OK to back up all your data and settings is important. This includes your Email an email settings, bookmarks and saved passwords etc. All this is in your user folder, a lot of it in your user Library folder. So try to copy your entire user folder to an external HD. Also of course copy all data...

If you actually managed to back everything up, I would say do a reinstall and restore. But as that did not work, you could just copy all your Data. And then reinstall after reformatting. I will elaborate on "all your data" soon. But DW is a lot easier and you may be able to get it for more like...

Ok this means you have a disc problem. This is not ususally hard to fix. The best utility to repair this is DiskWarrior. Available here: http://www.alsoft.com/diskwarrior/ Or in any Apple store. You can try to use the DVD or repair volume (depending on version of mac you have). Disc utility...

The first thing you should do is back up your HD. Use Time Machine to do this, it is built into OSX. You need an external USB or FW drive to do this. I would always do this before any major partitioning to an HD. If you keep getting the above message when trying to set up the Win partition...

Send me a private message. I make camera equipment on CNC machines and I have a complete development studio, I also work with local high volume CNC shops. I just started to get into RC for video so I would like to talk with you. The video gear I make can be seen at: http://www.westsideavstore.com

The full size 1920 x 1080 file can be seen on Vimeo: https://vimeo.com/56781223 Getting there, camera is NX5n with 16mm lens on a F550 with 6400 3cel lipos. The gimbal is a 2 axis run by the Naza. I have a separate FPV cam to see the video frame. I am prettty happy with the results. I get...

Does it fly well? When you are in atti or GPS mode mid throttle does it stay at the same altitude? Unless you have problems I would leave it. If you want to adjust it the Naza assistant program works well but it takes a bit of time to learn it. The trick is you have to both understand the...

I fly with a bit more than 3KG, I will post photos soon. It is easy to check CG. Just pick up the 550 with a finger under the built in "landing stubs" on the arms. Do this for each of the three pairs. Move the battery or whatever you can around until it stays level no matter what pair of wings...

Different brands of threadlock use different colors. The brand I use, Locktite, green is for easy removal, blue removable but quite strong, red permanent. I have used this brand for over 40 years now, and I am really used to this color scheme. Here is a quote from a different forum: " Zcop...

I had a problem using Sbus with an 8FG super, traditional works fine but the FUTL7666* R6203SBE 2.4GHz FASST Mid-Range Micro Receiver simply would not work with the Nasa config program, even though the sticks and switches worked fine and could be configured, I kept getting a CONFIG err. My...

No switch 1 and 2 and then 3 and 4. Flipping prop does not reverse it.

It looks like the props are reversed, in the photo above. Verify by turning each prop by hand, with battery disconnected of course. And look at how the prop cuts through the air.

It sounds like the some or all props are on backwards, or the props are in the wrong positions, double check paying attention not just to rotation of motor but that the props move air down not up. Do this with everything off, dont get near the spinning props!

I use blue thread threadlock (locktite) it can be taken apart, the gel is very good and easy to control. The liquid is OK but can be messy. Dont use RED it is almost impossible to take apart. Green may be OK but you want to check screws often with green. Try to be neat adhesive eats plastic...

Yes this is completely normal. An inline switch would keep this from happening (you would not see the spark) but it is more weight and complexity.

You can just buy a disc image and download it on the WEB. I think I payed $45 for a Windows 7 Pro install specifically for Bootcamp install. It runs great on my lat 2012 MBP w/o DVD or HD just SSD. Very fast, the install is much faster than on a new PC, most likely because of the SSD. But it is...

The video is as mentioned flown by someone with a lot of time, and who is very comfortable with his rig. I have a 450 and a 550, the 450 is very maneuverable and quick, this may have to do with the heavier weight the 550 is carrying 3000+ grams. It is important to swing your compass and find...

I run bootcamp on a MBP, it works better than my HP with W7. Bootcamp is really the way to go. Once you figure out Naza Assistant it is very easy to use. And the best way to tune your machine (trim the gains etc). You can also easily control a gimble. I would suggest getting a battery tester...

Vin, I am just running the standard ESCs and motors. I got the props here:http://rc-drones.com/Props.php I got the balanced ones, I run them on an F450 as well, they are quiet and vibrate much less than the DJIs. My motors did not get hot, slightly warmer than with a lighter load but less no...
