My first thought was... if I named it after my wife... and I crashed it... it would have gone down on me ;) I haven't put a personal name on any of my models, cars or toys. The tempermental ones could have girls names ;) Pete

Put it down to experience... drop it in a bucket of saltwater - and it will be ready for next weeks rubbish. Pete

Oh great... thanks. I'll to flip less :-)

Question time - I have the rsgs fitted and working but I cannot set a roll limit. I have it set 25/25 deg but it will roll as far as the copter can go. When I flipped the hexa the other night, the mount tried to keep up and made coffee grinder noises... not good! So - it is set in the...

Start the video camera... this could be good ;) :black_eyed:

They don't have a fuse. Which two wires? The main two or the balance plug? If it was the main two, a solder-tab between the cells may have de-soldered itself. Pete

4.6.r2 - I'm still unhappy with the AH. I have tried all manor of settings but they either drop 2-5M before steadily coming down or if it does stay, it only does it for a few seconds before slowly descending. Has anyone achieved a good 30 second AH? I know it is important to be almost level +...

I now have 30 min on the X-quad on 4.6.r2 and while I am still sorting the gains, it is nice - especially in manual mode. I removed the problem board from the VM-6 Hexa and set it up without any other connections on the table to 4.6.r2. Everything worked perfect. I moved it into the frame...

After getting frustrated with the Hexa board, I grabbed the 3Kg X-Quad and flashed that for 4.6.r2 and it is nice. Really nice. AH and AL working well. Horizon level when I hit Al - as shown on the Client Software. Sweet... I'm not going mad ;) Thanks to the weather for giving me a 5 minute...

I have just taken my time and done step by step slowly, waiting for the LED, waiting for things to connect properly. 4.6r2 flashed and calibrated. The horizon is still off 5-10deg. I needed "84" right roll trim on my 10C to make AL steady. I put 3 packs through it with 5-10 km winds. I am...

I have run two 1.3G Tx on different channels on the same heli. They were separated by 75cm of machine. Each tx was on a stalk out the each side. I have not tested 5.8G... except is doesn't take much to upset 5.8... Pete

Thanks for the explanation George. I have tomorrow off "work" so I will try to get this sorted. I may not have cycled the power between flashing and calibtation and most probably moved it ;) Cheers Pete

I have downloaded 4.6.02. I have so much doubt (in what I have done) after flashing 10 times in 4 days - starting with 4.6, changing to 4.6r2, rolling back to 4.3.860 (where after redoing calibration I have a 45-deg horizon - 3 attempts) therefore I am starting from scratch tonight - where I...

I gave in with 4.6 + 4.6r2 as the AL was really unstable in the descent. I never got a good artificial horizon. I have tried to roll back to 4.3.860 but my board hates me. Even after I disable temp + acc and redo them, my horizon (on the client) is at 45 degrees! I'm not game to try AL with...

drool... all over my desk at work (and not just by me...)

I cheat and use a servo-speed-slower between the rx and the controller. I have a 4 sec slow tilt for 90deg movement. Works well with the HFP controller so I hope it will be OK with the rsgs...

Droider... I am tilting mine with a slider and as I unticked 'slew,' it tilts just like it used to when I went thru the HFP fc. Pete

The stability / oscillation you mention... I nearly had the hexa flip last night in 10mph wind - while trying to trim AL. I have previously flown in 20+mph with 4.3. I was blaming myself for pushing it. Perhaps not...

I have 3 KK2's with lcd now. My disposable quad - I crank the stick-scaling up to 80 and I flip and roll all day with it. It handles flipping to inverted, diving while rolling so well, I was blown away... Change it back to 30 and I have my fpv setup sorted, without a pc at the field. They...

I'm still battling with crooked OSD and needing nearly all the right-roll trim on my Tx when setting AL trim. The weather packed in so no more testing. My board is level on a nice straight unbent DW VM-6. I have a public demo on Thursday so I will get it functional and deal with the other...
