A123 cells are LiFePO4 not LiPo. Until I just did a search now I didn't realize there are Nano Tech LiFePo4 and Nano Tech LiPo, is there another battery out there that is confusing this? Nano-Tech lipos are lighter and have the same voltage per cell as typical LiPOs (based on what hobby king...

That's OK with me, just a quick correction "11)....FC version .084)" change to version .84

Just attaching a screen shot for reference. It seems that the majority of settings are a little vague for MK. I'd love to see a step by step on how to optimize for them, and what changes should be done for windy vs calm days, etc... My guess is that 70% of people just use the defaults.

I tried out the new features of .84 again and it didn't quite work as expected. In the GPX analyzer graph, the 2 peaks circled in the ground speed graph represents going to the 1st 2 way points. The MK did point in the correct direction for waypoint 1 and 2 (bizarre seeing it spin around on...

Already on order, Droider. RTRyder, yup that's likely the issue, carefree. I'm just waiting on 1 replacement prop which should be in my mailbox today and should be able to retest by the weekend.

The MK seems to handle the same after the update. As for the new features, I haven't gotten the POI heading working. I've attached my waypoint settings. Perhaps you can see something I'm missing. It didn't try pointing in any directions (I should have also used WP2 instead of 2 for pointing...

That was before I updated the Flight Control. If all goes well I'll try it out today and report back.

Did the FC update from .82 to .84, and Navi update from .22 to .24. I was getting time outs the 1st time, disconnected the battery, restarted koptertool. Worked then, did the Navi 1st, and got "Flight Control not compatible" after the update finished. Looks like everything is ok. I didn't have...

It's just a module that plugs into the back of my Futaba 9CHP so that I can use Spektrum Technology.(see http://rc-sailing.blogspot.com/2009/01/futaba-9c-with-spektrum-24ghz-dm8-fut.html , not mine just a quick search got me the link). The Satellite receiver I think is from an AR7100.

Spektum Module: DM8

Here's a photo of ones I just installed.

Droider, my experience was yes that would be wiped, however the latest upgrade comes with this comment "The FC-Settings of the FC-Version 0.82 are compatible (with 0.84) and will not be overwritten". I'll try it out tonight after the kids are asleep and report back. Regardless it should be easy...

Looks like it was only 1 data point at 154 but it was relatively close then, all the others were between 190 and 209. But at 154 it's still considered green. At 47m up and ~ 15m away RC-Quality was 199. My TX is a 9CHP with Spektrum module. I starting to go farther and farther with waypoints...

Using the Mk GPX analyzer of my last flight I see that my RC-Quality varies from around 154-209. Is this the RC signal strength? What values are considered poor or great.

The point of interest is great, autolanding that might be a little too freaky.

Thanks a lot, I'll try heating tomorrow.

I received bearings from BocaBearings and am having a hard time trying to get out the original bearings. Any advice on how to remove them (the motor is an MK 2832-35), or is this simply an effort in brute force and ignorance. Thanks.

Haven't seen this before, thanks for posting. I loved the sound of the winged quad.

Success, I'm sure I went though a whole serious of emotions during it's autonomous flight (does this bring back any memories for you guys :). So what did I do when it was done?... Landing plugged it into my laptop and programed another set of way points. Perfect again. I've got a more...
