    DJI F450 tilts backwards on takeoff

    Did you fix the problem? It has to be Naza or Solder joints related because you just had a successful flight prior to the problems.

    DJI Hexacopter vs Quad copter vs 18 mph wind

    Never flew my multi-copters during the wind so I decided to take them up during a very windy day. It appeared that my quad was having problems handling the wind gust and crashed. What's the most wind you have flown with your multi-copters?

    Video of Cartagena Colombia

    I attached two gopros to my Hexa f550 and did some video of Cartagena Colombia. The gopros were attached to a AG550 2 axis gimbal. One facing forward and the 2nd facing down. Sorry...a little Jello due to lack of vibration padding.

    DJI Hexa f550 lost over the Pacific

    I did some more testing today and found that course lock as well as home lock will not work unless I have GPS lock on take off. This is good info to have because now if I take off without GPS lock I will not flight long distance.

    DJI Hexa f550 lost over the Pacific

    Not sure... I believe the GPS was not working. i was in Home Lock and the Hexa took off to China. I turned Home Lock off and could not see the Hexa, However I could see a small dot over the pacific so I just kept pushing the controls in different directions. I actually had given up on the Hexa.
