    Too much prop weight for a U3?

    Hello out there, I own a custom built Flame Wheel F650 Heavy Lifter and am using Tiger Motors U3's. I originally started out running Graupner 12x6' eProps @ 22 grams per prop, but am running a little low on lifting ability. My current AUW is 5443 grams with 1434 grams of possible payload...

    Never saw this or had problem like this on my charger before

    Hey William, I run two Maxamp 12000XL 4S's with my F550 which is actually a F650 because it has extended arms. Anyway, I change them @ the 20 amp level with a Hyperion charger simultaneously. It takes 42 minutes. I was told to charge them @ that level by Maxamps. I haven't had a lick of...

    F550 heavy Lift Upgrade

    Hey SkyDyno, I'll throw in my two cents worth. I just built my own heavy lifter and I am extremely pleased with the outcome. I used the extended aluminum Aimdroix arms from ReadyMadeRC, Tiger U3 Motors, 12"Graupner E-Props, and Castle Creations Multirotor 35 ESC's. I run it with two 4S...

    Phantom H2-3D on an F450/F550?

    If you are putting it on a F450/F550 then you definetly need it. The GCU is the Gimbal Control Unit and it ties into your CAN Bus or, in my case the iOSD MK 2. It controls the H3-3D.

    Phantom H2-3D on an F450/F550?

    Great :upset:, Sorry. I was told buy DJI that you can order a GCU separately though.

    Phantom H2-3D on an F450/F550?

    Hey Adanac, I have spoken with DJI in L.A. on two occasions and found out that they are going to be releasing the adapter plate for the F450/F550 shortly after the gimbal's release. I ordered an H3-3D from http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1042174-REG/dji_zenmuse_h3_3d_3_axis_gimbal.html...

    My flip of death experience

    Hey Benjamin & OneStopRC, I have just put together a new bird. I am worried about the same situation. Please excuse me for being dense, but how do you know if you bound it with a 0% setpoint? Thank You, Eric.

    Newbie from Burns, OR :-)

    Hello out there, I am a brand new multirotor enthusiast. I started out about a year ago with a mini Blade quad. I just blew my federal refund on a bit of an upgrade. I have put together a highly modified DJI Flame Wheel F650; Aimdroix arms, Tiger U3 Motors, 12"Graupner E-Props, Aeroxcraft...

    Is there only one model of the new Zenmuse H3-3D gimbal?

    There is only one version of the H3-3D. I was on hold for an hour and 15 minutes with the DJI office in L.A. and I finally got my answer. There is only one version of the H3-3D and it does come with a separate GCU that you can remotely mount on the Flame Wheel. They said they will release a...

    My proposed F550 Build. Any comments or suggestions are appreciated.

    Hey Lee, I added up the weight of all the components again and ran the figures on eCALC Multirotor with the U3 setup, here is the result: I took a look at the specs for the 3520 series and unless I am mistaken the largest is a 400kv and the smallest prop recommended is a 15 inch. That...

    My proposed F550 Build. Any comments or suggestions are appreciated.

    Hey Lee, Wow, thank you for your input and all the info. I have done quite a bit of lurking around the forum and have tried to learn as much as possible. I was going to run the two 12K packs at one time for the extra flight time, is this a mistake? I know I am underestimating my weight, I...

    My proposed F550 Build. Any comments or suggestions are appreciated.

    I changed the LiPo size for more flight time. In the above thumbnails the first one is with two 5450mah LiPos, and the second is with two 10000mah LiPos. I will go with the latter.
