    STORM Drone 6 GPS Flying Platform

    The gear setting allows the NAZA to enter Manual mode (switch towards you). You should be flying with the FMD switch fully back for GPS. Your motor idle could be too high for a naked craft, and you could try setting your motor idle speed to a lesser value in the NAZA software, but it sounds like...

    A couple things you might try: - an IMU calibration inside the NAZA software - a command sticks calibration in the NAZA software - what is your cutoff set to? Immediate or Intelligent? - NAZA Lite or V2? V2 has a assisted takeoff feature that could be an issue - Maybe an ESC calibration...

    From the DJI website: How to deal with the configuration error? Please calibrate your transmitter sticks and then restart MC. This is done in the Basic Tab under "RC." See if it is still stuck after performing a stick calibration on the NAZA software, and for good measure, with the DEVO 7 TX...

    So you plug in the USB cable, connect the battery to the drone, open the software and then get an error? Screen shot?

    Do you have the red NAZA Lite on the drone or the Orange NAZA v2?

    Ok, let's start at square one. Are you able to open the NAZA Asssistant software? Which version NAZA do you have and what firmware (did you do the lite to v2 trick)? What NAZA assistant program are you running - orange icon or red icon?

    You really need to check the settings inside the NAZA assistant, because even if the switch travel is setup correctly, the flight mode inside the NAZA could be set to something other than Manual. Basically, the "Manual" rectangle at the bottom of the RC tab should be highlighted when the FMD...

    Also, have you ever calibrated the compass before? It's an awkward process with the Storm Drone. You need to adjust the transmitter gear channel travel so that the tri-position switch on the right shoulder of the tx activates the Manual setting in the NAZA flight modes. By default helipal has it...

    Have you calibrated the IMU yet? Do the advanced calibration in the NAZA software. Also, here's the manual with the codes at they end: http://download.dji-innovations.com/downloads/nazam-v2/en/NAZA-M_Quick_Start_Guide_v1.26_en.pdf

    So, this is kinda controversial and definitely an "at your own risk" sort of thing, but I can confirm it works on the NAZA M Lite: http://naza-upgrade.com

    Skids attach underneath the left and right arms. The little grooves on the leg attachments hook onto the edge of the bottom plate and then you drop a screw down through the hole in the bottom plate and screw it into the silver threaded hole on the landing skid assembly. Note that you can only...

    Have (2) Turnigy nano-tech 6000mah 3S 25~50C Lipo Packs for sale. I bought these to use with my Storm Drone 6 hex, but decided to go in a different direction. These have had Deans connectors soldered on and have less than 3 cycles each. Retailing for $48 from HobbyKing, I'll do both shipped...

    STORM Drone 6 GPS Flying Platform

    I've been flying the SD6 quite regularly now, and have been making a bunch of custom upgrades and modifications. I've gone to the DYS 3-axis gimbal with a second receiver so a second operator can control the gimbal, placed brighter LEDs on the ends of the arms, upgraded to a Futaba Tx, and am in...

    Shopping online

    Helipal has been very good in my experience with them, however they are a little higher priced if you're not ordering something substantial. Replacement parts can be found more cheaply from domestic online warehouses & hobby shops. I've liked Hobbyking for bits and pieces. Helipal was great for...
