I set my Hex up so that my X1 channel controlled the gains on Attitude gain. It gives me a range from 66% to 266%. I test flew this yesterday and slowly changed the gain from top to bottom, and basically saw no differences at all in behaviour. Do you have to reinitialize between changes ...

Does anyone out there know if the above is possible ? I am flying a 550 hex using a good 3000Mah 14.8v lipo, but only get around 5 minutes max. My reading on the web tells me that is a much better idea to have the ESC set to think they are sensing Nicad rather than Lipo so you do not get these...

Hi I have finally managed to get my recalcitrant Flamewheel 550 into the air, and even setup the GPS in the middle of a pretty windy field this afternoon. So far, great !! My Go Pro video was really wavy, so came home to work on the mount, and then flew it in a calmer area later this...

Sorry, but yet another possibly dumb question, but one that is giving me endless grief right now... I have a set of almost identical (but not quite the same) Hobbywing 40 ESC's feeding 4 identical motors and 2 different but same spec motors ( I know it ain't ideal, but I just wanna get this...

Hi I have been researching all sorts of stuff to try to get my new 550 into the air. One question that seems to be a very grey area, but nevertheless is highlighted as being "important" is the question of whether the red lead on the lead from the Rx to the Naza should be cut/removed at one...

Hi folks I am not a novice with this stuff exactly, but right now I cannot get my motors to spool, using CSC or immediate mode. They just sit there. Assistant shows that I have control over all channels, I have the flight modes and IOC setup and switching just fine, but still - no motors...

I seem to remember reading somewhere that the NAZA opto ESC's do not need the red wire cutting, BUT other ESC's do, such as my new Hobbywing Pentium 40's ? Can anyone say definitely if I should cut them ? Any responses would be very welcome. my Quad is dead right now.

I recently upgraded my assistant etc as above, and had to reset some data on some of the tabs. Previously it was working fine Now I cannot get the motors to spin up no matter how I move both sticks. I have the start speed set to RECOMEND, my manual/attitude/GPS switch is set correctly, as is...

I have just ripped my DJI flamewheel 450 to bits and built all the NAZA gear onto a spare 525 frame I have acquired, as the 450 is a bit tight to fit all the GPS and other FPV gear on. Everything went on just fine, but for some reason the settings used on the 450 for the autopilot do not work...

Can anyone tell me what is the best prop size for a DJI 450 quad (X mode) that is carrying a DJI GPS, 5.8 GHz transmitter (Fat shark), and a gimbal mounted Go Pro without case. I am currently using 10 x 4.5, but do not have much lift. It used to be fine before the GoPro was added. Thanks - Ian

I have a DJI 450 with NAZA gear on board. My problem is that despite a fully charged lip, it will only stay airborne for a very few few minutes. I do not have the voltage check system enabled. I suspect that the ESC's do not know the full throttle setting, and have done the usual (for helis...

I JUST DISCOVERED WHAT CHANNEL TO USE - X1. I HAD THAT IN USE FOR MY GIMBALS AND DIDN'T REALISE THAT I CANNOT HAVE BOTH - SADLY. THANKS ANYWAY FOLKS - GOT IT ALL SETUP ON fMODE AND AUX2 SWITCHES NOW - GREAT STUFF. I have recently bitten the bullet and purchased the NAZA GPS upgrade. I have...

Hi there everybody. Another "newbie" looking for a wee bit of hand holding !. I have recently acquired a S/H X525 with the black KK controller on board. This was flying just fine with the previous owner (of course!), but I am having problems trying to get the motors set up so that they lift...

Hi folks I noticed the other day while flying in both Attitude and manual modes that attitude mode drains the Lipo LOADS FASTER than manual mode does ? I assume this is normal, but is there some magic way I can lengthen time in attitude mode. The reason I ask is that I plan to use my F450 to...

Hi again guys I am a relative newbie at quads, but with your help I did have it flying, and pretty well at that :02.47-tranquillity: All was well, and a couple of days ago I even braved the elements and tried FPV for the first time with the 450 tied down to a big block of MDF so it could not...

OK, I am a newbie to MRC's, but I do understand wiring, radio binding and setup, and all the other things a long standing helicopter pilot would know, but my brand new F450 + NAZA has got me beat right now ? Basically, I have just build the F450 - no problems, done all the wiring as per the...

I am new to quads, although I have a PPL with 1500+ hours and I fly RC helis of all sizes. I have just purchased an F450 with NAZA IMU, but want to get into FPV as rapidly as possible, so I am looking for some S/H kit - TX, Rx, goggles, w.h.y that will work and let me return to a cockpit view...

Hi everyone I am an experienced "real" plane pilot with 1500+ hours logged, and have been flying RC helis for the last 22 years on and off, and quite naturally I know all of the terminology for both of those arenas, BUT......... I am totally new to Quads, and have noticed a huge raft of 3...

Hi Everyone I have been flying ever since I was 17, and learned to fly (real planes) in Tiger Moths back in 1961. I have kept my licence up on and off ever since then, and have done parachute flying, filming flights and all sorts of other stuff. My model flying started some 22 years ago with...
