As for the quality of all the AeroXcraft stuff it is excellent and what the Dutch guys may think is that because it looks flimsy it is. However, it is structurally very strong and flexible, relying on engineering and design rather than brute strength 'H' Section RSJs to remain strong. On the...

I haven't explored the software option yet but have a look at my temporary mod, (here) which works a treat to lower the angle.. It is trial and error to cut a wedge but make sure it is flat because the gimbal sets it's self up on boot and positions the small circuit board horizontal in both plains.

You may be able to mount it directly onto those bolts using the aluminium plates and some rubber bushes and over sized washers. As the front and back plates are identical that may work directly using the battery plate mounts. How about contacting Rob and asking him just to send you the top...

What you describe about the clips is correct. The two types are probably different manufacturers DJI use. I have 1 motor with thinner clip but you are right it goes further around the shaft and it is worth noting this is not one of the motors to have failed to date. However, after flying today...

Note: all measurements for bolts and holes are the centre of the holes.

The top plate holes are: Front holes 85mm Back holes 28mm Front to back 80mm The mounting Plates - ie. the aluminium one centre to centre are 70mm the tubes which go through them are 10mm The distance between the two aluminium mounts is 87mm but are mounted with three bolts and could be...

I have the GPS mounted in the centre top plate so my COG values are 0, 0 and -12. The -12 is because it sits about 9cm higher than the top plate and the COG is about 3cm below the plate with the landing gear and gimbal fitted. The new firmware caused all sorts of problems but does appears to...

Judging by the frames on quadframe.com, no. However, with a little work and some hand crafting you may be able to use the gimbal by attaching it directly to the underside. The top mounts are simply held onto the gimbal with 4 bolts and could be removed and attached to any flat surface. The...

Don't jump too fast. I haven't got into the software yet because the linux driver for the java app does not work. I may have to boot into Windose and have another go. Rob sent me quite detailed instructions but also indicated there may be another solution by swapping out the board for another...

I have 3 7.4v 850mAh batteries but am going to try and run this from my main flight batteries. If you used 1200 mAh in 2 hours that means the consumption by the board and the motors must be between 500-600mAh that would mean a consumption of around 60-80mAh per flight. Less than my AV downlink.

Just had a very long e-mail from Rob explaining about the firmware and software so am going to have a closer look on Monday. All his explanation was in Windows but being a Linux user was pleased to find that the primary coding is Linux so am going to use that. This road may be beyond most...

I finally had some decent weather in the UK today and got my F550 to fly on the new Naza firmware. All gains run back to 100% then progressed 5% at a time and have it all set to 125, 125, 100,125, 80 80. As this is an AP platform I need it to be smooth so the two bottom are 80 and rudder is 100...

I found B-Gimbal 049AB-Gimbal 049A on the net the other day. I will boot into Windoze tomorrow and see if that is the software needed. All Rob needs to do is post a link for us and we can then play.

Well I have fitted it all up and it works.... Very very smooth too and no jitter at all. The addition of a Lipo just for the gimbal is a little annoying. I have hooked up a 2c 850mah which only weighs 45grames but that is almost the weight of the camera. Anyway with the new gimbal and the...

I can I I am fighting with the f550 just now and may restore the old Naza firmware as 3.12 has some serious problems. In fact am looking at other systems like the APM 2.5 because it has waypoint navigation too. I did the BNCU-S ground school in March but until I have a machine reliable...

That is the theory but if you do fly over a cliff it's only reference is GPS location and air pressure. If you have noticed the pressure may alter so if the pressure is higher than take off no problem because it will clime to 120ft above take off pressure and fly to GPS location and land. Now...

The trouble is that the products are good quality and obviously work well but I need this to work correctly, understand how to change it and convince the EuroUAs/CAA it makes little or no difference or even improve my machine or it can not be fitted and used at all.

I have searched the internet for the controller board and found some references, mostly in German. I did find a download for B-Gimbal 049A but runs on Windoze only and using Linux means re-booting into Windoze to try it so haven't. Has anyone had any success with this yet. I am not going to...

Are you running your wkm on 14.8v? If so you will be able to alter the input voltage via the setup software when it is made avaible. I have to say it is bad form for Rob to distribute something without manual or software.

I have a couple 7.4v loops used for AV monitor. Are you saying you just hooked it upto the +- on the board and it sprang into life? How about the RC pitch cable?
