    f450 naza m lite with gps question

    When you let go of the sticks out will not instantly stop. It will self correct and become stationary before holding. The higher your attitude gains in pitch and roll the faster it will level out. Also if you have not mounted your GPS dead strait you can suffer from 'the toilet bowl effect'...

    Can you convert the DJI FC40 to 2.4Ghz control?

    I converted a friends FC40 to use a Futaba T8J a couple of weeks ago. You can set it up to have it like the std, so one switch for IOC, one for GPS/atti/manual, plus you can set up another switch for forced failsafe/return to home. I then set up a nob to use for gains or gimbal control, and...

    Advice for getting started with multi-rotor helicopters

    If anything I would advise that you take a look at your voltage warning settings. Assuming you are using a Naza Fc, out of the box they are very conservative. You can go to 11.1 v for stage 1 and 10.1 for stage 2 very easily. Secondly you can try using a 4s battery. That will help a lot. I...

    You just can't beat a Naza or Naza lite... naze/KK etc will work, but you will outgrow them and want better very quickly, that's if you can be bothered to ever get the multi wii in the air. Is buy kit that will make it easy to fly to a good standard strait away, that will also last well...

    Is Bigger Better

    In general larger is more stable, but larger also brings more expense and complexity. Anything from 350 (Phantom size) upwards can/will be rock solid. Id advise a Phantom of you want a ready to fly, or build a basic F450 if you want to learn how to build one. Both are very stable, and the f450...

    30A plush ESC turn when armed

    If one is not turning, you need to INCREASE the idle speed. That's probably you're problem. You say one motor is sticky? Can you feel any resistance to turn it by hand compared to the other motors? If you can you have a bad motor. If the bearings are bad you don't want them letting go, even...

    30A plush ESC turn when armed

    You may need to increase your motor idle speed in the Naza assistant. Since your not using Dji escs, try increasing it from 'reccomended' to the next stage up. All rotors should fire up together now. Sent by my thumb, a trusty slave to my crazy mind. The above is the ramblings of a lunatic, and...

    Can I have Manual mode *AND* RTH mode accessible?

    I also have a mix set up to achieve this. In the Naza assistant you leave it set up to GPS/ATTI/man, and leave it on any 3 way switch. Then set up any other 2 or 3 way switch as a mix - from your mode switch channel to the same channel. You then set it so when activated it pushes your mode...

    Difference between 8" and 10" DJI props

    As a rule of thumb the smaller the props the faster RPM they need, and therefore the higher kV motors they suit. I'll list the pros/cons: Larger props can make more lift, but require more torque from the motor to turn. Larger props have more inertia, so take more time to speed up or slow down...

    New member hello!

    Hi guys, just joined up to MR... I am from Wickford in Essex, UK. I've been into RC for quite a few years, mostly cars, but a few years ago that led to CP hellis and then a Phantom... Needless to say that was outgrown quickly and I've recently built a F450 with all the normal odds and ends...
