Matrice 600 please... BTW, I received my Temporary R-PIC license on Monday! The Orlando FSDO said I was one of the first as I was issued it at 1300, Eastern time.

So, what allows the DJI to hold position better than the other FC's? Is it the use of characterized components, the algorithms, the use of thermally stable MEMS, black magic.etc.? Maybe all of the above. Does anyone know the real difference whom can explain and help those interested in knowing...

Looks like it was an S1000. We've had a few uncommanded fly offs with DJI in GPS mode but they didn't get far because we simply clicked over to manual control. It's a simple procedural item that should always be part of the pretakeoff checklist. It's a responsible mental thing and as pilots of...

Case in point here... http://www.washingtonpost.com/world/national-security/faa-drone-approvals-bedeviled-by-warnings-conflict-internal-e-mails-show/2014/12/21/69d8a07a-86c2-11e4-a702-fa31ff4ae98e_story.html

Old Man, you are exactly correct! But we are not the military or even a public service agency. They are not required to adhere to FAA standards. That's right people, your local police helicopter is not required to adhere to the same regs that we are. Don't get me wrong here as they do generally...

Hello Old Man. I get your point but try rigging out your private aircraft with a full complement of military gear and see if it'll pass an FAA inspection. They are the determining factor here. We do have two pixhawks. Open up the case and you'll still only find average components. The software...

Hey Bart, I do in fact use a slider as well. You give good advice here! My member date is exactly why I ask this question. Hasn't it been long enough? People like Holger and DJI have the combined skill set to bring the hobby grade FC's to a much higher level. They know how to make the...

Ok, so I've been an MK guy for a long time. I absolutely love the constant updates and cool features set. The telemetry is awesome and the Navi log files too. But, the system as a whole is sloppy at holding position and altitude. It's greatly affected by the elements, making for very...

Phantom 2 flies into fireworks burst zone https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a9KZ3jgbbmI Amazing footage but .....

Done! Good luck Bart...and thanks for being proactive. I got the email.

Hello guys, I have a NIB Jakadofsky Pro 5000 for sale. It does not have the kero start. I'm asking $5300, shipped anywhere in the US. Priority shipping extra, based on ship location. The turbine was purchased for my 1/4 scale Bell 407. I've since decided to install a Hacker A100-8 as the Hauer...

Except after the update....:tennis: Hey ovdt, again I have to thank you for helping us keep up to date. So far my issue still exist. How can I post the GPX file? The graphs show so much more to the trained eye than what I can try to decipher here. Yeah, I know it gives my exact location but...

Wow ovdt, thank you for the awesome replies loaded with excellent links and info. Living in FL means dealing with high humidity at times and we have our fair share of dirt to blow around, especially with the SkyJibs takeoff weight. Time to order some supplies and dedicate a weekend to some TLC...

I had issues with this update process. Holger stated that only pins 1,7,and 9 are needed. I made a cable with the modded header pins and tried many times to connect to the BL-Ctrl V3 without success. The ribbon was connected to the x3 port as indicated on the MK-USB. After viewing the info...

OK, I did the BL firmware update. It was difficult because I was initially using the X3 side of the MK USB, the one intended for updating BL-Ctrl. I started a new thread with my issues. The SkyJib uses the normal Okto mixer but I did reload it anyway and transferred the configs. I'll have to...

Copied this from another forum...Thanks OVDT http://www.mikrocontroller.com/files/upload/BL-Ctrl3_MEGA168_V1_02d_SVN799.hex Changelog: 1. Improved motor-start 2. internal speed limitation 3. increased commutating speed (Max RPM is 200.000 devided by the number of magnets -> 16.666 RPM if you...

"GPX info... MK Version: FC HW:2.5 SW:2.06a + NC HW:2.0 SW:2.06a BL:V3" Although my NC is the new 2.1 with remote compass. I'm not at the machine yet but will take another look at the firmware tonight. Also, I followed your link to the other forum and thanks again. Good reading... "We...

BTW, I'm running 4s with 14" CF T-motor props.

Thank you, I will verify my current firmware and update if needed. I'll post the resulting GPX.

First off, thank you for the reply and any advice offered. The mixer settings are all default Okto 1. No changes. Motors spin in the indicated directions. The SkyJib is easy to verify level motors by removing the landing gear, loosen the motor supports, and placing the airframe flat on...
