There must be a thoretical max speed any hovering machine can do. That is why helis ar a lot slower than planes. If the blade tips reach super sonic speed in airflow they can self destruct. It would be nice for an aeronautical engineer to put together some info to help build a super fast Y3...

I spent most of today fitting my iOSD and 2.4ghz downlink to my X650 Pro. I also mounted the gimbal and installed the UBEC. I powered up and it works perfectly. I felt the UBEC after 10ins and it was not even warm. Hopefully i get my new serial for 5 waypoints in the next couple of days and...

Excellent... My Xaircraft mounts arrived today so may try to set it up in the next few days.

Another thing I forgot to mention above is to note the voltage in hover and at rest. If you get the voltage alarm with the led you can see the voltage for each cell and total voltage. Mount it so you can see it and hover 4-5 feet off the ground to remove ground effect and note the voltage -...

SteadyDrone make claim 50 mph from a standard AP machine? On OSD I have clocked 41mph average over 6 runs 3 with wind 11mph and 3 into wind. I appreciate that the OSD using GPS may not be too accurate but gives an indication. That was in GPS Atti with F550 and Naza. Naza GPS Atti mode...

Smooth flight. Are those the settings Rob sent to you? If not what settings are you using in the setup so when/if I get into it I can have a play too.

My cells Zippy and Nano-Tech both are set to 3.3v to 3.5v under load so the alarm sounds when any cell falls to 3.3v. At rest they are back upto 3.5v which is exactly 80%. Note that the only way to know how much is left is to re-charge them and note the mAh put back in - 5000mAh Lipo takes...

Good advice from SMP There are a lot of people out there with the will to do your job and even the means, all they have to do is pop down to the hobby shop and buy a Phantom and a GoPro and off they go £1,000 poorer but can offer a very good service to the likes of Estate Agents for £100 a...

I have an ImmersionRC 25mw 5.8 GHz running directly from the spare power lead in the Phantom. Do a search on eBay or Amazon do Lipo alarm, there are lots of them they just plug onto the balance lead during flights. You can set the minimum voltage per cell and when one cell hits the limit off...

I haven't asked the question of Rob but the motors are not driving props and 5A is a lot for something which is moving a system which, in theory is balanced. The power is used to maintain that balance and not lift a heavy weight. If there is a techie out there they may be able to work it out...

You don't connect the gimbal in any way shape or form to the NAZA. It is a NAZA free zone. All you need is power - 7.4V (you can use a small 7.4V lipo or a BEC) and a ground and signal wire to the Receiver channel of your choice if you want to control pitch from your TX. No wire goes near the...

I think you were just having your leg pulled. The Phantom is an excellent bit of kit for the price: It is less hassle and more reliable than it's bigger cousins. It never complains about being thrown in the boot (trunk) along with the shopping or fishing gear. It pops into the air as it...

I was looking at the voltage issue and the answer is staring me in the face.... Rather than trying to re-callibrate using 11.1v or 14.8 from the flight batteries the simplest solution is a BEC. Someone did mention this earlier in the thread and I dismissed it in my head because I was looking...

I haven't tried it but could putting the motor idle above recommended help reduce the WKM flop from the sky?

Guards = Weight

Yes connect to the board and then directly to the channel on your RX not the NAZA or WKM. Before doing so be very careful to remove the live or red wire from the plugs, I stripped the whole wire off the harness. Then plug into the RX in the normal way. At the other end where you plug to the...

The other thing I noticed is that if you yaw it dips about 5 degrees towards the yaw and takes about 3-4 seconds to level it's self again. This will be a learning curve for many why are used to plug and play..... Oh well I am going to put this onto my Xaircraft X650 Pro because the F550 is...

If you can get the software to run you can alter the input voltage but need to alter the input voltage so could just wire to flight batteries on the bottom PCB.

Rob has just posted a pdf on his support page with instructions, almost the same as I just posted :- http://www.aeroxcraft.com/content/downloads/uploading_software_martinez_board.pdf And the issues with the drivers for Windoze 7...

I had an e-mail from Rob last week explaining what to do but have not managed yet because of driver issues with my systems. He was going to get back to me again but nothing for 3 days.
