    Are my props too big?

    I checked them all beforehand and they were all **** on. Also, the aerial footage on the video above seemed vibration free - TBH I didn't check that closely, but it seems okay. That was done with the gopro hard mounted directly to the front boom! Gunter.

    Are my props too big?

    I fitted my 11x5 Graupner Eprops this weekend and it make another huge difference! I took a guess at setting my gains at about 150%, and it just flew lovely! The AUW is around the 4KG mark on 6 rotors. You can see how smooth it is in the video I did testing the new firmware. There are a couple...

    New Octo, very unstable!

    Big beast that is at 1000mm m2m!! It sounds like as Geoff says, you are flying in manual mode. Also, make sure that the IMU direction is 100% correct in the assistant. If its set the wrong way round the heli will flip very hard. (ask me, been there!) with the damage you have done, I reckon it...

    WKM firmware ver. 5 test video

    Yes, it made me chuckle as well! Not even sure it makes sense if you change it to "click" !! Regards, Gunter. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Yes Keith, a good way to test it, but I am sure resetting it would work as the home position. Snippet from the user manual below:

    Yes, it probably would. And all stick commands would be in relation to the new home point. It might be a bit confusing! Regards, Gunter. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Im not sure, that's one of the things I need to find out. Would be very good if it did! Regards, Gunter. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Apparently you can reset the home position in flight, just flip the position switch 3-5 times and the green light will flash. That is now the new home position. But the heli has to be at least 10 metres from home before it works. Gunter.

    Brilliant Boris :) :) Yes, that is what it looks like. The home lock is so much better, because you can fly wherever you want and it always comes back straight! I did notice a small bit of drifting when bringing it back, but is was very slight and I easily compensated. Gunter.

    Has anyone had experience with this camera? It seems to do very good HD video for the price and size. The colours in the video below are vibrant and the quality is brilliant. I understand that it's probably not for high end users, but for me it looks perfect. Sample video:

    Rich, it makes piloting a lot easier if you aren't that happy flying in different orientations. I can't see myself using it all the time, but very handy to have if you flying far away and orientation becomes an issue. I would never dream of flying like I was in that video without it.

    Yes to all of those, but I'm not exactly sure how the MK works, whether it just goes straight forward and back. Regards, Gunter. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    WKM firmware ver. 5 test video

    No problem Boris. It is very difficult to understand the manual at first, but after reading it again and again, it becomes clearer! Once set up, it is very easy to use. 1. Make sure there is GPS. 2. Fly in GPS mode. 3. Make sure the home point is set, normally this is automatic. Fly! Regards...

    WKM firmware ver. 5 test video

    I headed out to do a test video of the home lock function. It works a treat. One thing I noticed is that when I flicked over to "go home" at the end, it just stayed where it was and didn't do its usual failsafe. I will go out at try it again tomorrow, but I'm sure it is all set up okay, so...

    WKM firmware version 5.0 is available

    G, Twas in GPS mode. I didn't actually try it in atti, the instructions say use GPS mode. I'm dead chuffed, one of the big things I think the WKM lacked...now no more. It was the first time I have ever flown "carefree mode" but it makes things so easy. Oh, it was also windy here, but not...

    Strange pulsing of power.

    I have the same problem on the Naza build...it jumps up and down like there is a short somewhere, or as you say, someone is playing with the throttle. I'll have another look tomorrow! Gunter.

    Are you using the Voltage Monitor?

    I managed to blow up my first one. Geoff sent me a second one and it never worked properly...it started flashing a low voltage warning 10 seconds after taking off! I now just use my esc's for power and a lipo monitor + timer on my Tx to monitor the battery.

    Just come back from the field, it works lovely. Flick the switch and she flies away in a straight line, no matter what direction you yaw or are flying in. I'll get a video up a bit later. Regards, Gunter. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Gunters new octocopter build

    What I meant with 130mm is that the flight controller sits on a 130mm diameter plate. There are lots of other bits that need to go on there as well. Thanks for the positive comments! Gunter. Regards, Gunter. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
