DJI NAZA FAILSAFE noob

[Gav]

woo hoo  got over the nerves to try out the RTH and Land

DJI Naza failsafe return to home and land

[Gaza07]

Nice one Gav 

[sausageroll]

the ARTH on the naza is great, you got no worries at all. I use it quite a bit just for routine landings, i like watching it fly itself, i recon between my two, ive landed with RTH more times than manual landing.

mine lands itself smoother than I bloody fly...gah!

First time on failsafe sure does take your pucker factor up,,

nice video.

I have been out this morning and played with the trims a little and got it stable  ::) and then the battery died

Need to put my GPS on later.

Shopping list for next week is another battery or 2

[Balders]

Batteries are so cheap these days, it makes sense to have a few. I think I have 8 x 2200mah's and a 3000 3S for when I want to stay up longer (ie filming something).

Christmas has come early. My GPS is here along with four 3000mah gens ace batteries. :now to get this thing fitted and setup

[shyfx003]

Santa need's to stop by my place..i got a list that i'm still waiting for!!!

[Gav]

lol I got a couple of 4000mAh NanoTechs on the slow boat heading my way.  Should stay aloft for some time with those suckers onboard. 

cheers all

I'm now ready to try my return to home. Is there anyway of testing out this feature with the blades off or is it a case of get it in the air flick the switch and hope? 

[sausageroll]

You got nothing to worry about, just make sure you turn the thing on with it sitting on the ground in home position.

Fly it away and flick the switch and watch with horror.

Do i have to be in gps mode when i flick my switch to failsafe or can i been in alti or manual?

[Gav]

lol well apparently you can abort  or reset failsafe rth and regain control by switching off your rth activation switch and then toggling between alt and gps flight mode.  I've yet to try this.  Have you got a long piece of string ? :)

[usnooz]

Maybe hook up the fishing rod so i can reel it back in 

[Gav]

thats not a bad idea but it would look a bit weird.  make sure to get someone to video it.

[sausageroll]

No offence intended, but personally, I think using a fishing rod to reel the quad back in is a stupid idea 

[Gaza07]

Why have you tried it Pete 

[usnooz]

There was a slight floor in my plan....

I dont own a fishing rod
