    Battery question

    I have an fpv monitor/receiver combo with a built in lithium battery. it allows me to run the battery all the way to 0 volts. I assume it's not a lithium polymer battery? Is the battery safe to leave fully charged? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Basic Setup Instructions for FrSky Taranis, X8R and Naza-M V2

    If you have gimbal control on CH5 & IOC on CH6, is that incorrect? If your using CH5 for the gimbal CH6 for gain adjustment, then where are you supposed to put the IOC? Lastly, I feel like a moron for asking this but what is gain adjustment?

    question about gains

    when someone rattles off gains info like: 125 125 130 130 125 125 What is each number representing? I assume there's some logic to placing them like that? Do they stack up to the same position in the naza assistant?

    Landing Gear setup mystery

    Landing gear servos were just seated poorly. Actually the 2amp power supply works great! Nice having something to plug in & able to work without a LiPo!

    Landing Gear setup mystery

    picked up some retractable landing gear legs. I had them working beautifully on my 550 setup with a 4S Lipo on the bench. I currently have the 550 on the bench plugged into an outlet (12V 2A power source) see attached (not using the lipo on the bench) Everything works perfect, except for some...

    stainless hardware to hold retracts on a 450 frame?

    I know the top of the power distribution board is positive and the bottom is negative, so wondering if it's a bad idea to use small stainless steel screws to secure a set of retractable landing gear? I'm not talking about drilling through the frame, I'm just talking about putting some small...

    bench work without a LiPo -- is it possible

    I tested it on my OM meter. Says 12 volts. Plugged it into the 450, and viola! No need to use the LiPo on the bench! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    bench work without a LiPo -- is it possible

    So technically, I could solder an xt60 to this and plug into the wall & power up my multirotor/naza? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk If Bart taught me anything, this would be the equivalent to a 3s 2000mah?

    bench work without a LiPo -- is it possible

    Can I set up something for testing that will allow me to power up my 550 without using a LiPo? Does anyone do this? I'm waiting on some Lipos and it's raining all weekend....

    does anyone use hot glue or silocone on top of solder connections

    around 3:33 in this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pUTHIL_Xfcc My build is pretty tidy, just was wondering if it was common practice.

    does anyone use hot glue or silocone on top of solder connections

    On one of the DJI build videos, they show the builder using a dab of hot glue on each solder point. Does anyone here do this? In the video, they say to do it in order to avoid shorting.

    LiPo disposal question

    Got the voltage down to as low as I could overnight but still had a tiny bit. I drove a steel nail through it, dropped it in the LiPo bag and placed in the firepit. Puffed a bit, but now voltage reads 0. I assume the nail is the same thing as wiring up the + - together? Sent from my iPhone...

    Electrical Mystery - some guidance needed for troubleshooting

    So, all my wiring looks correct, there wasn't any + or - connections reversed. I'm wondering if it's just the draw of the craft in it's current state. I have a feeling I just spazzed this and hung out with the craft on the bench, plugged in for too long at storage charge. I'll know soon, a few...

    LiPo disposal question

    Have you done that before, should I expect it to fire up with that little voltage?

    LiPo disposal question

    I zapped a LiPo and need to dispose of one. I left it hooked up to an auto bulb overnight and each cell is down to about 0.10v I've read that I need to get them down to 0 before connecting the + - wires together before throwing away. How can I get the cells down to 0? They won't seem to go...

    Electrical Mystery - some guidance needed for troubleshooting

    Interesting. Weird though...How could that little Zenmuse and IOSD draw much of anything, it's tiny... Perhaps its just the load of everything I've listed above. I guess altogether it's alot of pull. I'm going to take the top plate off tonight and route every single wire and write it down so I...
