"Nice build! Just one small comment. Usually when people talk about 250, that is the size from motor to motor measuring 250mm. It is not the weight. I saw you mentioning 250g. I am not familiar with the FAA regulation. Is it size of weight that…"
"You splice the wires to make y-cable for connection. Examples are all over the web."
"Quanum Nova and Cheerson CX-20 are the same and they come with preflashed custom firmware that you should leave as is unless you know what you are getting yourself into. OSD has nothing to do with the quad, that is your own customization add-on to…"
"The beeping is for low battery warning. If you connected a fully charged lipo battery then it should not beep."
"As I had mentioned before, I had posted several versions 3.1.5, 3.2 and then 3.2.1 and people have reposted my files too. You can use the thread tool to search for file attachments. This was the link to the 3.1.5 I had posted…"
"Hi Gabriel,
I am assuming you have updated firmware with Mission Planner. This is where you will have problem. The Quanum Nova is a rebranded Cheerson CX-20 which has a customized version of APM 2.5 flight controller. Since this was customized,…"

"Part of the problem with US these days is there are just too much bad/negative views spread by the US TV media in general making a large crowd of public who is not into this hobby speaking against the use of drones. You always see the news on TV…"
"It is crazy NRA can stop the US government from enforcing gun control, but yet FAA can ask for UAS registration. What is more crazy is somehow people think registration is the solution and how would you even enforce this as there is no VIN number…"
""Any flying object" so we will see FAA asking kids with Air Hog toys to have to register too and we will need to register if we fold up a paper plane for crying out loud! Heck if you throw a rock in the air it's a flying object!"
"Maybe, I never use the internal one even if there is one. I am sure it was mention somewhere it is not recommended to use the internal one. 3DR GPS already comes with the external compass to use so you would not be using the internal one."
"There is no compass in the Pixhawk. Compass is with the GPS. As long as the GPS puck is on top you should be fine. Not sur e what you saw; maybe you can share links for us to see what you are talking about. You can also use copper foil beneath…"
"Intel had recently announced $60 mil investment into Yuneec so they may start to move away from Snapdragon board and use Intel Atom based instead. Popcorn time..."
"Barrie, APM board ended with version 2.6. You are asking questions on the wrong forum. You should post your questions on the Rcgroups.com forum which is run by HK."
"There is no clock in the Pixhawk. Timestamp from GPS may not always be there as GPS is optional and it can also have GPS glitches so the timestamp is not reliable."
"Ardupilot already have a set of possible simple commands for auto missions like take off, land that you can use to translate into your voice control commands. As for other motions, you may have a hard time as it will be difficult to provide the…"
