Hey; I'm running a WKM on a stock F550 Flamewheel ARF with Graupner 8x5 props, 4S. I am finding that my yaw is "twitching" every once in a while. I first thought that it was the wind, but now I'm thinking it's a gain issue. In fact, I don't know what to think. But it is noticeable on my...

Well, turns out that it is the back of my GoPro Hero3 that is getting hot! The back plate of the GoPro mount of the Zenmuse H3-2D got up to about 127 degrees in 15 minutes! So I think I'm fine with my wiring and all as there is battery voltage on all the power leads coming off the power pads...

Ok. I'll flip it over to the other side. I'm running my system on a 4S LiPo battery, so I should be good with the voltage. The problem that I am seeing is that Zenmuse gimbal is REALLY hot to the touch - never ever noticed that at all so far. So something is not right somewhere. I am...

I have a Flamewheel F550 with the Wookong-M and a Zenmuse H3-2D gimbal running a GoPro Hero3. The Zenmuse H3-2D is wired directly on to the power distribution board where the battery leads are soldered. I have been running it this way ever since I got the gimbal and all has been well. Now, I...

So here is my power harness for my RX and my monitor. Two 2.1mm barrel connectors soldered in parallel to an EC5. I believe I am good to go! I also included my 10.1" RMRC monitor. This setup is just waiting on a battery and a transmitter for my multirotor. Can't wait to get this going! :cool:

Your's looks like what I'm about to make for myself!! I see that you have a power lead running in to the octopus cable that contains the video jacks. I saw in my ReadyMadeRC 10.1" monitor manual that that plug is indeed a power input to the monitor. From the looks of your images, that's...

I have a 10.1" monitor from ReadyMadeRC that is a 12V input monitor. So I think I understand what I have to do. Thanks!

Cool! Thanks for the input. I'm currently investigating how I'm going to wire all this up to a 3S LiPo. Thanks.

Hello All; I just purchased a 10.1" LCD monitor from ReadyMadeRC that I want to use as my ground station monitor. I am interested in coming up with a way to power the monitor with a LiPo battery in order to make my rig totally portable. Any ideas? Here are the specs on the monitor: Input...

Yeah, that's what I'm finding. I can't find the 9x5's anywhere and they're expensive. I hate like hell to give DJI any more of my money. I welcome additional suggestions. Thanks!

Hello; I have a F550 Flamewheel with the stock motors and Graupner 8x5 props. I have the new Zenmuse GoPro gimbal along with a Hero3 as well. I also have the Pulse 6600 mAh flat-pack battery that I fly with. I feel that the copter is very mushy. Although I haven't really played with the...

Yeah, I don't understand the logic of using 3S vs 4S packs. SO I guess I'll go with the Graupner 9" props just to be safe. Thanks!

Ok. I too am a GA pilot and have the Garmin G1000 in my aircraft. So I get what you are saying. Thanks! BTW: I fly a Wookong-M in my 550.

Yes. I did adjust the mounting values in the assistant software to match the new position of the antenna. I need to recalibrate. I want to put on 10" Graupners. I am using the 6600mAh 4S Pulse flat packs with my F550. IS this a problem?

Then why do you have to align the antenna? I mean it's a GPS system, isn't it? Please explain.

Cool. Thanks for the information. I'm a fan of the Graupner props so I think I'm going to try the 10" ones and see if that makes a difference in the flight characteristics. I'll also recalibrate and rotate the GPS antenna accordingly even if I don't understand why. Thanks!

Hello; I have a F550 with the stock motors and Graupner 8"x5's. I have landing legs, the Zenmuse H3-2D gimbal with a GoPro Hero3, and a 6600mAh Pulse flat pack. The performance is a bit lacking and I'm finding that I am getting a massive toilet bowl effect when the copter comes home to land...

Cool. Now, which props to use... I think I am going to order 9" Graupners and try those to see how it flies. Will that impact my flight time? Is there anything else I need to worry about?

So, I dialed up my gains as per recommendations. I'm flying a F550 with 8x5 Graupners and the stock motors, with a H3-2D gimbal, and a 6600mAh 4S flat pack battery. Pitch. Roll. Yaw. Vertical. Basic. 210. 210. 110. 137 Attitude 175 175 60%...

I just got this thing to a workable state! Not me...
