"Hi there! Anything known about the range?
Thx!"
Thx!"
Hi there!Today I mounted strong motors on my DJI 450 flame wheel: 2838 /1080KV - 280W with 11x5 carbon props. I am very happy with the flight-performance except for the slow oscillations in hight. When I keep throttle at a certain point, the copter…
Hi there,I have a Graupner MX-20 which supports PPM-sum on Ch8. I wanted to get rid of too many cables on my RX. So I changed to PPM. I did it like shown in the Wiki, bridged signal Pins 2+3 on my APM2.5 and fed the PPM-Sum to Ch1.In the mission…
Hi there,the follwing problem occures with my little DJI 450, APM2 (2.8.1) quad:I have my throttle spring loaded, when I let go of my throttle stick it is on 50% - but the copter does not even nearly hover - it sinks to the ground pretty fast. I…
Hello, I just loaded the 2.8.1 firmware on my DJI 450, 2826 1000kv, 9-5" Graupner e-props APM2 quad and noticed that it has a very nervous fight behavior. Of course I had the same thing on earlier firmwares but now I think it's time to do something…
Hi there!Yesterday I had lots of fun flying my DJI 450 quad with the APM2.I programmed a 5-waypoint course. All waypoints set to 20m alt and "waypoint" except for the 5th - I set alt to 0 and chose "LAND" in the pulldown menue because I wanted the…
"Hi there!
This might sound funny now - but what is so new and special about auto takeoff and landing?
I simply add the autotakeoff and landing command at the beginning and end and this is it.
As soon as I switch to AUTO, the motor kicks in and I…"

Hi,I think there are multiple ways how to find the CG of a quad-copter.How do you do it?I haven't come across a satisfying solution.Merry Christmas every1Joerg
Hello,here's something I don't understand: In the RC setup wiki it is recommended to use Ch 5 for the mode switch. But for the 2-axis gimbal there is also Ch 5 reserved for one axis. I tested the gimbal - it works.The 3-position switch works also…
Hi there,today I went out to test the new 2.1 Arducopter firmware and was surprised, when all 4 ESCs made the motors beep on start-up, (like beep-beep-beep... twice a second) therefore no spinning motors and no flying. :(I went back home -…
Hi there!Whats the best 20-30amp ESC for my new DIY quadcopter Project?From what I learned, it needs to be "fast" in terms of Mhz updating.Thanks for your helpJoerg
"The 3DR documentation is really confusing!
No matter how the orientation of the PDB is. Just stick to the wire colors! I fumbled around in Photoshop a bit:
But what I really hated about the documentation: it wants you to feed the motor cables thru…"

"Thanks for the quick response,
I removed the props, and balanced the motors. Now there is hardly any vibration in the system. (I did fly before with really bad props and vibration, but I never had problems.)
Anyway - What else I did until now:…"

Hi there!my 3DRobotics Arducopter with APM crashed yesterday. Nothing broke at first sight (two props died) but now it's doing strange things. When I try to lift off it leans stangely to one side. I can get it in the air but it floats around like…
Hi there,I'm a real newbie, managed to get my stock 3DRobotics quadcopter APM finished yesterday and did some tests today.Two questions for now:the copter was flying quit well except for a wobbling that occurs on (even not so very fast) descends.…
