    Not creating enough lift, software problem?

    In the assistant software there will be a box to check, actually there is a mode 1 box and a mode 2 box. You want mode 2. If you're in mode 1, The right stick will have the functions that your left stick should have. Try to lift off by pushing your right stick up, if it does, you're in mode 1.

    URGENT: Tighten your props with wrench

    "is if you have an integral gain term, it is too high. If not, then of course the guess goes to the proportional term." That's just what I was thinking! :)

    Noobie atti question

    OK, probably a dumb question, but I'm wondering what happens if I'm flying in atti and get a low battery. Does RTH activate and function in atti? My guess is that it does not, but I'm not sure. Thanks!

    Home lock/course lock question

    I'm getting more confused here. Raining so I can't test anything today, but the other day, here is the sequence of events that made me ask the first question on this post: Before I started the motors, I sat the quad down facing East, with S2 in courselock, started the motors. Flew out to the...

    Home lock/course lock question

    Any idea of what would happen if I switch both S1 and S2 all the way down at the same time? Failsafe or homelock or?

    Home lock/course lock question

    Thanks, I thought that making that sharp lefty was exactly what it was supposed to do. I do NOT want my phantom going whacko!! (me being a bit whacko is bad enough)

    Home lock/course lock question

    A few days ago I enabled Naza and have been practicing with the newly enabled functions. Failsafe, atti, homelock and courselock. They all seem to work as advertised except that I understood that if the drone is returning to me in homelock, at a certain distance away (30 ft?), it would...

    Thinking of buying a DJI Phantom 2 Vision Plus

    I did use an iphone 3GS for a while, and the lag time is really bad. You turn the drone, and sometime quite a bit later the image on the iphone shows the new area that you've turned towards. Not good.

    Enabled NAZA, now can't move camera

    Just now turned everyting on to give it another shot, and found that the slider things on the screen now tilt the camera up and down perfectly. The roller, or dial, on the Tx will tilt the camera down, but struggles and fails to bring it back up. I think the problem is that my gain setting...

    Enabled NAZA, now can't move camera

    Nope, wish that had been it. Won't be able to work with it today, well, maybe late today. Pretty sure it'll wind up being some mistake I'm making in using the assistant stuff.
