    Flight times went from fantastic to terrible

    Hi, well this is what happened......... The two batteries have different weight, so the 8:30 mins is an average, and that would be around 17-18 mins with both, as the first test showed. I can't explain it further than this........

    Flight times went from fantastic to terrible

    Hi again, I can see you have problems believing me, but it is true. Again, it was only hovering, in windy conditions though. F550 with motors/propellers (composit)/Naza V2 w/GPS/alu simple landing gear, no gimbal or camera. These batteries are quite heavy themselves, so the weight was as...

    Flight times went from fantastic to terrible

Used two batteries in parallell ;Haiyin 4000/35c, and MaxPower 4200/35c --Hovering (in quiet heavy wind conditions, made the drone work) I got a time of 18minutes effective. Back home, the 4000 was down to 11,22v and 4200...

    Flight times went from fantastic to terrible

    Hi, I used your settings, and tested to day. Used to batteries in parallell; 1Haiyin 4000/35c, and 1 MaxPower 4200/35c - mostly hovering, but in quite heavy winds, so the drone had to "work" all time. Got a hover time of 18 minutes.... Safe flying

    Throttle going bananas

    Hi, I've got three of each type, if one or more had been for opposite rotation, I think the drone just would have flipped. And I'm 110% sure all was mounted correctly :-) I have a neighbour who is a technician for the RC-pilots who flies scala-models in championships, and he will now check the...

    Throttle going bananas

    " fangsCPO, you were exactly right about the props :) . During Easter I got a complete setup both for TX and Naza-controller, and went out testing. With stock propellers (plastic 1038) it was flying smoothly and fully controlable. Changed to carbon 1045, same conditions, same field, and it...

    Throttle going bananas

    "i wish I could remember but I recall someone saying that after putting on Carbon Fiber props, they could never get their bird to fly right. As soon as they went back to stock props, all was well. Due to that, I've never installed carbon fiber props on my F550 but I did on my Phantom and it was...

    Throttle going bananas

    Hi all, stick calibration done several times, and this was not first flight. Before I got this setup I was able to hover, with full control.... first time this happened, I used 1038 plastic propellers..... I asked for the setup to enable a full function FM switch on this particular radio. In...

    Throttle going bananas

    On my F550 I've got the NAZA V2 w/GPS, and DEVO7 tx/rx. Got the setup for the radio from dealer (to setup FM switch and other correctly), F550 using original motors/ESC and 1045 carbon propellers. Checking/calibrating through NAZA software, everything seems to be normal and ok to go. Out on the...
