    S1000 motor offset angles

    Yes.... apparently without the motors tilted, the ability to yaw quickly and forcefully is limited by the motor counter-torque forces but with all motors tilted appropriately, the FC yaw capability is improved. This, apparently enables the MR to maintain a straight heading without yawing as a...

    Switching to Superx from DJI Naza-M

    A friend has a SuperX by Xaircraft and sure enough, it crashed from 300 feet just recently. All motors stopped in mid-air. We are still trying to determine the root cause. Assuming that the NAZA FC systems was at fault, moving away from it might be a good choice. On the otherhand, if the problem...

    DJI A2 spare RC Xmitter outputs

    Documentation seems to indicate that four RC Rx outputs can be directly mapped to output devices and therefore bypass the A2 FC, these being D1, thru D4 and these correspond with F1 thru F4. I would like to make use of one of these to remotely control my BGC camera pitch angle.... But it only...

    S1000 motor offset angles

    I am not familiar with the S1000 construction. But I think you are saying that the top of the motors are tilted in towards the center of the MR hub by 8 degrees..... which means that 4 of the motors are tilted by means of the grommets by 3 degrees cw and the remaining four are tilted 3 degrees...

    S1000 motor offset angles

    Which of these two angles is the one that leans the motors towards the hub? Each frame arm is designed with an 8° introversive and a 3° inclination, making the aircraft more stable when rolling and pitching and more flexible when rotating." And can I assume that the other angle is the...

    Forum members - What's the face behind the user name?

    Despite "Facebook" etc. I think you have a good idea there. We are all interested in seeing our colleagues in MRF. Still looking for a "best before date" photo of my face.

    A2 or WK-M?

    Both WKM and A2 are promoted by DJI for commercial and industrial applications. Although there might be some industrial and/or commercial clients who have higher expectations as to what a commercially ready product can provide in terms of reliability. Seems the WKM started to misfire after...

    GoPro or FPV First?

    IMHO - If your main focus is on aerial photo/video work you will need to move up to the GoPro Hero 3 Black or 3+ Black which can also function as your FPV camera. In that case you might want to stick with a 7 inch FPV monitor mounted on a tripod. Fatshark goggles are best suited specifically for...

    bench power?

    A normal!! 12 Volt source might not be adequate for two reasons: 1) Inadequate - instantaneous current available 2) Too much ripple in the dc power supply (most electronic devices designed for DC power cannot tolerate ripple in the power supply). However if you choose a high quality 12 VDC...

    Orientation, what's the secret?

    If you find the Pelican cases a bit too expensive try the following: http://www.uwkinetics.com/ I have several and I like these better than the Pelican cases. We have a local supplier who sells these at trade shows w/o the extra shipping costs.

    HobbyKing USA Warehouse...

    The original posting was concerning USA warehouse issues only. I have dozens of orders from HK International warehouse with virtually no issues except for slower delivery but that was a personal choice so as to save money. And savings have been significant such that I continue to shop there.

    DJI S800 EVO-Current Issues

    If you dig hard enough for the dirt, you will always find it. What you will not see is the thousands who are flying their MRs with no issues other than pilot error starting with misconfiguration on the hobby bench. Motor and/or prop vibration needs to be resolved on the bench before flying any...

    2014 - best ESC at the moment?

    Seems to me that the transition point from P and N FET ESCs to 100% N FETs is 40 Amps.....i.e., at 40 amp and above they are all N FETs.

    Risk Awareness Item

    Please be aware that it is possible to jam GPS signal and also disrupt 2.4Ghz RC signals with certain electronic equipment. And we know what that could do to RC VTOL aircraft such as Helis and Multirotors including RTH functionality: http://transition.fcc.gov/eb/jammerenforcement/jamfaq.pdf...

    DJI S1000 Owners Thread - Mini Build Log

    I started with the NAZA then moved up to the WooKong M then finally the A2 now for my Cinestar 8..... Each is a significant step up in terms of additional features and flexibility etc. When attempting to justify the extra cost of the A2, take in to account that the s.bus receiver is already...
