    Lesson learned,,, the hard way

    Wow - you are both unlucky and lucky at the same time. Good post though. I had a similar situation (but with much less gruesome consequences) happen to me on my Gaui 500X quad. I was holding the centre of the quad and one motor kicked in to full noise hitting my forearm. Luckily it screwed the...

    Gaui Gaui 10x4.5 props explode too

    Had my 500X spit a prop blade yesterday whilst hovering at 200 feet FPV. You can see the blade fly off quite clearly in the GoPro video before the quad spirals into the ground. I had always thought that the Gaui props were pretty good (they seem well balanced), and had never had this happen...

    Props and how important they can be to your video

    Im in New Zealand. I have tried the local "Distributors" who don't carry stock and can't seem to find them anywhere else!

    Where to find Graupner Props (or equivalent)

    Looking to upgrade the props on my F550, looking for the Graupner somewhere I can buy online (and send to New Zealand). Anyone know of a decent online shop that sells them (or something similar)? Cheers

    DJI Zenmuse gimbal and S800 Spreading Wings preorder

    The system looks pretty impressive from the extremely limited amount of info/footage available. Definitely a risk to pre order but then hey it might pay off and you could save a few hundred $$... it could also be a DJIsaster... Like everyone else I am very much looking forward to seeing footage...

    Need battery suggestion for a F550

    I bought some 4S 5000MAH 35C Zippy batteries from Hobbyking for my F550. So far performance has been really good. With a payload of 520 Grams (simulating what my camera mount will weigh when it arrives), I get about 8 minutes of "filming flying" - meaning mostly slow moving hovers and climb...

    DJI 550 / Naza gain settings

    DJI 550 / Naza gain settings

    What are people running as gain settings on their Naza/F550 combos? Im running 4S with 5000MAH batteries - keen to shortcut the dialing in process! Cheers

    Unstable F550 just likes to flop around.

    I had the same thing happening with my F550 and gaza... turned out I had the M1-6 slightly wrong. I would unplug them and plug them back in 1-6 correctly just to be sure. Solved my problem and it was exactly the same as your description.

    Medium size Hexacopter

    Mike - I am specifically looking for a Hex rather than a quad or X8, so I can swap the F550 gear straight out. These look real good http://www.foxtechfpv.com/full-carbon-hexacopter-foldable-frame-p-373.html but are lots of $$ otherwise I am tempted to buy the hex from himodel or quad frame.com...

    Medium size Hexacopter

    Hey everyone, I have just received my Flamewheel 550 which seems like a nice kit. One thing I notice straight away is that the arms are (VERY) heavy. Im thinking that in the long run I would like to swap all the electrics out into something a bit lighter, and hopefully folding (for easier travel...

    DJI NAZA Drains battery?

    I switched my Gaui 500X over from the GUY 44 to a DJI Naza a few weeks back. While I am happy with the performance, I am really disappointed that I have lost approx 20% of my usable flight times. Its very noticeable that it simply uses a lot more power than the Gaui FC. Could I be doing...
