You know the "super easy to fly DJI type AP drones" that everyone says it is their fault that RID is coming down? I bought one. It isn't a DJI, but it has a DJI flight controller, so it will fly like a DJI I will use analog FPV with it, and probably use my iflight camera in 4k on it (damn, I didn't need all those extra batteries for it, or maybe i did if I put it on the 7 incher or the 5 inch, who knows). The main reason I never got a real DJI or autel was the price and the fact I don't have HD goggles. But now, I don't need them, I can use the equipment I have, and then slap whatever camera I want on. Set me back $200 but customizable and looks pretty sweet. Heck, the FC is $160 new, and it works. I was about not to buy it as the FC didn't take ELRS, then I thought, wait a minute, I have a radiomaster, and that links with everything. Now that I have the Mobula wing finished up, I am getting this going. Not too hard of a project, I just need to wire up the VTX and I should be good! www.rcgroups.com/forums/showthread.php?4323695-Capture-Breathtaking-Aerial-Footage-with-the-QAV-500-Drone-with-NAZA-2-Frsky-X8r |

Yes I like the DJI Naza flight controllers I have two in my old DJI drones I brought back to life from the recycling Depot.I like how they are programmable via USB by your PC.

Wow that is big your talking something the size of my phantoms that weigh close to 3 lbs. The one big thing is the bigger they are the less likely the wind will bother them unless its blowing a gale. you know I like both quads and planes they both have their own charms planes are just down right fun to fly but quads are fun in there own right its like having two girl friends with different personalities . Quads will never replace going out to a field somewhere and buzzing around but sometimes you don't want to venture so far from home and just want to pop something in the air and quads don't have the space restraints.

Quad planes are where it is at. Apparently these aren't as easy to fly as I thought, I crashed it, but it was being weird. Isn't it supposed to hover in place until acted upon? I had completely lost control of it within about 10 seconds. When I yawed it, it banked the opposite way. All I did was break props, will try again with new ones. I would say this easily weighs 3-4lbs. It would seriously injure someone if it hit them. |

Have you had it connected to a computer to see if its setup correctly. I had to setup my phantom from the dump to make sure all the inputs were working right. You can also make sure your in the correct flight mode and yes it should hover in place when it is GPS ATTI mode. Are you sure you weren't in Manual mode how many GPS Sats did you have showing I think 5 is the minimum for GPS mode. Does it have an LED that blinks to indicate you have a good GPS lock. My phantom 1 has an LED that is red when its not ready blinks green acquiring GPS sats and goes solid green when the bird is ready to fly. I had to set the modes switching to a pot rather then a switch because it wouldn't settle in the correct position to stay in GPS mode I set it up on my computer and marked the dial on my transmitter.
Your right when you get into larger drones the weight gets up into the dangerous area something dropping out of the sky weighing 4.5 lbs. could easily hurt someone or do some property damage.

Your right when you get into larger drones the weight gets up into the dangerous area something dropping out of the sky weighing 4.5 lbs. could easily hurt someone or do some property damage. I've about figured out it has to be something in the set up. I just figured the guy before me had it set up to fly fine, so I half-ass read the manual figuring it was good to go. I was in ATTI with 10 sats. It would hover in place to start, but it would never stop. I was also going fast and flying it like a FPV racer drone, maybe I should have done that. Once I finally did get it slowed down, I would yaw it, but then it would bank the opposite direction. I always felt like I was fighting it, but I didn't have access to the football field I always fly in so I was flying to the outside of it. The controls felt like they were made out of mush. I never could get it to change flight modes either. However you slice it, damage was minimal, I think the battery is fine, and I just broke the FPV camera mount. I'll get it back in the air eventually. |
