About Me:

I am flying for about 45 years. Models, Hanggliders, Sailplanes und Motorplanes. Due to my age of 64 I reduced it to models now.


Please tell us a bit about your UAV interest

I started with multirotors in 2008 and have some experience with commercial filming from a multirotor. Also I like to build gimbals and have a little experience in building and using a cnc mill which I use to produce my parts.

"Hello Randy,
is the version 3.3 still without mkblctrl? If so will the mkblctrl be discontinued?
As I am using these ESCs I cannot upgrade.

Regards

Derek"

"Hi Randy,
I have been flying mkblctrl quite happily on a hexa with pixhawk and 3.2. Now I have upgraded to 3.3 and the motors dont start anymore. I think a lot of people at least here in Germany have mkblctrl escs.

Its sad that I have to downgrade…"
