Ok... I get it now.... jebeezus, I looked at that forever thinking wtf. Crazy but good design and keeps it's more compact.

I just don't get how this gimbal has stand offs which connected directly phantom from bottom plate. It's like what do the rubber mounts do? Am I missing something here? I'm going ahead and putting it together with the adapter plate but.... weird. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-50bAdwtGJ0

I wrote a process on page 5 of this thread for basic startup. I've had mine for months now and I'm still lost as far as programming goes but make sure you also setup your failsafe properly as also mentioned in this thread or you'll be sorry. I'm still grounded from that crash and that was 2...

****.....where was that idea when I was hunting down large drill bits? :) Duh.... Oh well mine needs more air vents.

I got mine a few weeks ago and couldn't find away to disconnect the antenna's so I drilled a hole and mounted them at right angles as suggested .

I'm not sure I understand your problem since there are so many. You do realize that you have to rebind the receiver when you change models? I'm sure trint's works just fine. I could send you my bin file later if you want. Although my sound files are not politically correct nor safe for work or...

Very Important note: You must setup fail safe correctly or you will crash if you loose contact with Rx. This took me what seemed forever to figure out but here's the background. Firstly, if you go into Naza assistant and turn off your radio, you will see it go to Fail Safe BUT, you will also get...

No I'm for sure I'm gps mode and finally got one little detail that after you bind with Taranis, your suppose to hit the f/s button once quickly on the x8r receiver to setup failsafe. it's also the button you bind with. I thought for sure that was the problem today. My model that I'm using has...

I checked F/S mode with Naza assistant. It clearly went into to fail safe when powering off radio while watching my screen view. So today I tested it in a fluffy field. Flew it 50 yards away at 6' high and turned off radio......... immediate dump into field. Not even a hover and think about it...

Crappy! I keep thinking these things are loosing communication somehow with the radio and yours went it to fail safe which may have been set to land instead of return to home. Really sorry for you. I had my problems a few days ago but only lost the gimbal and a gopro3. I'd probably get some...

Interesting..... but I didn't loose fpv signal and felt like I was in a washing machine while looking in goggles. But once I heard it hit the ground, I took the goggles off and ran out into the street to get it. All the motors still run and I took a visit to uavdirect which happens to be just...

One thing that was kinda unnerving is that if you put the Tx too close to the Rx ~ within a foot, she will start barking telemetry lost, telemetry found over and over. The Rx LED will change color fro green to red as well each time so it's very real that it lost communication when she says so...

So I’ve had the Phantom for 3 months now and have flown it a couple hundred times. I had one incident where it lost connectivity to the stock radio twice in one day and I did report that here. That was uneventful as it properly went into failsafe mode. But it was very close to me at the time and...

Here's my startup and install process. Let me know if I've lefty anything out. I could include pics if needed. Taranis Radio Startup procedure - Turn on radio and press & hold menu button for a long time. Then go to page 7 and do radio calibration screen. Important to remember that all of...

Thanks! Actually everything beeps and I believe since it's trying to find a sound file that isn't there so it just beeps. Thanks again!
