You guys have seen this EL rig on a few of my other birds in the past... I've been tuning the Revo the past few days and quite simply have not had available daylight. How to solve? EL wire and some zip ties of course! Pirouette practice in the dark was cake once I was able to see!

AdminThomas J Coyle III said… @Drone_Savant,
Sorry to disappoint you, but I am not running an APM2.5 in my setup. Therefore I cannot duplicate his hardware configuration. Also, there are many alpha versions of the ArduRover2 v2.30 code and I have no idea which version he is using.
If my receiver loses contact with the transmitter it will put out a 1.5ms signal on both the aileron and elevator channels which the APM1.4 sends to the Sabertooth as the steering and throttle signals. Therefore the motors attached to my Sabertooth do not move if the transmitter is turned off.
Regards,
TCIII
