    Small X8 build - 3d Printing Parts

    you can get the plates fairly smooth I stopped the print because i could deal anymore time wise and knowing i will not use them i just need them for a prestinstallation and looking if things fit. For plates in general the PLA extrusion dosent make any sense. The strength is more in shapes that...

    Small X8 build - 3d Printing Parts

    printing done, vibration mounts boom clmaps and top bottom plate. I must say though printing the plates is a drag 4 to 5 hours, Think i am better off bringing it to the laser cutter guy 5 min away from my house and get it cut out of wood: all printed in quick and dirty, certainly better quality...

    Small X8 build - 3d Printing Parts

    i must say i am amazed that some parts are really robust and can be used in a functional way for sure. the ability choose the density of the components also makes them light enough ! Think that just the first printer of several to follow :)

    Hello from an old fixed-wing guy.....

    Hi Dave, since you have experience with rc planes I dont think that you will have any problems with getting a multirotor in the air ! You have serveral choices: For example FCs: Mikrokopter Hoverfly DJI - WKM or Naza Autoquad APM etc. they all differ in features and some are more...

    DJI S800 Zenmuse & wookongM experience + Power Problems?

    its is an akward one. But one could also look at it from the other side. If it is a power issue why would it work in manual mode. There is no draw difference or minimal between manual mode and attitude mode were extra power is needed for leveling. If it acts normal in manaul mode logically for...

    Removing DJI GPS from Mast - Do's and Dont's?

    In general i would advice to get rid of the all the double sided stick tape and use dual loc http://www.3m.com/product/information/Dual-Lock-Reclosable-Fastener.html. Just much cleaner and part come of and can be stuck on again. Only the IMU should always be mounted with double sided. I even...

    DJI S800 Zenmuse & wookongM experience + Power Problems?

    Forget my approach about the VTX. I wasn't aware that you have a VTX DJI setup. I suspected you having a VTX of a different brand needing arround 1000MW which results in drawage that can be problematic if connected directly to the WKM setup of the GCU video out port of the Zenmuse. Bug free...

    DJI S800 Zenmuse & wookongM experience + Power Problems?

    What kind of videos transmitter are you using ? how much A is it drawing ? How and were did you connect the videos transmitter ? Dont worry about the c rating of the lipos. 25c even 10c should be enough for the S800 fully loaded running on 6s. There seems to be problems at the moment of a...

    S800 WKM Configuration

    I was wondering about that. Since the WKM nicely adjusts the throttle hover point in attitude/GPS mode no matter if weight was added or removed. So there has to be somme calculations going on to adjust that, which than again would seem like they would also adjust the whole throttle range if...
