    Switching to home lock, can I do that after it has traveled some distance away

    I have a Naza light controller, DJI 450 Flame wheel and Futaba 12FG radio system. I fly in GPS mode with my Fat Shark and keep it close by within sight or in an area I know. My question is can I switch to home lock from manual after the quad has travelled out of sight and will it recognize it's...

    450 DJI Gimbal build

    Machined up some aluminum angle for my Fat Shark camera. Here are some pictures. The rectangle with the threaded hole in the centre of the plate clamps the servo carrier to the bottom of the 450. Picture two is the bottom view and picture three is the top view where the camera mounts...

    Batteries and what I found

    I have six batteries that are 2200 mha three cell 20 c and two batteries that are new and are 2250 mha three cell 35 c. It appears the c rating is very important when it comes to multi rotor. With the 20c I get just under eight minutes of flying time with the 35c I get eleven minutes of flying...

    Has anyone mounted three 2200mha three cell batteries on a DJI 450?

    I'm thinking about flying with three 2200mha three cell battery packs to increase my flight time. Some say use four cell packs to increase flight time but I'm more comfy using three cell and want to stay with them. So my big concern is can the quad deal with packing around 6600 mha worth of...

    Should I have my Fat Shark camera on a gimbal?

    Is it better to have the Fat shark camera rigid to the frame or would it be better to put it on a gimbal? If it's right on the frame I would think you would get a better feel of what the aircraft is doing but if it was on a gimbal you would get a more steady veiw, whats the best thing for a guy...

    I can set home lock and off or att lock and off but not both

    I have a Naza light and a Futaba 7C radio system that I can set every other function on but I've run out of three position switches. I've got GPS/ATT/MAN set on the three position switch which works fine but I only have a channel six dial type or rotary knob left to work with and so far the only...

    DJI 450 flamewheel and Naza Controller going above battery specs

    Wanting more flight time I did some asking on this forum on how to get more. Increase battery MHA and add a cell was the answer I got plus some examples of their own setup and experience. My stock 450 Flame wheel with eight inch props recommends 2200mha 3 cell lipo batteries so I ran two of...

    So glad I went to multi rotor!

    I used to think of myself as an RC helicopter pilot although a bad one but I digress. Since I received my 450 Flamewheel and Naza light I've gone to multi rotors to stay. My reasons are 1. you can have a serious crash and it will come out without a problem whereas RC helicopters require a major...

    Anyone ever make their own gimbal?

    I'm looking to build one for my DJI450 and need to know if anyone has built one of these from scratch, what did you use for material and servos? Will standard servos work on these things or do I need something special? Any and all pictures of gimbals homemade or store bought would be helpful too...

    Want more air time

    I have a DJI450 with a Naza light with GPS that gets about five minutes with a three cell 2200mha 20c lipo. I want to install some lights and a FPV system but I also want the most time I can get flying it with all of this feeding off the main battery, any suggestions?

    This is a whole new ball game!!

    I came to quads because I am heli challenged even though I've been at it four or five years. Time came to tune my new DJI450 with mounted Naza light system as per posts and a tiny bit of help from instructions. Got it to work, lifted off the quad the ground nicely and it sat fairly steady in a...

    Wish I never bought this thing!!!!

    I have a Futaba 7C 2.4ghz radio and a Naza light controller on a DJI 450 quad. I can't get it to work all I get is config error 8 and when I reboot it after all the flashing I get a very fast flashing red. On the screen the sliders are all green and the throttle slider is on the left side black...

    How do I set up my Naza light and DJI 450 to work with my Futaba 7C 2.4ghz

    I'm mainly looking for setting numbers on my radio and on the computer calibration part. I have it assembled with the exception of the props being put on but once I tried to get the motors working with the USB unplugged all I get is a constant rapid blinking yellow light. What am I doing wrong...
