Thanks Old Man, I've ordered a Watts Up and it will be here Tuesday. I'm still curious though if there is anything in my list that looks out of whack for the way it's acting? Thanks, Ken

I've been reading a lot of stuff on the forums about batteries but there's something funny going on with my quad. It takes off fine and flies great for about 1:30 minutes then starts to lose power. Once I get it safely on the ground I check the voltage and I still have around 12.1 - 12.3. The...

Thanks to Hood49 and TahoeTim. I flew it today in ATTI and it flew really well. I didn't try GPS but I'm happy with the way if flies. I'll go back and recheck the programming link to see what is says abut PID tuning with the pots.

Thanks Hood49. I did all of that just before my first flight. I went through it with a fine tooth comb. I do think it's close but not close enough. Should I be dialing it in with GPS, ATTI or Manual selected? Thanks, Ken

Gary and anybody else that wants to chime in. If you noticed in the video of my first successful flight it was moving around quite a bit. I was flying it in ATTI mode but it really drifted. Part of it was myself "jerking" the controls around but I could not fly "Hands Off". My question is...

I too have telemetry set up to read my voltages and will get an announcement on my transmitter. That's one of the nice features of my Taranis setup. I think I'll jack the numbers up on the NAZA and then ignore them. Thanks for the tip! Remember I'm still new to all of this so learning all the time.

Thanks Gary I appreciate the comments. The sad thing is I'm so diligent at labeling things so I don't make mistakes. I just never thought I could have labeled the connectors wrong. I'm 70 but still... Ken

Thanks Rotorfreek! I have a question regarding your comments. I noticed during my first flight that the NAZA led started flashing red at about two minutes in. Typically that would mean "Low Battery" but when I put it on the bench it measured 12.1 which should have been fine. Would changing the...

SUCCESS!!! As I get older I realize that I can forget things. Also, being a retired engineer I recognize that fact and plan for it. One of the things I do is label things. That way if I should ever take them apart I’ll have a good idea of how to put everything back together. One of the things...

Thank you all for the comments. I have checked everything. I unplugged and plugged everything in. I recalibrated my ESC's. I recalibrated the sticks on my transmitter. I recalibrated my MC. I did the" NAZA Dance". This video is the result of all that effort! I'm attaching all the screen shots...

Thanks Gary for the comments. I'm using Turnigy Plus 30A's. I did program them once when I first started building this quad using only my X8R. I think they should still be calibrated but just thought I'd check. I do have my channels set up correctly as described above. I'm not sure I totally...

The only thing I know for sure at this point is I have the correct props on the correct motors properly oriented and they are spinning in the correct directions. Beyond that I'm not sure. One question? Is there any way to calibrate the ESC's with the NAZA-M Lite plugged into the Taranis X8R...

Thanks Robofreek, I'll do exactly what you say and report back. In the meantime you didn't attach your prop-rotation pic ;)

I've just spent the last three months building my Turnigy HAL Quadcopter with NAZA-M Lite MC using a Taranis X9D Plus transmitter and Taranix X8R receiver. My first attempt at flying it failed miserably. The problem is I have no roll control to speak of. If I move you stick left or right the...

Tahoe Tim, you da man!!! I really thought you had given up on me but in the eleventh inning you come back with a home run :) I had to reverse the Elevator on Channel 2 in the transmitter to make it work but I can now arm and soon FLY! I may have to change something in the NAZA MC once I get...

I have tried all four arm methods over and over and over! Yes I always turn on my transmitter first, I'm old school where that use to be really important and as far as I'm concerned still is. I have powered down and back up a thousand times over the past three weeks after any and all...

A little more information I found. This guy wrote: "This is a specific and detailed fix for non-arming problem using Turnigy 9XR and Naza M lite. I'm using a Turnigy 9XR TX / NAZA M lite and was having the same problem: motors would not arm. (MC not arming ESC). The ESC/motors were...

Hey Tahoe Tim, and everyone else that have helped, I'm back! I've made great progress since the last time I posted. I have followed the Taranis programming instructions you provided to the letter, thank you very much! I have calibrated the sticks and sliders on both the Tx and Assistant. I've...

I reset my NAZA-M Lite and reinstalled the firmware. Nothing changed, damn! I really thought you were onto something there. Thanks just the same.

I wrote to the company I got my NAZA-M Lite from to see about an exchange. They wrote back: "Dear Ken, Our engineer just contact me that there is some problem with the set of your remote control, One of our customer use the same version remote control and it happens the same problem as yours...
