"Where can I get an accessory bay breakout board? "
"Please assist me with this process. I have a RDF900 and this is one of the things that annoyed me with SOLO is the inability to use the long range telemetry. "
"Well I thought maybe cutting the ground to the speed controller would work, right up to the point I cut it. As the heard the wire snip it dawned on me that I had never checked the voltage with the speed controller connected. So before testing the…"
"I run a BEC I'm it's not a high capacity, but I only run 4 small servo's off it (9 gram) So I figure that should be fine. With the BEC I am still to cut the ground wire off the speed controller? You description of what happened to you sure seems…"
"just cut it? The speed controller wire? Where will the speed controller ground without a ground wire. Also to be clear. The BEC off the speed ground, or the speed signal ground wire?"
I have a generic APM power module. When I measure the power coming out of the module I find it to be 5.1-5.2V. When I measure the voltage across A01 I find it to be 4.7-4.8V. When I look at th3e telemetry data it shows 4.7-4.8v, it varies a bit…

"So I have tested the system live a few times. I have a habit of running a live prop often to see if a modification will work out, only been bit once.
I didn't notice a brown out. As I think about when these flight start going downhill, it's when…"

"That would be great. I was able to fix up the plane and put it up tonight and splashed it again. This aircraft with the foam booms was 100% dependable now it flies well for a while, then I have not idea what it is doing. Last night the problems…"
"Update. To reduce weight so I could add another flight battery I removed the foam booms and used carbon fiber. All was going well. Little over 10 minuets in the air when the autopilot switched to manual, three seconds later this. I am not sure…"
"It draw 800ma at full power. The PM provides a max of 2.5A not sure what the APM, GPS, and RC receiver draw. Seems like with 1/3 taken up by the RDF you could be pushing the limits. If the PM overloads, you loose the APM, RC receiver, and…"
I have an RDF 900 and have been powering the front side of the of my APM 2.5 from a dedicated battery. I have decided to use this weight to increase flight time by adding a power module and for the board and a second battery. From what I can tell…
"AUW is around 3.1 pounds. I think with a few modification I can get it down to 2.6 pounds. Below I have given the power specs. I am looking for a new motor prop combination that will provide better efficiency and maybe a few more watts power for…"
"It has a 60" wingspan and a 48" length. The power plant is a 2200KV 350W motor turning a 6X3.5 prop. The booms limit prop size to 7". I am considering changing the motor to something larger. The batteries I am using are 2 X 2200mah 20C and it…"
My son and I have been working on this UAV for year. We started by designing a foam model and then glide tested it, then started adding to it, servos, power plant, APM 2.5, GPS, rudder yaw damper system. It's been a work in progress. The…
"I'm no expert, but today I flew a 1.5 mile mission full auto, from takeoff to landing. I never touched the RC. For landing I set waypoints to make a base and final leg. I placed a waypoint on the obstacle at the end of the field I am using with…"
