    FAA Announces Part 107 Re-Testing Criteria

    I agree that too many people nowadays put up with being ripped off almost on a daily basis but......as "many" people have the same opinion regarding your specific business acumen, their contention could possibly be quite valid....just saying.

    NAZA & Futaba for Retractable Landing Gear (RETRAX brand)

    Re: NAZA & Futaba for Retractable Landing Gear (RETRAX brand Those are the ones for $250. WAY overpriced! For much less money, there are equal quality retracts available for your original stock receiver. Please shop around, my friend. $250 is 3 times too much to pay. You can also find ones that...

    Futaba FG8-Which cannel to use for retractable landing gear?

    Hello all. I have the Phantom 2 with Futaba FG8 and the R6208SB receiver. I'm looking to connect a set of RETRAX retractable landing gear. The twin servos connect in a Y cable that attaches to one channel on the receiver. Can't figure out the best channel (considering failsafe having landing...

    Which model Futaba to buy and and where to buy it?

    So if I wanted to install retractable landing gear, I'd have to install the Futaba RGC08SB receiver, swapping out the original P2 receiver? DSLRPros said I did not need to but provided no instructions at all. Hmmmm?

    Re: NAZA & Futaba for Retractable Landing Gear (RETRAX brand UPDATE: You are 100% correct....DSLRPros shipped the Futaba R6208SB Receiver but had not installed it. Go figure. I just installed it and now need to change the MODE and then use any channel but 8 for the RETRAX system. Now I need...

    Anyone dropped the height of the camera?

    I just added this for you: - Just drop it straight down and merely use longer screws and spacers. I used the plastic and metal electrical wiring connectors that you would normally crimp, from radio shack (home depot has them also). Cut the plastic off each end and they work perfectly.Just buy...

    HML 650 Retractable Landing Gear

    Hello N017RW. It sounds like you know how to specifically connect the 3 lead cable for the twin retractable landing gear on a Phantom 2 to the NAZA and perhaps how to program the right switch on a Futaba ? Care to share, please?

    Anyone dropped the height of the camera?

    Yes, I've dropped my Zenmuse/camera down a full inch on my Phantom 2 and it's fantastic. All works fluidly. Lowering your camera to lessen the view of the props at camera horizontal viewing works great. Yes, I did have to purchase longer landing gear and now I have the RETRAX landing gear. Go...

    NAZA & Futaba for Retractable Landing Gear (RETRAX brand)

    Hello everyone. I've recently purchased a fully equipped Phantom 2, including 3D-H3 Zenmuse, IOSD, FPV transmitter and a Hero3. It flies and operates perfectly but I wanted to get the possibility of viewing the left landing gear out of any video, so I've physically installed the RETRAX...
