    F550 props l/h thread issue

    I recently bought a new version of the F550 but the self tightening props have 3 left hand thread motors and 3 right hand. (2212/920KV) This means as far as know, that I'm now restricted to using only DJI props When I asked my provider if they issued separate left hand thread nuts so I can use...

    Best FPV camera

    Thanks for the tip and the pics Kloner. Not sure if ready made would ship to Australia though. Being new to all this, I don't have a clue on everything I'd need to start. That includes the camera, goggles and anything else. Any suggestions to steer me in the right direction would be much...

    My Flyaway Came Home 5 weeks later

    Very funny indeed! I can just imagine Hitler rolling around kicking and screaming in a tantrum in the middle of a field in his jodhpurs and jackboots blaming everyone but himself as his DJI Phantom disappears over the horizon. :highly_amused:

    How to do flips and rolls query

    While these little critters are probably great for learning how to do flips and rolls etc, everything I've seen indicates that the stick mode is locked in mode 2. I've learned to fly in mode 1 and changing to mode 2 on one of these and then going back to mode 1 for my main quad would all be too...

    My Flyaway Came Home 5 weeks later

    Exactly. This had nothing to do with the model or brand of quad. This had everything to do with my error in flying into overhead power lines which reversed the satellite disc. The machine did exactly what it was told to do by the navigation system and could just as easily happen to any make or...

    F550 and Aurora9X Wiring quandry

    I'm relatively new to all this but I just bought a DJI 550 after losing my F450 in a fly away which came back 5 weeks later (but that's another story posted here) and want to use my Hitec Aurora 9x transmitter coupled with an Hitec Optima 9 receiver and Naza M Lite system. However, while I can...

    How to do flips and rolls query

    As a relative newbie flying in GPS mode with my DJI F450 with naza M lite, I've restricted myself to flying in GPS mode. However, I'm now ready to go a bit further and want to know how to do flips and rolls. I realize I need to be in manual mode to achieve this but I'm wondering if anyone knows...

    What's the difference between atti mode and Manual?

    Thanks to everyone who posted here. The info provided makes it so much clearer and I certainly wasn't aware that the manual mode still works after fail safe has been initiated.

    My Flyaway Came Home 5 weeks later

    Thanks for that. I'm just wondering how loud the ringing tone is or whether it's adjustable? I'll certainly check it further.

    My Flyaway Came Home 5 weeks later

    I didn't mean it was a rare occurrence for DJI's, I meant it was a rare occurrence for me. I live in a very sparsely populated area and the mere fact that it did land close to anything other than trees, is also rare in itself. I don't quite understand what you meant by saying "I've been doing...

    My Flyaway Came Home 5 weeks later

    I have no idea what you are talking about or why you would post such a reply when I made it quite clear that this instance was a rare happening and is extremely unlikely to ever happen again. I can only assume that you are one of those people who posts such idiotic replies in order to spoil...

    My Flyaway Came Home 5 weeks later

    On Easter Saturday I cried as my DJI 450 flew away into oblivion to never be seen again..or so I thought. I'd been flying just on dusk amidst a heavily treed area just near where I live. Visibility was getting low so I decided it was time to quit so I started to bring my 450 back towards me...

    What's the difference between atti mode and Manual?

    I've been constanlly flying in GPS mode as a beginner for a month or so and now ready to be a bit more daring. I have an DJI F450 with Naza M Lite fitted and it's getting a little boring flying around in the limited GPS mode so I swtched it to Atti mode but it didn't seem to make a lot of...

    Flashing lights suggestions required for poor eyesight.

    Thanks for the suggestion and I have seen those advertised but didn't know how to use them. As I mentioned, this is all new to me as is the terminology. So what's a UBEC? At the moment I'm using a 3s 11.1V 4000mAh battery but thinking about getting a 4s for the extra flying time but I believe...
