    Learned something about gains Yesterday!

    Don't give up yet!! I haven't flown a hexa with the Naza, but try changing your Z-Axis setting first. Go into the Assistant, Configuration and Mounting. You'll find the X, Y and Z axis settings there for the IMU and the GPS. IIRC, the IMU was the one I changed but if it doesn't work, try...

    Learned something about gains Yesterday!

    Another thing to try is to experiment with your height above/below CG setting (the Z Axis). I took great pains to precisely measure my vertical CG and set the Naza up accordingly, but as I zeroed in on the gains I would get a SERIOUS case of the wobbles. On a frustrated whim I tried changing...

    Any DJI Ground Station experts?

    Hi guys!! I'm kind of new to this thread, but here's where I'm at: I purchased a WKM with GCS about 18 months ago and just had not the time to build the machine I bought it for until now. I HAVE built a new groundstation with a Win 7 laptop in order to use Google Earth etc as this system...

    3S vs 4S

    Yes, it will in theory, but it also weighs more, so be sure to take that into account. It has more energy than a 3s pack. It will make your props turn faster, which also increases the amount of watts used. Watts = Amps x Volts, so a 3s pack is capable of 55.5 watts and a 4s pack is capable...

    Static Thrust Test - Am I pushing too much??

    I don't think you're necessarily doing it the wrong way. It would be nice if the frame could take that kind of stress, and I think it should. But apparently the reality is that in the name of weight savings, they have designed the mounts only to a certain strength. One could argue that the...

    I just saw this and I'm still laughing...

    No joke. I'm surprised he ends up with any decent video at all.

    3S vs 4S - I can't see a difference?

    Totality - if you want to understand the difference in 3s vs 4s etc, go check out some charts such as the ones published for Cobra motors at www.innov8tivedesigns.com Here is a link to an example chart: http://innov8tivedesigns.com/Cobra/Cobra_2814-20_Specs.htm You will see how 4s can help...

    Kloners Disco, lets try this again

    Looks great! What is that green stuff you used under and around your GoPro? I have been toying with the idea of taking my GoPro out of it's case, but I crash enough that it makes me nervous :tennis:

    Wow, great flying and beautiful videos on the river there, kloner! Good recovery at the end too, glad you didn't lose it. Nice work! John

    Frequency for best range of RC system

    +1 on the FrSky equipment. I use them on JR radios for my quads, as they provide more than enough range and are frequency-agile (80 Hz I believe). I also put them in my electric park flyers and use the telemetry for not only RSSI but to monitor the airborne voltage as well. You have to get...

    Battery size for Rx base station?

    I found myself needing all my lipos to fly with one day, and so I wanted to give up having to use them. I use a 19" Vizio TV and 2 Vrx's with diversity for now, so I wanted more amps anyway. I started looking at motorcycle batteries but they are really expensive, so I poked around and found...

    Which antenna for which device?

    Interesting. I thought I saw that you had had good luck on 1.3 with the Naza. Maybe that was without the GPS? In any case, do you think a taller GPS mast would help? Their stock 3" "mast" doesn't seem like it gives much separation at all. I was thinking 6, 9 or even 12" high on a wood dowel...

    Which antenna for which device?

    Seattle and kloner - mind if I chime in with an antenna-location question? It's actually a package of questions I guess, since nothing here is simple, lol.... anyway, basically I am upgrading one of my quads to a Naza GPS, and I am uncertain as to how far the GPS antenna needs to be from the...
