"Thank you for the replies, your help is really appreciated!
I've calibrated the ESCs using the transmitter method and then, when I wasn't sure that had worked, the automatic method. I'll go through it again and see if there's an issue somewhere.…"

"Hi Andre,
Thanks for the reply.
I can't take off due to the motor issue. It's very noticeable on the ground. When trying to take off the quad tilts forward and the props impact the ground.
Can post a bin file of on the ground testing later if…"

"Hi Crady,
Thank you for the reply.
I'm really struggling to fix this so any help would be really appreciated.
I've gone through the setup for the joystick and re-calibrated the accelerometers. I did notice that the horizon had drifted since I'd…"

Hi All,Hope I'm putting this in the right forum to start off with.I'm having a problem with the speed of a motor on a quad using a Pixhawk. It's motor 3, it's slower than the rest. Noticeable particularly at low RPMs. The interesting thing is when I…
"Hughes, great post, thank you for sharing. I have a couple of questions if you don't mind taking a look:
I was hoping to find a little more out about the battery. It seems to have an excellent energy density. I presume it's made of 18650 cells? Was…"

"Hi Harry and Evan,
Thank you for the messages and your thoughts on the issues. In relation to the issues listed above:
1. Compass errors - The compass was set up relative (its attitude) to the Pixhawk and not the air frame. After speaking with 3DR…"

Hi guys,I'm currently designing a kind of motor glider (ish) and am planning on using a v-tail.I wanted to ask your opinion on the sizing of the tail that I've come up with and I'll run through some figures that I've used.Here's some useful…
"Thanks everyone for the replies, that's really useful!
Thanks, Tom"
Thanks, Tom"
"I would like to preface this by saying I'm quite new to all this: I'd not noticed that one of the motors was reversed. Once this was sorted I was able to take off with no issues!
If you do have time to check out the start up message when it first…"

Hi guys,There's a few issues I'd like to bring up here.Here's the background: just loaded copter onto Pixhawk and plugged it into a quad frame (had it in the frame before but used the Pixhawk in a plane for a bit). Connected via mission planner and…
Hi all,I'm looking for a motor/prop combination that will give me good endurance (over 45 minutes flying times) on my model. It seems like something along the lines of a relatively low KV motor (maybe this 400 KV…

"Hi,
Following on from the replies below I have gone through the autotune procedure and this produced the attached log.
Using the link to the AUTOTUNE page that Tridge supplied, I've also graphed ATRP.Demanded vs ATRP.Achieved and this can be seen…"

"Thanks, Hein. That explains things very well.
I'm still a little unclear on why the path in Google Earth shows the plane's course and altitude as different from what it was actually doing?
Thanks, Tom"
