Long arm custom? So you changed the arms? To what? I just ordered a bunch of those beautiful Aeroxcraft aluminum arms for F450/550. Not extended ones, same size as originals. Do you think they'll help? Is it possible that the original arms twist and vibrate too much for such rigid props (CF)? I...

I see. Ok, thanks! Question: is there any way i could use these props on, say, SunnySky motors? Do they make those threaded engine prop adapters in that size? I got the counter-threaded spinners for SunnySky motors that i have (2216-11 900KV) so that the props become self-tightening. But the DJI...

Hi everyone! I have an F550 that i built using the DJI kit with E300 system. Using Naza-M V2 with GPS. All is well. Decided to try these Maytech carbon fiber props for DJI (self-tightening hubs). Did not balance them. Upon takeoff the hexa started drifting backwards. Pretty noticeably, too. Just...

While i'm waiting for his response i'd like to ask a few more questions: 1. FatShark vs Skyzone? I see Skyzone has diversity reception and also this really cool forward facing camera to look around without taking goggles off. That sounds useful (at least on paper). Anyone actually used these? Is...

Ok! I will definitely reach out to him! Its like a self-induced Christmas every time RC boxes show up :-) I'm 40, I need some excitement in my life :-) Thanks a bunch! Slava B.

I see... Thanks a bunch, kloner! So, let me ask you the following: I want to build a small(ish) quad or hex (thinking BlackOut) for my FPV adventure(s). What would you suggest I put in there? I was thinking of getting me some SunnySky motors, 12-15A ESCs, I already have some FrSky receivers...

FlyGirl: interchangeable? Meaning I can use ImmersionRC's vTx on the aircraft, with whatever camera I have and use FatShark goggles on the ground? I'm assuming the goggles have a built-in Rx in them? Is that a standard or do some of them come without a receiver? I'm also in the process of...

Awesome! Thanks for the reply! I forgot to mention that i'm using FrSky Taranis Plus radio and mostly FrSky telemetry receivers/smart port sensors. Not sure if it'll play into the FPV space but I thought i'd mention it. Here's something else I've been trying to research: Gimbals. Zenmuse vs...

Hi everyone! Awesome forum! Been reading a lot and getting more informed, but I still have a few questions: I've already built a couple of multirotor aircraft (F550, F450, mini250, etc). Using Naza-M V2 on the F550, Naze32 on F450. Now I want to add an FPV capability to at least one of...

I see. Well, i thought of just using a single camera: GoPro for HD recording and, if need be, for FPV. At the same time. Or is this not practical? Like if i needed to look down for a landing spot i'd just point the gimbal down, right? And then edit that out in post.

Wowsers! Question: is it possible to use, say, GoPro as both recording and FPV camera? I could've sworn that I saw this functionality in the XAircraft Stella gimbal. Am I off base? Are there any solutions like that around? Or is it really just not worth doing this? I think FPV will be the next...

Got it, thanks! What's your AUW on the F550? And what's on it? Just for my reference...

Understood. Thanks! Ok, a battery question: so far the biggest one I have is Nano-Tech 5000 mAh 3S 25-50C lipo pack. Should I be looking into 4S? 6000 mAh? What do you make of these new Tattu packs that seem to be twice the price of Nano-Techs? Are they really worth it? They do appear to be...

Chinglish :-) Good one! Ok, I get it now. It seems consistent with the behavior I was seeing (sort of, it was dark). Note to self: flashlight doesn't help when flying a...well...anything. What do I do about the gains? I left the X1 channel for remote gains adjustment but haven't tried it yet...

Wonderful! I was thinking about those Limits settings, but decided to leave them alone since I have no FPV gear (yet) and can only fly line of sight. Here's one for you: what do you think may be responsible for weird response to my sticks inputs? Like when it was flying erratically I remember...

Thanks for the response, bucker! I hear some folks not even using Naza's voltage monitor alarms because they say its not very reliable. They use dedicated lipoly alarms with buzzers or telemetry-based solutions (which I have: FrSky Taranis Plus). I'm nowhere near having the guts to fly farther...

Man, thanks for this thread! I just finished building my very first multi-rotor: DJI FW550 with the E300 system and the Naza-M V2. Tonight i tried flying it for the first time and i was really confused with the lights. I will print this out and carry it with me. One question: i have set the...

Hi all! Another Staten Island n00b here. Any suggestions as to where to go fly multi-rotors on the island and around it? I just finished building my first (F550) and realized that my tiny backyard is not an appropriate "venue" for it...
