    Motor Failure Tolerance?

    Can anyone provide any info on which A2 multi-rotor configurations will tolerate a motor failure? By "tolerate" I mean that a motor can fail and the rig will remain airborne and will remain controllable. I know that DJI began supporting motor failures with the WKM on X6 ships in course lock...

    3s Genesis Power 55c 6000mah

    This LIPO sells for $70 new. I used this battery for about 6 weeks (maybe 25 flights) last summer before switching to 4s batteries. It’s been in storage ever since and needs a nice new home. The only thing that is slightly different is that I have shortened the main discharge lead to...

    3rd Party ESC’s

    Gentlemen, I need to set up some Turnigy Plush 30 amp ESC’s for use with my WKM. I noticed on page 9 of the manual that the midpoint needs to be set at 1520us (milliseconds I think). How can I set this or verify that this value is set correctly? And what’s up with cutting the red wire? I...

    Gimbal Issue

    Has anyone encountered issues getting the gimbal to function with the WKM? I have a F550 with a photohigher CX-113 camera mount installed. When I power up the F550, about 50% of the time, the gimbal (roll or pitch) is does not come “alive”. I have also had instances where the roll servo come...

    Is there a way to test a suspected dead GPS\Compass?

    Hi Guys, How much abuse can the GPS/Compass sensor take and still function? Last week I had a NASCAR style crash from about 80 feet up caused by an unintended shift into crash (manual) mode. A mistake I will not make again. I had the GoPro hard mounted to top plate at the time. The 550...
