Hello everyone out there, I'm having a bit of trouble tuning my Wookong, and would love to hear from anyone who has been through a similar situation. My set up is as follows… Octocopter 8kg Camera Ship Wookong Firmware version 5.20 IMU V2 Gains - - - - Pitch / Roll /...

Just a quick one. What minimum distance do people have the propellors from each other? I am interested in those who run flat 6 and flat 8 configurations. Cheers.

Look out people! Lucky now you can protect yourself with this state of the art Personal Drone Detection System. Finally it's safe to go outside and continue digging my nuclear bunker for the upcoming nuclear apocalypse...

So talk to me about motor alignment. Whilst most of the propellors on my XM8 are fairly close to horizontal level, there is one that is a bit off. Maybe the holes weren't drilled in the booms perfectly inline with each other. Should I just put a shim or two between the motor plate and the...

Putting together a new rig, and wanted to get everyone's opinion on the best, or most trusted firmware for the Wookong Flight controller. Which version have you had the most success with. Is 5.26 any good, or are you still sticking with 5.20 or lower? I will be using it with the V2 version of...

Selling my Eagle Tree eLogger V4 100A version with EC5's soldered on. You could quite easily remove these connectors and attach which ever connector you prefer to use. This is in great condition, and comes with the software disc. AUD$50 + shipping.

Before I start warming up the iron, I thought I'd post this here so other people can have a look over what I am planning, and double-check my layout. Better to do it now before finding out in a more destructive fashion later on. Please feel free to upload your wiring diagrams, as I have found...

I have a eLogger/OSD from EagleTree (the 150A version), which I am looking to install on a new Octocopter. However, my current draw may exceed the 150A that the eLogger is rated for by some 10A (according to eCalc). Has anyone encountered this situation before, or found a way to work with it?

I'm shopping around for a new Flight Controller. I've only ever dealt with the NAZA systems, and have had no problems so far (knock on wood). I fly mostly in Attitude Mode or occasionally GPS mode, and will most likely continue to. Kitting out a larger flat 8, for use in Aerial Photography. I...

Hey all, I'm interested in people's opinions on the various lipo's from Hobbyking, and if there is one type that is generally considered better than the others. By better, I mean power delivery/endurance, and the number of cycles you get out of one. I fly with 4s 5000mAh packs mostly and to...

Hi all, Just wanted to get some opinions on what sort of AV/TX system people are using for your MR's? Doesn't necessarily need to be HD, just your most successful setup for day to day use, when you are working in Aerial Photography. i.e. dual transmission, diversity, 5.8gHz, 2.4gHz, signal...

Hi there, I am putting together a XM-8, and was wondering if anyone can tell me whether there is any issue fitting the power distribution board from Aeronavics inside the 185mm dome? From the manual it looks like a tight fit. As well as the pdb, I am planning on one extra deck in there as...

Hello everyone out there, I'm looking for a new brushless gimbal to suit the gh3/4 and BMPCC. Trying to avoid a zenmuse so that some camera/lens interchangeability is available. I know there have been plenty of these discussions before, but I'm hoping that there is a gimbal that people have...

Hi there, What are peoples thoughts when it comes to mounting your Flight controller and Gimbal controller to the frame of your rig? Do you use a vibration dampening gel, or double sided tape, or velco, or something else? I've got a f550 with a Naza M v2 and a H2-2D. Both the Naza main...

To all of those that are running a DJI F550 with the nifty AeroXcraft landing gear, I wanted to know if you have found that due to the design, with your camera and gimbal mounted so far out from the body on the metal rails, that any vibrations from the platform are amplified down those rails? I...

Hello all of you out there, I have a question with regards to vibrations that are mainly apparent in windy conditions. I'm not talking a gale, but more a constant breeze. Flying a small F550 with a GoPro set up, and am finding that the footage that I obtain from flights that are conducted...

Hello All, I have a new dji f550 that is my first venture into multi rotors after a long time in single-rotors. I have built it with the NAZA M V2 and a Zenmuse HD-2D, running 4S 5000mAh pack. Yesterday was the first time that I have tried to fly it at any great distance. However after about...
