Wow... thats quite the list of items that have required replacing. Takes me back to my first hexa build, the main difference being that my research meant i followed the tried and true methods of battery managment. In fact i still have a healthy 10,000mah pack that was in my initial purchase of...

Yuneec Typhoon Hexacoptor, i'm curious to see what the intel real sense is capable of.

Hi guys, Just wanted to see if anyone else has had this issue and what steps they may have taken to rectify this. The first time it happened was over a year ago and it only appeared during this one flight. This had vertical lines and the image had colour issues. (goproemf1.jpg) I used the gopro...

Sorry if I'm late to the information party, but I was just watching some 3d Robotics clips and i noticed a familiar sounding voice, did a double take and sure enough there is DJI's old mate now working for 3dRobotics... So does anyone know what the outcome with the whole lawsuit thing was?

Crappy Weather Sorry the weather has been non stop heavy winds and rain for the past week so as soon as i can get out and fly I will let you know

Whilst I haven't tried out the latest update as yet, will try tomorrow weather dependent. How you described it how it worked for me previously. If the heading is 360 and that is north then that is the orientation the craft stays pointing. Only when altering the heading should it turn. It would...

Hopefully although i suspect the motor was damaged whilst it was spinning like a mad man when up in the tree. Of course there is no way to find out for sure. I've looked over the flight log IOSD file but I'm a complete noob with the data so no idea what I'm looking for that would be out of the...

Sorry just to clarify are you asking if i changed anything just before the crash flight? Not just before, I had installed the 2.4 GHz Bluetooth module but that was about 8-10 flights before the crash. So I would have to assume that didn't cause it. The flight just before the crash was done via...

Well after checking the solar charts as best i knew how, and setting up the battery powered flying bird again, i took to the skies last night beads of sweat running down face and i nervously took off. The good news is she flew straight and true, but as i stand there i just question if i can...

Ok well i guess this is another lesson learnt in this field, have now downloaded a solar flare monitoring app so will keep in mind that in future. On a side note I just plugged the MR into the naza software and initially had my TX switched off. And i noted that my gain settings were off the...

Thanks for your reply Tahoe Ed, um.... was that a serious question??? did I check solar activity? what the "flamewheel" you talking about? forgive my ignorance but I've done a fair bit of research into this hobby/sport/profession and I can't say I've seen anything about solar activity... based...

oops forgot that little bit. Futaba 14sg with the R7008SB receiver....

After reading about all these fly away issues i have been super careful with my MR in fear of similar happening to me. But after almost 6 months of flying it happened. I had just gone through 2 batteries without a glitch, took off in ATTI on my third battery flew out about 80m from T/O and was...

Hi rwskier, cheers for posting you gains, i've been playing around for ages trying to find the sweet spot and after trying the above settings it's now quite stable and not fidgeting. Only thing i have noted was that switching to manual did result in either a climb or decent fairly quickly so in...

Interesting thoughts guys, initially I was after the zenmuse, but after looking around and taking into account the massive the price difference (in aus the zenmuse is close to $800 vs a hobbyking Tarot or similar for $150). You can understand why i'm looking around. I'm tempted to try a Hawkeye...

So what gimbals are people suggesting and what are the ones to steer clear of? Are they all much the same or vastly different in the capabilities? Just thought i'd get a general hit and miss list started.

Has anyone here had any experience with these gimbals by any chance? ----Hawkeye BP-1.---- Would you recommend purchasing one? My local shop is stocking them but there aren't many reviews online as yet. Any thoughts are welcome. This is to be attached to a 550. Cheers S

I was under the impression that if flying with 4s batteries then you are better to use the 8"props.... thanks gt when i get time i'll re-check the balance of the new props

Officially its suggested that you don't use the go-pro WiFi with the phantom. It has been known to cause random fly a ways. Source: DJI website.

Hey everybody, so i'm a bit confused here. I recently swapped out the stock dji 8" props on my 550. With a set of 9" carbon fiber props from bird dog. Despite playing with the gains (of which i still don't quite understand but getting there) the carbon props turned my 550 into a unworldly beast...
