Anyone know why 3DR got rid of the 880 motor option? They are only offering the 850 as a motor option with their kits and ARF's. Also, what kind of flight times are you getting with the recommeded batteries?
Thanks in advance.

Yurik,
What is the significance of the "Lock pitch and roll values" box? Mine used to be checked, but now it isn't. I don't remember unchecking it, but may have.
I should point out I found a pretty simple solution to my problem. I went back to basics and went through the setup wizard. It seems I missed the step calibrating the ESCs. I did that and it has flown perfectly since.
I sure would like to see a picture of your setup with the Sony Nex and the juiced motors. I am think of doing the same thing.

I've got a Y6 with 880s and it is overpowered as far as I can tell. (It's my first multicoptor so I'm no expert). I crashed on the first several flights I did because it just climbed. I had to cut the power to almost zero to stop it climbing.
I posted about that here

Since then I've flown once with about 300g of weight added, and I could climb and descend but it was very shaky when it was hovering or descending and sounded like the motors were being feathered (by that I mean it sounds like they were quickly being powered up and down to reduce the total output). When I increased power it sounded consistent and flew stably.
The power would probably be appropriate if I was carrying a 300-500g payload which is the goal once I can fly it.
