"Randy, I actually think the registration requirement will reduce accountability. Currently when rc aircraft owners crash, they are very likely to recover/salvage the wreckage because they spent hundreds or thousands of dollars on their craft and…"
"I attached my taranis setup file. Companion 9xr should be able to load it. I am using SA and SB to select flight modes with SF as an overriding RTL mode. I am also sending the output through channel 5. I know you are interested in using SC, SD,…"
"You...da...man...Nuf said."
"Sorry, I didn't mean to embarrass you. Quite the opposite actually. I think your posts have been very helpful. Your regulator replacement mod was a good idea. You also backed up your choice of regulator with sound reasoning. Your board is at…"
"Well considering that I blew my 3.3v reg which turned out to be a great intro to surface mount soldering for me and I am having my fair share of tuning problems, my experience hasn't been too great.
But with that said I know some of my problems are…"

"Paul, you are one of the few around who are not using the tsp79147. I haven't read anywhere in your posts where you repeat the exact procedure that triggers the problem. Philip put the original reg through a lot of abusive tests including just about…"
"My board is unable to log. I disabled my dataflash permanently while troubleshooting a hardware problem. I think I do have a z vibration problem though. I am using the earplug mounting method for isolation…"
"Yeah, I taped a cotton ball to it with a bunch of masking tape to guard from prop wash."
"With your new regulator installed, what happens when you power it up via USB and hot plug in a receiver?"
"Can you try shorting 5v to ground through an inductor?
One more thing for any 3DR guys listening, this may be a good time for a PSA announcement warning against plugging in peripherals while powered up."

"For one of the tests, all buffer chips among others were physically removed from the board. He was still able to trigger the failure mode."
My quad has problems with alt-hold. It flies fine in stab but once I switch it over it begins to lurch a lot. It fails to hold altitude too, sometimes it rises and sometimes it drops.I have altitude Kp set to channel 6 and it is allowed to vary…
"Based on the sounds in the video I think you have a fast oscillation problem. Your P terms are probably too high. How does the quad fly with the default settings? "
"Try tuning you PID settings for pitch and roll."
"The I term eliminates steady state/long term error. Lets say you command the copter to level out by releasing the stick (ie tell it to go to 0 degrees tilt). It might get to 0.5 degrees which is very close but at that point the influence of the…"
