    HOWTO : Install a Futaba 14SG TX on your Phantom

    Make sure you dont have the dual rate switch on (slow rudder) since that will prevent the axis from going to the full position.

    HOWTO : Install a Futaba 14SG TX on your Phantom

    Correct. Using this config, you must hold the switch. Its more a matter of preference : I prefer to have to hold the switch in case of emergency and avoid hitting it by error... You can change it any way you want.

    Anyone interested in guide to setup Futaba 14SG

    I don't have a 8FG so I could'nt say but it's probably VERY similar. I did not configure gain on my setup. BTW, here is the guide : viewtopic.php?f=4&t=3931

    The new Phantom Transmitter - does not blink/beep?

    The latest version of the Phantom does not beep when turning it on. This is normal. Same for the nuts, this is normal. As for the low voltage battery alert, I have no clues but there is definitely a "beeper" in there. You can hear it if you do the calibration. See ...

    HOWTO : Install a Futaba 14SG TX on your Phantom

    I never tested the 2 antenna RX on the Phantom. Supposedly, it's a lot better than the stock one. If you have the R6208 on hand, just install it and you'll have peace of mind.

    Anyone interested in guide to setup Futaba 14SG

    I'm not sure but I suppose it will be similar to a 8FG. Ok, seems there is interest. I'll probably start on the weekend. It will be multi-part... Installation of the receiver, change of mode, etc. Then after that, configuration of the NAZA Software... then the controller itself. I flew my...

    Vision Props

    I'm looking for the same info. From what I can gather, the vision is using 9x4.5 props (aka 9045). Apparently they're more efficient with more load. I bought a pair of 9045 CF props recently, I'll try them out as soon as I get them.

    Phantom v1 vs v2 flight time & possible hacks.

    Ok, total flight time was about 7minutes from engine start (takeoff was 2sec after that) to low battery warning and landing. I know I was near the end of my battery by looking at the voltage on my FPV so I started a low altitude hover to land immediately on the warning to check the battery...
