    Magnetic interference - every flight

    Yes, I have the latest installed (1.3.3.25). Firmware did cross my mind last week which led me to re-install again but this time from direct download via sdcard. Tried another flight yesterday and had the 'magnetic interference' issue again.

    Magnetic interference - every flight

    Hi guys - Another thing I've noticed with this unit, I'm constantly re-calibrating with every flight. Why am I doing this? Well I only get the chance to fly each week-end, sometimes in the same park, other times in an area approx 3 km/s further on. Each time I setup the craft ready to fly, my...

    Evo speed limit - standard mode

    Whats the story with 'Standard Mode' and 'speed settings'? Had the unit in the air yesterday and decided to switch to 54km/h from 36km/h (in standard mode) BUT the craft max speed was set at 36km/h, would not go any faster. I then set the unit to the lowest setting, I think it was 18km/h...

    Battery Storage

    That's interesting Quad... I had an 'experience' with the evo last weekend. I have my batteries to self-discharge 6 days after non-use however, being a newbie with this unit it was in the back of my mind but I was thinking I'd 'get in' before the self self discharge started. Got the craft in the...

    Battery Storage

    Hi Quad. Quick question... I understand the 'smart battery' functionality in that the battery will 'self deplete/discharge' according to user-settings. I'd like to understand what your procedure is for storing batteries at the 'not quite fully' charged state. Do you simply unplug the charge...

    Pseudo obstacle detection issue

    No, I didn't have avoidance detection disabled. That did however cross my mind after the event BUT at the time, seeing I had this $1400 device in the air that wasn't responding to any command movements, I panicked and tried as best I could with my current knowledge about the craft and eventually...

    Routine maintenance

    I've now flown my new evo approx 8 times now and got to thinking about regular / routine maintenance for the craft in particular the motors. For example: the quads I've built in the past, I've on occasion inserted a little high quality oil on the motor bearings. What maintenance, if any, needs...

    Pseudo obstacle detection issue

    Yes - thinking about it I guess I was at some point, however after increasing altitude to 45 metres I was able to stick forward in the direction I couldn't at 35.

    Pseudo obstacle detection issue

    So I'm flying my EVO in the scrub. Evo is approx 35 metres AGL I stop, turn on video, then begin to yaw around to capture footage. I finish the capture, stop video, then stick forward to return back to my location when evo suddenly stops. Stick forward again, evo starts then stops - I see the...

    Hello from Philadelphia!

    In my country, Australia, this footage would almost certainly be used against the person in criminal way. Present laws here in the state of Victoria dictate that you must fly no less than 30 metres from people in any situation, NO flying in ANY national park (although you can stand outside a...

    Audible scratching sound - unfolding arms

    Hey guys When I go to unfold the EVO's two front arms, i'm hearing an audible scratching noise emanating from the hinge area inside. Rear arms make no noise and seem fine. After shining a bright light into the hinge area, I see what looks to be plastic shrink netting around the cabling. This...
