Hey, that's a good idea! I keep forgetting that I can do that with the Naza. I'm used to the Open Pilot Copter Control, witch doesn't like any radio mods at all. With the OP CC it's all done in the GCS. Thanks Tahoe Ed, that's good advice. Any ideas about running 4s?

So, just to make sure I understand; You are saying that the bird is too lite/light (not sure of the correct spelling) for the props. But I don't lift off until I get to mid stick, then I'm in a hover. But when I switch to GPS mode the bird thrusts up quite quickly. I don't understand why that...

Thanks man, Yes I'll try a parallel. I actually use Anderson Power Poles. They are the best! and no soldering necessary.

Hey ksrimoungchanh, I'm thinking of dual packs in parallel. Actually, that's a great idea. I'm also thinking of running a 4s bat. Will try one out tomorrow when my best friend comes up to Ottawa.

Really? I'm confused. I had the stock 10x5 props and then I switched to the Graupners 10x5. The machine is running very quiet now to. Heard that the Graupners were supposed to be very efficient. My set up ARF DJI F550, 3s 5000mAh, Graupner Props 10x5. Is there something wrong with my setup by...

Well, I've been pressing write each time I make a change in the GCS and I allow the GPS a chance acquire satellites before I take off at the beginning of a flight. I'll try a few more things. and see what happens.

Yes, I get a red flickering light. and the GPS seem to holding the Hex in place.

I've set up a 3 position switch for intelligent orientation to turn on in the DJI GCS and I've set up the switch in my radio. When I plug into the DJI GCS the switch shows that its working in the switch monitor and is highlighting the different options in Intelligent orientation pane. But, when...

Whenever I flick into attitude or GPS lock my DJI F550 suddenly ascends, I have to pull the stick down to stop the raise, but when I go back to manual the Hex will suddenly drop and descend and I have to give throttle to stop the plummet. Why can I get my Hex to just stay at the same altitude...

Wow, That seems very short to me. I'm getting that kind of time with my F550 now. I'm hopping for longer if I go to a 4s. BTW, do you mean 3.89 vollts left in the pack? My low voltage is at 10.3 and I consider that quite low. 9 volts would be near dead for my 3s. I didn't think you could run a...

Tried the Graupners The bird seems to run a little quieter with the Graupners but requires just a little more throttle. On my old 3s 5000mHh batteries I get about 8 min to 10.4V. I think this is a result of my batteries being kind of old and having many cycles. I will try 4s soon and see if I...

I'll show you a pic of my prop and motor balancing set up soon. My buddy is borrowing my stuff for the next night or two.

Wow, those props are great!!! $150. for all six is a little pricy, but they look great. Tell, which do you find more stable 8" or 10" props?

@ ksrimoungchanh, Looks like the props are nice, but the hole diameter is a little small. Well actually very small for the DJI motors.

Sure I can upload some photos in a couple of days. the pointy top of the nut could be the issue. BTW, thanks for the link.

Thanks for the input I do like it. I might try Lock-tite but others have suggested not to use it as it can damage the plastic. If I use Lock-tite I'll only use a tiny bit.

Lock tight won't help. The nut simply runs out of thread before it reaches the top of the prop hub preventing a snug fit. You could put all the locktite in the world on there and the nut would still run out of thread. But I got some 6/16th washer and they fit well. This should use up a bit of...

Hi, I just did the 8mm washer thing and the washer is a tiny bit bigger than the shaft, maybe .5 to .75 of a mm to big. Seeing how i can't get this dead centre would this not unbalance the motors?

Cool, I'll go to Home Depot tomorrow.

I have an issue with the Graupners. While they fit right onto the DJIs, the threads on the DJI motor's prop adapter/shaft don't run deep enough to hold the Graupners tight. The hub on the graupner is shorter than the hub on the DJI props. How do you guys get around this? Do you use a washer or...
