I just got the aeroxcraft landing gear for the F550 in today and I'll be working on it this weekend. I also ordered the VTR125 gimbal and my first impression when I took it out of the box a little while ago was "wow". Great workmanship. Looks like a nice solid gimbal and very well put together...

Hey Folks, Made some changes to the gimbal on my F550 and it added a little weight to the bottom of the multi-rotor down by the landing skids. I know this has changed the COG so I would assume it would change the settings for the IMU in the Wookong-M software. I can get a pretty good idea of...

DWB, Flitelab absolutely hit the nail on the head. First, fly what you have and understand what your limits are and what your comfort level is. Then, figure out what you really want to do with the setup. The first time you put $1,000 + worth of video equipment up on an F550 you'll be happy that...

Build looks great! Couple of questions for you. 1. What's the total weight? 2. what are you using for Lipo's 3. What have you got for a gimbal? I've added new motors and extenstions on my F550 and I'm looking for a better gimbal that what i have now without completely breaking the bank.

Thanks to all that posted on this thread. Great reading and eye opening for someone who is just starting out. Jim C

Low flight over the lake at sunrise. Still tweeking the gimbal so it's a bit tilted but I thought the colors were pretty nice.

Welcome to the forum! You are definitely in trouble. You have the same disorder that many of us do and you've just entered into an area where the technology is changing and improving literally by the day. Have fun with the Dad stuff, it's wonderful and time goes way to fast. My daughter is now...

Thankd for the input, Jess. This has been my first venture into servos and it's been a learning experience to say the least. I picked up a simple X468 XT gimble a few months ago and for the cost and some minor modifications it has worked well for me. One of the links snapped off so instead of...

Thank you Chris and Kloner. I feel like I had my head up my a$$ when I couldn't find the stuff and it looks like i never even took the time to check some of the obvious places. That's why I love this forum.

Perfect, thanks!

I was trying to make some modifications to the gimble on my F550 and was having trouble finding some "not so common" parts. I was looking for some small lightweight plastic gears that I could use to attach to the servo or even something similar to the pully's that i've seen on some of the larger...

You've got good timing Hey Gunny, Welcome. I'm also pretty new to this but I thought I'd let you know that there is a fairly big RC event in Mansfield Mass this weekend. It's probably about two and a half hours away from you. http://nehelicrew.com/ Not sure if you're up for the drive or not...

Ken, In general, what will you be going over in the seminar? Just curious. I'm hoping to stop by sometime on Saturday. Thanks, Jim C

Read and Heed Jim, Read, read and read more and then heed the advice. I wish I had done the research and found this forum before I spent the amount of money that I did. I started out just flying an AR Drone for fun and then quickly got bored. A did a little research and picked up Flamewheel 450...

Jack, You and I both got lucky on our prop failures. One of my props also bit the dust about 30 feet up in the back yard. Luckily, I also hit a tree with a lot of leaves that cushioned the fall. Had to get a ladder and a 10 foot pole with a hook on it to get the hex out of the tree. Learned the...

I built my first quad a few months ago and just moved the DJI Wookong up to a Hex in the last few weeks. If I run into an issue I just log into the forum and there is a 99.9% chance that someone has recently run into the same issue. Still learning how to fly and as of yet, I have not had the...

Upgraded the controller on my DJI F550 last night and didn't seem to run into any issues. I will say that this update seemed to take much longer that ones in the past. Took it out this morning in a local soccer field and it flew fine. Pretty windy and it held it's location in GPS mode pretty...
