I had a rather spectacular crash the other day. It was windy and she was drifting towards some trees and I couldn't make out her orientation so I brought her down. It was at a local high school and unfortunately she came down hard on the asphalt running track and not on the grass. I...

I dropped a tip in the jar, Bart. This site has been invaluable.

Thanks for that video, QA!

Once again, Dave...I'm a little embarrassed :) Turns out the voltage on my power supply was too low so I was getting a low battery warning (a constant trill beeping). Strange that it only happened after I adjusted the altitude settings though. Anyways, buzzer is off now after cranking the volts.

Help! I'm having an issue with altitude control on my MK. I changed a few of the settings and when I wrote them the buzzer started going off. It is constantly beeping now and I don't know why. I've changed the settings but nothing seems to help. Any ideas? What are your ideal settings?

Thanks, Dave...will try that...bedtime for me though...have a fine day :)

Thanks, Bart. FPV is working great. I can't wait to fly! Now about that summer, Vancouver...anytime now. I hear the rest of the continent is sweltering and we are cloudy, rainy and no more than 16C/60F. I should get some video posted soon. Thanks again, Bart! The problem was the battery saver...

I hate to keep asking questions but what would be the best way to set up the poti nick control with my Tx? I have a DX8 Spektrum. How do I set it up and what settings do I use in MK-Tool? I don't understand how you would use a poti for more than one function. Thanks again for all the help. I...

I'm using a Mondo Stinger 5.8 500mW Tx to a Nano 5.8 receiver. I'm getting static so I know the receiver is working fine but nothing is being transmitted. I'm not sure how to set the channels so they match. I'm looking at this PDF...

Thanks for the free class, Ken :) Much appreciated!

Great. Thanks, Ken. I'll give that a shot.

Sorry, Choppercam, how do I do the acc calibration? I thought I had to choose between poti tilt and auto-tilt. These are the default settings I have here.

eee...no. I don't normally do that indoors so I didn't do that. THANK YOU!!!! It works now but I still have the original problem of the mount being rolled up to the right somewhat. (see pic below) How do I fix this?

I just mounted my MD2 camera mount and the servos seemed to work fine at first though the mount was rolled up a bit to the right in neutral position so I turned it off and straightened the mount to a neutral position and when I started her back up the servos weren't working at all. When powered...

I have a GH2 and will definitely hack it...but not with the first release. I can wait for a bit. I am very happy with the video quality of the GH2 as it is.

Bart, is there a way to add "SOLVED" to the post title?

I just solved it, Bart. Somehow, the receiver settings spontaneously switched to 'Jeti satellite' from the 'Spektrum hi-res' setting. It's weird...I didn't change or adjust anything. Oh well, I'm thrilled that there's nothing wrong with my board!

After a nice evening of flying I put my octo to bed. The next day I charged up the battery and took her out for a fly. ERROR: I turned on the Tx and the octo but the octo was beeping that there was no Tx. Back to the fixing lab. I plugged it into MK Tools and it says 'no receiver connection'...

Yeah, the stock buzzer is way too quiet. It was hard to hear over the kopter noise.

Figured it out...needs to be set to Spektrum (high resolution) to work. I had it set to Spektrum. Just maiden'ed her! Took her to the field by our place and flew her til the low battery warning. Did a flip, pitched her in to the grass a couple of times but overall no damage. Well, that's not...
