Hi all. I notice that Hobbyking are selling a nice looking hex frame for about £15. I'm thinking I might get a couple of extra ESCs and motors and make a new hex from my quad. I believe the NAZA lite will be OK with it. Any disadvantages that come to mind?

Hi all. I have a DJI F450 with Naza Lite controller and a Devo 10. It occurred to me last night, just before I flew into a tree, that whilst I'm still learning, it might help to slug the controls a bit, so that I don't get into panic situations. Most of my accidents happen when I'm wildly...

I'm still using the batteries that came with the kit, 3300mAh, 11.1V Lipos. I get 8 minutes flying time with a gimbal and GoPro. Question is, can I use larger batteries to extend flying time or will the extra weight counteract the extra power? Thanks Andrew

Hi all. I finally got my Tarot gimbal working yesterday. Having tried several times to get it working on a bench power supply with absolutely nothing happening, I finally realised that it has to be absolutely still when turning it on, otherwise it won't initialise! I did feel silly. Anyway, I...

Probably a very silly question!!!!!!! Andy

Hi all. I have a DJI 450 with 30A ESCs and 920KV motors, (the standard kit). I was flying near the edge of a loch recently and did a bad landing. It flipped over and dipped one of the motors in the drink! I turned it off immediately and dried it on the airing cupboard overnight. However, when I...

Now I've got my 3 mode switch working, thanks to this forum and some very helpful souls, all I need to do is get Failsafe working, I think probably it should be on the Gear switch. At the moment, the only thing that will activate Failsafe is turning the TX power off. The Gear switch does...

I'm a relative newbie to quadcopters so I've only used my GoPro so far. However, there comes a time when you tire of the fisheye and gaudy colours so as soon as I've got enough courage I'm going to send my Sony RX100 up. It does HD 1080P and has a 20mp sensor. Results on the ground are stunning...

I don't really understand when people talk about GPS or Atti. I obviously know what a GPS is, mine has one sticking up. I've got a DJI 450 with Naza lite and a Devo 10 RC. I only have one switch that does anything (apart from the joysticks). When I flick this switch forwards the VU flashes...

Hi all, just joined, (see my intro in newbies' forum). It seems like there's lots of very knowledgable folk here so I hope you can help. I assembled my new DJI 450 on Friday, from Buzzflyers in the UK (great people to deal with), but unfortunately missed their tech department by 5 minutes on...

Hello all. I've just joined this great forum, bought my first Quad and dying to get started. I'm a design engineer in medical devices, working from home in South West United Kingdom. We've just finished a heatwave here but hopefully there's still lots of summer left. I'm a very keen sailor and...
