the BEC can just be connected to the rail pins, personally I would put a y-lead on it and supply both the RX and the APM individually, but from the ame source. but thats not needed if you have the connecting bridge.

Hey Hitech

 

Wessie here, from ClownsHobbies.co.za

 

The first thing is to get the skywalker config file.

This will give you a starting point with the PID values. You are correct, probably some of your values are too high.

 

the next thing is to test and tune the Servo PIDs in FBW mode. Once they are tuned right, your plane should fly ok in Stab mode.

 

Re-read the manual. all the things you nedded to do BEFORE your test flight is documented in the wiki. (Hand tests etc) Dont be too eager and skip steps, then you will be fine.

 

Good Luck, let us know how it goes

Wessie

Follow the instructions here. 

 

And please don't post the same question twice in the forums. It just adds noise to the site.
