    Second flight...two problems

    OK I would look for a video that explains how to set it up with the Devo. I know how to set up the Futabo, it took a while for me to figure out the menu structure but once you get it it is easy. Try this search on google: Devo 10 failsafe Naza setup video

    Getting F550 Kit dialed in for video

    Tony, I have just been balancing my props not the motors. There are as you say videos on how to do this. But I found a huge difference just balancing the props. If one is significantly out then it will make for all kinds of jelly. I try to get them all reasonable by sanding or adding glue on...

    Second flight...two problems

    What kind of Transmitter/Receiver do you have? When in the Naza assistant, if you shut the transmitter off, does it go into FailSafe mode, and is the trottle moved to 20% or more. This is an important part of the setup. There are lots of videos on how to do this. It is different with different...

    Bootcamp for mac...help

    Go back to bootcamp assistant and make sure the format of the bootcamp partition is NTFS not Fat32. You may have to update to the latest bootcamp assistant. I am running 5.0.1.

    GPS and Failsafe

    I have a Naza unit and I assume (you know what they say...) they WKM is the same. As long as you have satellite lock on 5 or more when taking off (more are better) you can fly in any mode you like, and if radio contact is lost then Naza/WKM will go into FS mode, and come back or land depending...

    have I thrown away all this money for nothing?

    I use Futaba TX/RX so I can't help you with the radios. But make sure everything works exactly right in the Naza SW. Make sure the throttle ramps up smoothly and 50% is exactly in the middle. Same for the other controls. Make sure your trims are at 0 on your TX. Make sure nothing is reversed...

    Getting F550 Kit dialed in for video

    I use Gemfan Carbon fiber 10x5 that are hand balanced. I just got some Gemfan 10x4.5 nylon carbon mix and 10x5 Graupners E-props that I am about to balance on my DuBro and try. One trick to getting smooth shots is don't use GPS mode. I use Atti, you can start the heli moving and then just let...

    Getting F550 Kit dialed in for video

    Some more F550 and a couple from the F450 and GoPro. I am really liking these setups. The 450 can do the scouting and the money shots will be the 550. I get FPV with amy IPhone on the 450 and on a monitor from the 550.

    Motors won't start Wookong M.

    You are moving the throttle/rudder and yaw/pitch sticks to the lower corners simultaneously to start motors right? Silly basic question, sorry.

    DJI Assistant and Windows 8

    I seem to remember in 7 there is something like use Windows default scaling in display control panel, I think. I had the same thing happen in W7 using Bootcamp, but once I checked that box or something like it the Naza SW showed up perfectly.

    Weight and handling of F550 with gimbal and FPV

    I am flying a stock ESC and Motor 550 with Naza GPS and a 2 axis gimbal and a FPV cam. This is what I am getting for flight times and the weight of rig. These are 3cel Onyx Lipos Now the max rated takeoff weight is 2400g, but I must say flying a little heavy handles pretty much the same as...

    I know it works well for me but I use Bootcamp 5 and OS 10.8.2 with W7Pro. I have used XPpro with bootcamp 3, years ago and it worked OK. I don't know about home edition.

    XP is not supported by Bootcamp 4 or 5. I have used it on older systems but try 7 if you have Bootcamp v4 or later on your mac. Here is a good article on installing bootcamp. http://www.trainsignal.com/blog/how-to-install-windows-7-on-a-mac Try this from the same dealer, they may let you...

    Bootcamp for mac...help

    It is possible you have a bad install disc for Windows. Where did you get it? If it is from a local store ask for a new one. I usually download a disc image for a Windows installer. Windows 7 is about $45 downloaded complete with a certificate. And this is just for Bootcamp.

    I have a 550 and a 450 both with Naza GPS. And for those there are 3 modes: 1 manual -- completly manual, takes a lot of input from you to stay in one place. 2 Atti -- This will hold altitude and attitude if you if you are not giving any inputs and throttle is sat 50%, but not position so the...

    Bootcamp for mac...help

    I don't think 6GB is big enough for the Windows install. Try increasing the bootcamp partition in the mac before re installing. 25GB should be good. I use a 60 GB partition for my Windows 7 installs.

    If you click on the Time Machine icon in the menu bar. Does it say something like: "Latest backup to (name of drive) January 6, 2013" If it does then you are OK. Time machine does compress data so it may be quite a bit smaller than the original. You can also look at the backup in finder...

    You could select either, as long as they are the same. If there are multiple partitions then you have to choose the 320.07gb Fujitsu. You don't have your BU drive hooked to the Mac now right. You don't want to format that. I assume you are booting from the install DVD that cam with the mac...

    There are no guarantees but this works 95% of the time. I would still start a backup routine after the restore. It is possible the HD is starting to fail. With a backup using TimeMachine it is really easy to restore to a new drive or a new computer if yours is lost or fatally wounded in a fire...
