersion. I have a single connection from the tarot video signal to the immersion. No video ground to Tarot. I have a 2 line connector from from the Immersion 5v...

    Naza V2 and Misc Flying questions

    I've been thinking about doing something similar as having two blinking lights near the motors on the front. When in ATT mode, I can see the blinking amber light on the back side I thought maybe getting 2 lights on the front might work for me. I'll do a little googling on mike lights...

    Naza V2 and Misc Flying questions

    Hands off works, unless I'm in that moment when I don't have time for the glide to stop. I like to film where I get the MR sort of gliding and then just maybe a little yaw going. I can have the pitch and roll in the middle, but have to counter the momentum and if I don't have orientation...
