    Lost my drone you gotta see what happens

    But you flew for 3+ minutes, it wasn't "as soon as it got up". Anyway, funny thing that "keepin mi smoke and throwing that junk outta here" :D

    Camera Setup

    Not sure what's the goal, but according to my experience only one battery with gimbal+camera. Beyond 1 kg it goes quickly worse. There's no point in just flying it overweighted, unless you want to practise flying overweighted. Two batteries: I guess FPV cam would work. For extending the flight...

    compass calibration

    This sounds interesting. Haven't actually flown after RTH I think, but keeping this in mind for the future. The "procedure" would be turning the switches up, disconnect and reconnect the battery? What else. Btw, I once got into trouble teminating the RTH during the ascend (I hit the switch...

    Camera Setup

    Walkera G-2D + SJ4000. SJ4000 is a good camera, but a better quality Full HD replacement is in the same price category: the Xiaomi Yi. It also has lens distortion correction feature available. It comes without display, which can be bought separately. I wouldn't need it, I don't need the SJ4000...

    9" props

    I ordered a set of 9" props for my P1 some time ago, tried them in January. I'm pretty sure they were 9045. I hesitated long because I couldn't find slotted ones to fit the original motors, but I finally have it a "shot" (took over a month with the delivery) anyway. The set of hub adapter rings...

    I do not know. I have four buttons in a row. The middle ones are dec/left and inc/right. If you cannot find a manual, just try it.

    Press the button "right" to change from overall to cell display and back. Works during the charge or when finished.

    Too low gain and it can get out of control and does not handle gusts. For higher wind gain of 100 is ok, but shakes at high speed.

    At first the sticks felt really aggressive, and the yaw is still hard to control well. Oh, getting less vibration: use roll/pitch gains like 85 for 8045 props, lower for 9". Low gain = much better at hi speed.

    No FPV. Could be some day. It is difficult to position correctly, perspective at distances... Seems like the drone is futher away than it is. I only nailed the bridge this time, but went short on flying below it, the same for crossing the lake. Getting used to the controls also take time.

    Step by step.... out of the box...

    Strange info on battery voltages, no offense, but 3.0 V is the minimum per cell for LiPo (it CAN take it, though considering storage it should be more to minimize oxidation). For reference, Naza-M battery protection level 2 can be lowered down to 9.5V on zero line loss (that means less than 3.2V...

    In the video I had L2 at 9.7V (zero line loss), and I think the lowest cell (alarm voltage) was at 3.4V (the actual voltage). The beeping was a bit late, as when starting to descent the Level 2 hit because of voltage drop on the rough landing (stabilization) and I hit the ice :D

    I get an audible alert when I should get down, before the auto landing kicks in. I want to keep that protection feature enabled, as it also gives the red blinking as a warning. The level 2 just cannot be set really really low, 9.5V is the bottom.

    Well, I'll share this video as it's the latest. It's private, but there's nothing to hide really. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mkODGTatf8w It was my first test with cheap LiPo voltage meter / alarm. Works well (except for the measurement error that varies from cell to cell). It is part of my...

    P1 From Start - To Start!

    What a pity I don't have the original camera mount! P1 has apparently been used by two owners before me. There certainly can be some hidden variables lurking :D Oh yes, solving out the variables. That's been the topic for quite a while now :) There is one big factor: we really don't know what...
