"Still in shock kinda so I haven't connected with the apm to download my numbers. Might even have a tlog for this episode.
As I read through the PDF Anthony has organized, I see I missed A LOT of initial setup parameters. Just too used to…"

I am as a last resort asking for help figuring this one out. I have for weeks tried to sort this thing out by reading and experiminting but can't get it. Outrage 550, apm2.0 firmware 2.9.1, Tx JR…Continue

"Awe man, that sucks. What did you have your Stab_P set at? 4.5 is default, but I think people should start with 2 or 3 until the Rate PID is dialed in. It's not a cure-all if your Rate P or D is simply too high, but it helps.

"Thank you Anthony,
I jumped the gun thinking I had absorbed all the little nuances of setup till I tried the maiden.
I should have read this thread one more time... I mad a lot of mistakes and omissions that caused a somewhat sketchy…"
"Thanks R_Lefebvre,
That is exactly what was going on. I figured this out after realizing that the heli wasn't armed. Once armed, and the pitch axis reversed, it worked as it should. I had forgotten the arm thing from flying…"
"Thanks Randy,
I had looked at those two threads several times. I built according to the recomendations that I found there but when it came to troubleshooting, I searched a lot but I couldn't find the answer. Traditional problem with…"

"I think I know what might be happening... You might have the collective going in the correct channel, but the signal might be reversed (up is down).
Then, after pressing "save", you enter normal flight mode (instead of setup). And…"

Outrage 550, apm2.0 firmware 2.9.1, Tx JR 9503-dragonlink 12 channel first rev. receiver. My confusion comes in with the descriprion in the tradheli google code connection diagram. I think instead of connecting throttle on APM input channel 3 we really need to connect the pitch channel to input channel 3. With this connection however, as soon…See More
"Outrage 550, APM2 here. I have my mechanical setup and apm setup complete. All that remains, literally, is hooking up my throttle channel to the Rx and it's off.
Question is, Is there a new firmware version that is a little more stable than…"
"Thanks DanRZ. I finally got this figured out :-)) took only a few minutes to arrive at numbers that actually work.
Butter smooth now."
"I'm glad to hear someone using this feature. I have a couple of questions.
Firstly, how do you save the parameter you have changed with the channel 6 option?
Secondly, can you change which parameter channel 6 changes while in…"
"@ Andrew Tridgell, Thanks for the clarification. I was trying to avoid getting the wrong antenna on the module then powering it up.
Alls ok though, I got the frequencies sorted and should maiden tomorrow.
All 4 radio's work as…"
"Just received two pair of these beauties yesterday, one pair 433 mhz (two air radios, to use one as a ground ftdi style) and one 915 mhz. The problem I have is determining which of the air radios is 433 and which is 915. I've looked the…"
