    Radio Wars

    If your going to go the Jeti route, then don't get the A2 flight controller - it's heavily biased towards futaba/s.bus radios and there are PPM issues with other systems at the moment - Boris has a thread detailing his issues. Go for the WKM instead. Personally, i'd not touch maytech esc's...

    Radio Wars

    It works… what else is there to say? People have a gut reaction to radio brands and to whether they spend top dollar or not. The DS-16 is a premium product at a top dollar cost, but it is beautifully made - sothe choice is yours. You DON'T need the R18 - i have one and it's a huge beast of a...

    Radio Wars

    I fly with a DS-16 - best radio i've used. Manufacturing quality is in a different league to anything i've previously owned. Programming options are hugely flexible too. You don't need the various telemetry modules, but i fly with the Jeti current sensors on all my multi rotors and also use...

    DJI Zenmuse H3-2D Gimbal for GoPro.

    NO! leave the switch for the flightmode alone! You're creating a mix to a new/unused switch on the radio which only changes the signal on the U channel when this new switch is activated. If you change the switch you currently have assigned to the U channel, you'll muck everything up.

    DJI Zenmuse H3-2D Gimbal for GoPro.

    are you sure you're using the WKM and not the naza? as far as i'm aware, and i fly both naza and wkm equipped multis, it's the naza's latest firmware which gives the option to swap manual for RTH and this ISN'T what i'm suggesting you do. either way the radio mix RTH set-up will have no effect...

    DJI Zenmuse H3-2D Gimbal for GoPro.

    You just need to create a mix on your radio which forces the flightmode into the FAILSAFE area and assign that to a spare switch on the radio - when activated it adds/subtracts x% travel to that channel. Once set-up you can see it working in the TX monitor pane of WKM assistant. When you...

    Peli case for phantom

    Just wondered if anyone knows which off-the-self peli case works for the phantom. I know there are specific cases available, but i'm not using the stock radio so would prefer to pluck foam to suit my needs - and maybe save a few £'s.

    Jeti and S800 Evo?

    I use the DS-16 with my s800 and other MRs, best radios I've ever owned. The build quality alone is a magnitude better than anything ive seen/owned. Makes the expensive futaba radio i used to have feel very cheap and plasticy. The flexibility with configuration and the integration of the...

    Receiver failsafe settings

    Wonder if anyone can offer some advice on best practise for failsafe receiver settings? So in the event of loss of communications between the radio and my S800 I want it to come to a halt/RTH I'm thinking, A, E, and R set to centre stick with T set to a point just below hover. IOC will be set...

    new naza firmware - glitch?

    Had some time to revisit this build and make a clip of what's happening. Watch the flightmode monitor bar on the laptop screen - it jumps from the current flightmode to failsafe in an intermittent glitch. Double checked travel and centre/sub trim for the flightmode switch/channel, but in...

    DJI Released New Firmware 3.14 for Naza-M V1、V2 And Phantom!

    You won't find many haters of Feiyu-tech in the fixed wing FPV community - i've heard an awful lot of good things about their stabilization/RTH units and know people who have them in ALL their FPV rigs. You might however want to look at the newer FY41AP unit which has multirotor as well as...

    Jeti DC-16 radio

    I have a Jeti DC-16 radio up for grabs. I bought it (from an official UK supplier) as a stop gap to the release of the DS-16 and used it to set-up models on the bench. It's seen about 10mins of use outside and is in close to perfect condition. Comes with the Jeti aluminium case, euro charger...

    Matts PVC T-QUAD

    Wouldn't mind seeing a few detail photos of that gimbal and wire isolator if/when you get chance. There's something very appealing/satisfying about this quad which makes me want to build one too.

    new naza firmware - glitch?

    Just had a go at upgrading my V1 naza with the latest firmware. procedure was straightfoward enough. Did a Tx calibration, but just sitting watching the Tx monitor i can see the flightmose channel intermittently flicking into failsafe. i'm not touching the laptop, radio or quad. It's just...

    SteadiDrone QU4D - Foldable GoPro 3 Quadcopter!

    i do prefer to buy and know 'whatever' is going to be in the post within a day or so, but there seems to be a wait of between 1 and 4 weeks for a frame only kit. UK dealer quoted 4 weeks; order, pay, wait. They order from SA as and when they receive orders, so i can't see a reason for going...

    Brushless Gimbal Complete - Vendor Links

    umm… i just had a read of that thread. A lot of questions seem to be going unanswered or people getting the wrong end of the stick - but that's pretty typical for RCG. It looks like a really good gimbal - i'd be prepared to invest if they offered the option of additional modular parts so i...
