    Props--- what brands work?

    I'm going with the Graupner's, I only wished I'd known there was a problem with the 10" props. I knew about the 8" and never had a issue until this weekend, I'm getting ready to build a new hexa and use the WK-M on it and it will NOT use stock props. I like everything about the...

    Props--- what brands work?

    It seems you don't understand. The prop problem was the 8" and not the 10". Its easy now to just buy props after you know, but when you think everything is fine and have a totalled F550 and F450 in the same weekend from not any fault of your own that is a problem. I was lucky I never had my WK-M...

    Props--- what brands work?

    its going to be hard for me to sale anything to the members of our club if I go back and tell them DJI told me to buy stronger props when it was a stock ARF and everyone seen it fall to the ground from a 100ft hover. I love the frames and the FC's but the supplied props are a bad deal.

    Props--- what brands work?

    This is starting not to turnout the way I'd hoped it would. I emailed and ask about warranty on my lost DJI products. In the past two months I got three kits, two NAZA's, one WK-M with other parts. I lost both a 550 and 450 in two days and the F450 malfunction was in front of a group I was...

    FPV Goggles.... types and brands?

    I can't understand why they would leave interpupillary distance adj. off the Dom and Pred models, I like the eye cups over foam, but I'm afraid they'll not fit my eyes. How about the Aviator Edition????? or the Base.

    don't use DJI props they snap 8"

    I now think I joined the broken prop club... I was flying yesterday doing some test flights on my quad and hexa and I was doing power climbs from eye level to about 25ft. I did one then came down to about 4ft in a hover then all of a sudden the Hexa flipped over forward moving doing a 1/2...

    FPV Goggles.... types and brands?

    I'm wanting to get Fat Shark Dominator's. Has anyone found goggles you like better? I'm going to be using them in 1.3GHz so the built in Rx is not a problem with not having or having built in Rx. I see all kinds of type/brands and would like to hear from people who has used these along with...

    DJI NAZA and DX8.... Do I really want to program fail safe in the DX8?

    I been thinking about this, if the NAZA has its own fail safe- auto land.. why program the DX8 fail safe to hold a mid-stick throttle and other inputs???? Wouldn't it be better to let NAZA do its own Fail Safe... or am I missing something? Thanks!

    Any good ARF FPV's ?

    Thanks for all the tips and videos. If I were to collect everything I needed what would be some of the components models and brands to use for a maybe not top of the line but good quality and upper end stuff. I'm thinking it may be easier to collect everything I need. thanks for everyone's help.
