    New FC40 / Walkera Gimbal

    Exactly. Each time, when you power up the unit it "initializes" it's home or center position, so if there's no camera, that will never work right.It's trying to center itself. Upon every power-up cycle, you should see the lights flashing red and then go to green when it finds its home/center...

    Pitch lever install

    Carl, while I have mine working fairly well with that crappy lever, (installed using my own ideas) I ordered a dial adjuster that mounts on the top of the transmitter...

    LED Headlight

    It's just stuck on the battery door, and the power connector goes to the balance lead on the battery. Uses very little battery juice....

    Pitch lever install

    I was at work and when I got home, I decided I'd humor the readers of this topic to show just how useless those "instructions" are. Look at the attached photos- I went ahead and did as shown on the other untrimmed side just to show that it cannot possibly work if you install as per those...

    Pitch lever install

    Well, one thing you have to do is make sure the shaft does not turn as you tighten that screw, and that you snug that screw down firmly but not so hard to crack or distort the lever. Did you get the carbon-fiber lever or the aluminum version?

    Pitch lever install

    I had to tweak mine and now it's ok, but I ordered a dial with a knob and am going to remove the handle. I will post up when I have time to do the surgery on my transmitter... Make sure you have properly seated the shaft into the dial, and also make sure you haven't set the shaft in place with...

    Camera Tilt Angle

    That depends on what you plan on shooting. Many of us have added a gimbal to enable tilting in flight. There's no "best angle" per se, it depends what your subject is with regard to the photos or video you want to take...

    17th flight, 1st crash

    Same here, I have a large size battery storage sack from Venom and I always keep all the batteries in it when not using the Phantom or while charging. I also keep the little lipo batteries from my Husban copter in there as well.

    17th flight, 1st crash

    The first day I had my Phantom out for test flights, the battery door popped open and I was lucky the aircraft was not very high up, and I was able to find the battery, and only lost two props. I have since installed prop guards and dual outboard batteries. Some sort of secondary system to...
