    Balancing S800 Props

    I've read a bit of negative stuff. But I have no dramas with mine. It flies well, seems to be reliable. All good. :)

    Balancing S800 Props

    Thanks guys. All balanced, although they looked like thy had already been done. 2 of them needed nothing, the others, only a very minor sanding. Thanks for your help. Steve Q.

    Balancing S800 Props

    Hey Gurus! I want to balance my S800 props. No big deal from what I can tell. I have a magnetic balancer and some 320 sand paper. My question is the removal and replacement of the props. Do I just undo the 2 screws on the top of the prop above the motor to remove them? When I replace them...

    S800 minor crash (hard landing really) on first test flight with Zenmuse

    Oh yeah, I don't do this as a norm! In fact I have only done it a couple of times to test the failsafe. I'm generally on the ground around 21.5v. Don't want to take any unnecessary chances! Steve :)

    S800 minor crash (hard landing really) on first test flight with Zenmuse

    Hey deluge2 and ProPilotWannaBe, thanks! So much to shoot... so little time. :-) hehe I hope to shoot some more next weekend. I have a battery warning at 21.8v which vibrates my radio.

    IOSD Doesn't appear to show correct info on laptop download

    Thanks Vin, It works a treat! I still have conflicting data regarding height. My iOSD definitely said 60m, but the flight logs are different. Even using the barometer. Still your software is great. Thanks again for your hard work. Steve :-)

    S800 minor crash (hard landing really) on first test flight with Zenmuse

    Hey All, Today I replaced the IMU v1 with an IMU v2 and mounted it out of the central hub, on the supplied plate near the battery. I kept my gains at: 170 170 140 150 140 140 ​Took it for a test flight with a great result. The "descent of doom" has disappeared altogether, and in light but...
