    The short and tragic life of a TBS Discovery

    I will say the top plates holes by the arms make that a weak point :shrug:

    8FG & Naza set-up

    Looks correct, check with the Quad plugged in the assistant and see if the throttle stick reacts different on input. Keep in mind that if it's like flying Heli's with expo it may change your mind as at center stick it will feel "dead" within 5% both ways.

    Oh yea especially since I am waiting to install my EzOSD since I had no more room for it on this small F450 frame. The TBS frame will give me the needed mount space

    FPV Turns make me crazy (including raising heartbeat)

    Big part is how tight you have the band around the GoPro after using the hook & loop tape... I use the 3S packs mainly because they all flew my 450Pro heli. But they work great for me so far and get me a total of about 6-7 min of flying

    MWR's sweeping turns are amazing! That's my goal

    In this pic at the bottom you can see the hook and loop tape before I mounted the GoPro

    Biggest thing is have confidence as once you let go of the worry it's all groovy!

    8FG & Naza set-up

    Yes you can basically set some expo in the throttle but I haven't done any of that. My personal preference is to make sure everything is at zero; I like the 100% connected feel with everything and that is how I preferred all my Heli's as well. It's a "true" flight feeling If you like I can do a...

    This is the 450 size hook & loop tape that only needs a little cut to fit under the whole GoPro http://www.alignrcusa.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=201 I'll be going all FPV on the Discovery and selling the standard F450 top/bottom plates. I can't get enough of FPV

    Yeah, compact is an understatement, lol I too have a TBS frame/core ordered but that won't be here for 3+ weeks I'm guessing. I simply use Align Hook and Loop tape under the GoPro not only for dampening but security incase the strap I have around the GoPro ever decides to let go.

    FPV Turns make me crazy (including raising heartbeat)

    Thanks! I barely move the stick forward to keep the speed down until I'm ready for full Fast Forward Flight in Manual mode which is a completly different flight. Here are pics of how it sits now; I uploaded a few vids yesterday and at the end you'll see some quicker banked turns in manual at...

    So far 90% of my flights have been in Att mode and making forward motion turns isn't too hard. Check out the vids I have posted so far in YouTube

    8FG & Naza set-up

    Yea, literally I think those bushes or whatever they are we're planted out there... That area is about 5 square miles It was pretty dang windy but so far the quad feels connected. Thanks, I'm still getting used to the different transmitter feel but so far I really like the Futaba feel

    8FG & Naza set-up

    LOL, Technology works :-) The 8+ mph headwind was crazy on the way back from the 1/2 mile stint. Not only was it irritating to listen to the high pitch wind whistle but you really do need to push that stick forward to keep a steady pace. Tomorrow will be fun for sure, OH on the way back home I...

    Naza--Jumps up and down----Any suggestions?

    Yup, put some black electrical tape on the left side of the Naza box and see if the problem stops... The newer Naza's seem to be affected by the sunlight on that side of the sensor... Mine has a covering that I added to the left side as well
