At 200 ft up it is hard to see. At 400 i couldn't see or hear.. damn...

ZMR 250 Maiden flight tomorrow, will post video as soon as I can. Gonna take it easy for it's first flight.

I need to figure out how to do that. At 4K res. it's about a gig a minute. When you floor it going up it's like a rocket ship..

 

[TexasBrandon]

Yeah, I have nothing that records at 4k for any of my quads so that isn't a big deal. Even when I record other stuff n my Mac I scale it down. I got 10 Mbps down 1 Mbps Up here in Salado.

 

[Sugar Land]

I'm gonna back it down to 1080p 60 and see if that helps.

 

[Younggun]

Still waiting for pics.

 

[Glockster69]

Pics? Search the web, Chuck's got SQUAT!

 

[Sugar Land]

Have not figured out the video yet.

 

[Sugar Land]

How do you upload full res pics? Had to shrink it so much it looks like spilt ****.

 

[Sugar Land]

As you can see I can't handle stills either..lol

 

[Younggun]

Looks pretty good from my phone.

Stop trying to make me feel bad about the CGO!

Having issues binding my ZMR, not sure why it isn't binding....

EDIT:

Looks like they already blinded it based off of the transmitter. I can see the RX/TX. Just don't get any input when I give it throttle.... These more advanced transmitter confuse me with the 800 buttons on them. My Glimpse was easy.

Can you hook it up to your computer and see what's going on? Take the props off first.

 

[Younggun]

Throttle cut?

What Tx are you using?

 

[matefrio]

It's bound but are you "arming" it?

 

[Younggun]

Good point.

Both my quads require pushing both sticks all the way down and "in" to arm and get the motors turning.

The micro does not.

 

[TexasBrandon]

It's a fly sky si-6. I got the pdf manual but they didn't give me access to view it so I'm figuring this out as I go. Completely new to the more advanced controllers. Was like "so uh...yeah"

 

[TexasBrandon]

Thanks Matefrio and YG, I'm a dumbass. Arming it with the sticks down towards each other fixed it. This thing hauls farking ass. I had to set it down quick towards the end after a quick slow speed test flight. I still need to calibrate the trim a bit more but it's stable. It's definitely the corvette of quads, such smooth and fluent movement. Video to follow soon. I had my wife take the video since I don't have the goggles yet.

With these new 4copters you don't calibrate the trim with the radio. It's done onboard the flight controller.

What make\model of quad did you get again?

 

[TexasBrandon]

It's a ZMR 250.

What's the point of the trim on the radio then? I was just trying to make some minor adjustments since it wanted to drift right.
