Im actually using the using the Flexport (lower left on the schematic) and not the Lefthand pin set. IDK how to read these things at all. Basically, do you guys think its...

    MultiWii / NAZE / SP Racing F3 What does this do on the CC3D? (only for the hardcore).

    Hey all, I have a tough question. I would be very pleasantly surprised if this forum has the collective knowledge to answer. What does this little resistor do? I ask because I managed to knock the one on mine off. It still flies fine though! Regardless, I tried soldering it back on but it’s...

    Props... How do they work?!

    So, it sounds like its only the tension between the nut, prop and top of the motor which prevents the prop from slipping when the motor is spinning, is that right? I can’t imagine that working… but perhaps its just me and my closed mind…

    Props... How do they work?!

    Total noob questions here: For my second build, I got el cheapo emax motors and props. For the life of my I can figure out how the props will work! The holes in the props are perfectly round. So are the axels of the motors. What prevents the props from slipping when the motor spins?!? pics...

    Naza v2- How to autonomous flight?

    Wait. What? So... With a Naza & btu (w/o the datalink) you can plot your flight with the GS and let it go? Presumably after its out of Bluetooth range you loose telemetry but the quad still goes on with the mission? Can you use the radio tx to flip a switch to override autonomous flight and...

    Naza v2- How to autonomous flight?

    Oh man... now you have me really confused.... So, either way, with Naza or APM, I must have a continuous data connection to my Ground Station or Mission Planner with either Data Link or Telemetry Radio? So, I cant simply program a flight plan to the flight controller (wired or wireless...

    Naza v2- How to autonomous flight?

    Hey all. Quick question (which has likely been asked before): On an f450 w/ Naza v2 + GPS, how can I use GS for autonomous flight? Will it simply work if I simply buy the ~$60 btu unit and connect to the iPad to program waypoints etc? Or do I need to get the $200+ data link for continuous...

    Tarot T-2D crapping out mid flight.

    Hey all. As the subject says, I have a tarot t-2d which simply dies and goes limp and in responsive mid flight (~8minuted in), blue light still flashing. Doesn't always happen but at least half the time. When it does happen I just being it in, in plug and plug back in the gimbal and it...

    Flying Abroad

    Official word from the BRICs?!? Good luck! I say you'll be fine as long as you're smart, except for China... Ask locals before you throw it up. I would hate for you to be hooded and thrown in the back of a van on suspicion of espionage Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
