    PROJECT Phantom6

    I am indeed listening to IIVII. There is a field not far from here. I'll try it there. However, on top of all the other crap I've dealt with on this build, my laptop took a dump yesterday. New one in the works... DJI Phantom 1.1.1 currently under construction to become a Phantom hex...

    With all the junk stuck on my hex, and the glitchy compass situation, I'm thinking of getting one of those combined GPS compass units, but the DJI one is, per usual, expensive. What are your opinions on this. It'll get the compass away from the battery...

    Finally Flying my DJI phantom 1.1.1

    Waypoint flying is possible, but like IflyinWY says its **** expensive. P1s weren't really designed with that sort of flying in mind. DJI Phantom 1.1.1 currently under construction to become a Phantom hex. Snohomish co. WA

    So the weather was pretty good for test flights today. I did the compass dance, and fired it up. It seem to fly well initially, but if you make a yaw turn (rotate) it seems to destabilize it. I think you can see it in the video. DJI Phantom 1.1.1 currently under construction to become a...

    Finally Flying my DJI phantom 1.1.1

    Hello Droid, I use a Storm deluxe FPV setup. It comes with the transmitter for the video that gets its feed directly from your gopro. No need for two cameras. It also comes with a screen, that is tripod mountable, that you use for your Birdseye view. That all transmits on 5.8. It was a few...

    Hey IflyinWY, can you please demonstrate that dance in a video for us? [emoji6] DJI Phantom 1.1.1 currently under construction to become a Phantom hex. Snohomish co. WA

    When the Phantom was a quad, I had my friend, (the one with the 3D printer) make me some wider, taller legs. Somehow I may have moved the compass to the front left leg. It's been flying funny for quite some time. The RR leg of the hex doesn't allow me to mount the compass parallel to the GPS...

    The only way I can fly it is in atti mode. GPS just drifts one way or another. I don't recall the compass being on the right rear leg, but I'm willing to give it a try. I'll make the change, and test fly as soon as the rain quits again. Thanks for the input. DJI Phantom 1.1.1 currently...

    CNC Gimbal installation on P1.1.1

    I had that gimbal, and it worked alright. It would pitch up if I accelerated too quickly or made small adjustments in a hover. I tried to use the Alexmos bcg software but the gimbal controller is a Chinese copy of an Alexmos board, and not compatible with the software. If you buy one of those...

    Problems with pitch using Tarot 2D Gimbal

    I have one of those t2-d gimbals, and I like it, but I can't use the tarot software because I cand get the gimbal driver to install on my macine. Any suggestions? DJI Phantom 1.1.1 currently under construction to become a Phantom hex. Snohomish co. WA

    Not really, mine drifts in one direction. That's weird, it's like it's possessed. Our power lines are buried here, but I never had a problem when it was a quad. I did the advanced IMU calibration, and will try another test flight tomorrow. Thanks for sharing that video. DJI Phantom 1.1.1...

    PROJECT Phantom6

    So I resurrected some old props from my phantom junk yard and test flew it again. It's still drifts in GPS mode, but it's getting better. I spent some time this afternoon balancing it too. I didn't notice much difference from that. DJI Phantom 1.1.1 currently under construction to become a...
