Re: Suppo OSD Quote:
I mostly use Nanotechs and ZippyCompacts. They will have discharge voltage to work with your system But there are some tricky high end lipos out that which could cause real trouble using a voltage program like you describe. The TBS batteries are known to hold high voltage for most of their discharge, then they fall precipitously just near the end. That would make it difficult to do a long range flight, since you woulnd't really know when you were at your remaining capacity for safe return. |

Re: Suppo OSD I find current sensing is over rated. Voltage is all you really need, IMHO. Rule 1) always fly upwind. The only exception is when you just take off and you know you are good for X minutes of flying, I will fly downwind for 1/3 of X minutes and the remainder 2/3 I will fly upwind. Rule 2) LAND is 3.5V/Cell. on a 4S pack am ON THE GROUND at 14V Rule 3) Provided you obey rule1 and 2, "turn-back" Voltage is 3.75V/Cell or 15V on a 4S pack. I find I can always make it back safely at this voltage. If I get back and have juice to spare, the option is either land if I dont feel like flying anymore, or loiter until I get to 3.5V/Cell Following the above "rules", I have never had a problem with being safely on the ground with juice to spare. |

Re: Suppo OSD it was only cuttin gout on the DVR recording. It was visible 100% of the time on goggles, tv, lcd I use voltage as my main way of keeping track of how much juice I have left. I get to know the lipos I have. But other lipos behave differently, so it is of course better to have amps measured So this Suppo - it is like the cheapo OSD from Hobbyking. Not to be relied upon for long range, or maybe even medium range, nor expensive aircraft |

Re: Suppo OSD Not bad, what was the problem wit it no being on at first did you ever found out? Is it reliable enough? I need to get my teksumo ready for fpv bad or another plane but I need one  How do you measure how much you got left on your battery if all you see is voltage, I mean how do I know that it's time to come back that is the only thing |

Re: Suppo OSD I have used Suppo OSd for a couple years now. all of my early Skusurfer videos show it. It works pretty good, actually. No amps monitor, but that's OK. A decent F15 style osd. The GPS is low end and a bit slow, but works fine for me. I put it in my glider but not flying it much lately. Great deal for the $60 I paid. One downside: on my FPVJapan DVR, the OSD cuts out intermittently. It does not cut out at all on my goggles or TV screen. So on the recording it is like on for a minute, then disappears for a minute, then comes back. YMMV can see my Suppo in action here starting at about 2:50 : http://vimeo.com/42879197 |

Re: Suppo OSD well it seams it does, here: http://www.suppomodel.com/ V3 comes with 10Ghz GPS looks like anyways |
