    XAircraft Solid yellow light when set in GPS mode.

    Hey there FrankTV. Quick question: did you upgrade the superX to the latest firmware (1.07)? I did, and while I didn't experience what you're seeing there is reference to a solid yellow indicator in the 1.07 release notes: 4. The processing to magnetic interference under GPS ATT mode a...

    Drew, Between the time the folks at XAircraft took time to analyze my crash, the growing community support, and your more than generous offer, I have no bad taste what so ever. I'll send you over an email with the list shortly.

    XAircraft x650 Pro - SuperX - Crash - Post Mortem Help Request

    Drew, that is way above and beyond the call of duty. You shouldn't be put out because I made a rookie mistake. Sorry to just be replying to this, somehow I missed the post earlier today.

    XAircraft x650 Pro - SuperX - Crash - Post Mortem Help Request

    Drew, what? 2% is too low? (self deprecating humor attempt). I've redacted the links to blackbox/gps but otherwise here is the PDF I received from XAircraft. One additional bit, apparently when the copter lost lift, it flipped. Neither my wife nor I recalled this happening. I'm certain from...

    XAircraft x650 Pro - SuperX - Crash - Post Mortem Help Request

    Okay, humble pie time: Again, I want to thank Jingchen at XAircraft for his prompt and detailed analysis and providing me an actual "Crash Report" in which he actually overlaid annotation onto the flight controller data. There were basically two anomalies found in his assessment. 1. While...

    XAircraft x650 Pro - SuperX - Crash - Post Mortem Help Request

    iflyNavy, My better half had the exact same concern about the black box information. I'm going to remove the link, as well as the attached document which also has the GPS coordinates. If anyone would like to see them, I'll take it on faith if you willing to ask for the report nicely you'll at...

    Post Crash Regression Testing

    XAircraft x650 Pro - SuperX - Crash - Post Mortem Help Request

    Greetings, Humbling as it is to admit, I had my first, and rather spectacular crash just 1 hour ago, and was hoping that I could enlist some gurus to help me with the post mortem. As I watched it happen there was no obvious cause that I could readily see. Sifting through the wreckage...

    XAircraft x650 Pro - SuperX: Gimbal Question

    Over the past two weeks I've built out a stock x650 pro w/ SuperX, and have been tweaking settings and getting comfortable with flying over this past weekend. Before too long, I couldn't help myself and strapped an old gopro to the frame to film a few of my flights. What became readily evident...

    XAircraft X650 Pro w/ SuperX FC - Low Battery Warning - Newb

    Update on the Meters/Alarms: After further usage, I'm finding that this device was not as accurate as my original assessment may have sounded. I've found the following variations to be true across three battery packs at various states of charge. While the variations are likely fine for a novice...

    XAircraft X650 Pro w/ SuperX FC - Low Battery Warning - Newb

    The meters/alarms arrived today, 3 days from CA to VT, not bad. Before cycling my batteries today, I did a quick sanity check of these meters/alarms. The alarm did sound, although it does only have a .1 granularity in setting the voltage alarm. The meters matched the charger in both total...

    Drew, thanks the GPS Mast arrived yesterday, and I've already got everything installed, thanks again! Thank you both for the responses! I've ordered a pair of these. Cheap enough so if they're no good I won't feel bad.

    APC "OEM" Props?

    I'm very new to multirotors, and planning for the inevitable I purchased 4 extra pair of props for my XA x650 Pro from a well-known vendor. The site listed the items as: "Xaircraft x650pro x650 PRO parts oem factory APC" The parts arrived quickly and I was very pleased, the props themselves...

    XAircraft X650 Pro w/ SuperX FC - Low Battery Warning - Newb

    Iflynavy, thanks for for the insightful response! I've been googling and have found several configurable voltage meter/alarms. They seem pretty inexpensive considering the insurance they provide.

    Greetings folks, I'm a proud owner of a brand spanky new X650 Pro. Drew at XAircraftAmerica was incredibly helpful and patient with my newbie questions, and I picked up the X650 Pro/SuperX combo from him. I'm running fully stock with Futaba 8FGS/R6208SB. I have a quick question for the gurus...
