    I wish I had known.... F550 purchase, build and first flights..

    Anyone ever have issues with not being able to arm? Seems like once I go into the software to make a change, this messes with the esc and arming. I need to keep going back and writing to the esc over and over again till it seems to take, then just hope I never need to change anything again. :(...

    I wish I had known.... F550 purchase, build and first flights..

    Everything appears to be good to go, but I will review the video in the morning and see what the results are. My last few attempts this afternoon were a bit of a disaster. As soon as I lifted off the hex took a sharp right flight path and would not recover properly unless I used allot of...

    I wish I had known.... F550 purchase, build and first flights..

    Well as far as configuration goes, a setup file for the DX8 would be awesome :) And with the moving, it is more of a wondering issue that at times gets away from me. Gaining altitude is not too much of an issue, nor is holding it within a few feet. After it dropped from about 10' this...

    I wish I had known.... F550 purchase, build and first flights..

    Has anyone come up with a configuration for a DX8 and AR8000 that works? Nothing I have tried will permit me to just hold in position. This morning the silly thing just dropped from the sky and I broke my landing gear. Lucky I have a roll of Duct Tape near by :)

    NAZA and AR8000

    Well once I explained that I needed to buy a couple more batteries and now need another board for the Thunderpower lipos she just about hit the roof :) Guess I should not have mentioned that a single lipo cost more than the new battery I just bought for my Jeep! Once I am feeling a little...

    NAZA and AR8000

    After a good nights sleep (kinda) I was able to spin up and attempt lift off. Needless to say I still need to fine tune things due to the tip/wondering issues I have now :) But at least we have contact Houston. I was about to be shot by the other half once she found out what I spent on this...

    NAZA and AR8000

    Thanks for the reply. I was starting to wonder if I had something connected wrong since I am not able to get either the motors or servos on the gimble to move. As soon as I connect the battery my gimble pivots straight down and twitches on either axis.

    xx = BND/DATA empty T = THRO A = ALE E = ELVE R = RUDD U = GEAR X1 = AUX1 X2 = AUX2 xx = AUX3 empty Is the correct with the NAZA output into a AR8000?

    Gaui Gaui 500x FPV/ODS Set-up

    It is a S500 landing gear camera gimbal mount combo. 2 axis tilt, no pan. I just leave the pivot lose so it floats when the quad shifts position. Seems to work well, but adding the power servos would be a bonus.

    Gaui Gaui 500x FPV/ODS Set-up

    Thanks for the ideas. Never thought of going that route. I guess I failed to see the bigger picture, and focused on what was directly in front of me. Adding to the frame would increase the surface area greatly, and would also ensure proper balance could be maintained. Much appreciated. :)

    Gaui Gaui 500x FPV/ODS Set-up

    Gaui 500x FPV/OSD Set-up Hi Looking for ideas to secure these bits to the frame to keep everything balanced. Anyone have a similar setup that wouldn't mind offering a few images to show where and how you went about it. I suppose I could strap most of it to the arms, but I also like to keep...
