It was great, very controllable…"

"Thanks Leonard, so grateful you found the time to reply so quickly - I will try today and feedback. For those looking for an explanation of these params if found a conversation with Leonard here:…"
"One of the first things I checked, though since you mentioned this I have just adjusted the end points to their max so that I can get an uplift in precision..."
"I second that, using 40a esc, 8" graupners, ntm 2300kv motors on 4s and impossible to control, (I fly a mini h and a 650), possibly need a curve to set base flight style, or change a param but no idea which one! I have throttle mid set pretty low…"

"So I built a quad based on your parts list Leonard, however the throttle is not controllable, a tiny movement above hovering sends it skywards at a pace, dropping the throttle to accommodate means it falls to the floor.

"Simple mode is selected from where you set up the modes. If you use mission planner, got to firmware>APM setup> you can see a modes tab that allows you to select which switcc position activates which modes. most modes can have simple mode so its…"
Just want to throw this one in there for thought, would it be possible to add an option to trigger the relay when a waypoint is reached and the copter is flying level?In other words, i would like to trigger my camera to take a snapshot when it hits…
"Yes, I don't know if you'll agree but i am just grateful for it to work properly.
No need to overcomplicate, on when armed, flashing faster when batt lower.
I use the lights for getting orientation and to allow for some dusk flying but agree…"
