"Hi! I'm just wondering, but is there some sort of warranty? One of the radios stopped functioning and smells toast. We haven't done any changes to the wiring, and it was functioning well last week. We even had succesful range tests. But…"

"I received the RFD900 modems and APM 2.5 months ago, and just recently noticed that the telemetry port is different. I plan on creating the connector myself, but after seeing the picture from the diydrones store, the red cable is at the middle for…"

"There are actually a lot of people using 3S batteries. Check the forum. By using 3S batteries, larger propellers are recommended. Mine is 13 x 8. Read through the forum and you'll gain lots of information."

Delfin Magote III replied to Seppo's discussion RFD900 - New long range radio modem
"Seems like the X8 became famous. I am also finishing up my X8. As for the radios, these are 1W versions. RClink seems like to be just mounted in the RFD900 radios according to Seppo."

Delfin Magote III replied to Chris liou's discussion How to get started
"If you will be using a two-way telemetry, waypoints can be virtually unlimited since you can transmit new waypoints over-the-air. However, pre-programmed waypoints are only limited by memory. Arduplane has autonomous take-off and landing, however,…"
