    I'm new to prop adapters. How do you know the output diameter?

    Just ordered a set of Suppo 2814 motors that come with a 4mm nominal prop adapter to fit the 4mm motor shaft. So what's the OD on that adapter? 5mm or 6mm? I'm using Graupner 10 x 5 E-props. The Graupner site sells aluminum spacers but I may try and find something comparable at McMaster / the...

    Prop washers; glue to prop for balancing?

    On my f450 I've been using nylon washers to make up for the shorter hubs used on 10" APC's and Graupners. The inner diameter of the washer is bigger than the 8mm hub, so they're a little loose and the like to to sit under the nut not-quite-centered. I was thinking recently about how little...

    Crash report; troubleshooting

    DJI f450 / Naza Went out tonight for a flight, and when I tried to lift off the ground, once I gave it a little throttle it instead tipped over to the left side. I tried again, thinking, "I'll just force it up and see what happens. See if it levels out." Horrible idea. My quadcopter took off...

    Jittery motor problem

    I'm flying a stock DJI f450 with Naza. One of my motors (back right, motor #4) when armed just kind of twiddles its thumbs. Instead of spinning, it jerks back and forth, sometimes making a couple slow rotations in either direction. What could this be? It is an intermittent problem. Seems to...

    Naza falls out of the sky... Attitude Mode / Intelligent cut off problem

    Sorry if there is already a thread here for this issue. If there is, it isn't getting enough attention, because I haven't seen it! :highly_amused: Tonight I tried attitude mode for the first time. When I flew the other day, I couldn't get it to go into attitude mode. I have a Dx6i, which only...

    Meeting with someone in a few hours - what rx should I buy?

    Long story short, I'm meeting with someone to buy a JR 9303 heli model. He has a bunch of receivers, and I don't know if I should get one. The alternative is to pick up something like a Spektrum 6210 at my local hobby store. I need an rx for this weekend, so I gotta pick one up today. Thanks for...

    [SOLVED] Need help - Naza Assistant bug keeping me on the ground Edit: SOLVED - user error, not bug ------ It turned out to be my mistake. I didn't have the MC plugged in to the computer when I tried to install the USB driver. Consequently, the install failed silently. So I thought the...

    Hard Mounting GoPro / Point and shoot camera to F450

    Hey guys, quick question. Just got my F450 in the mail and want to mount a Canon Powershot ELPH 100 to it. When people mount GoPros directly to the frame, how do they do it? Are there screws in the GoPro/GoPro mount that are spaced to fit in the f450 frame? If you were to mount a Powershot to...

    Point and shoot alternative to GoPro for night video

    I need to shoot some video at night for my project. My eventual set-up will probably be a hexa, gimbal, and Nex-5N or similar camera, but for now I am going to be flying a f450 kit with camera hard-mounted. As this is my first multi-rotor experience, I'll be using it to learn to fly and to do...
