"I hope you enjoy DroidPlanner :). I still don't know why your map is black (right side of the screen). Does it look black in google Earth also?"

"@Dave: for sure you  need some wheight at the front! At the first flight i did not level my quad, so i had to compensate with the stick's my COG is just behind the the middel hole of the 3*2 hole's near the back leg's (Where the…"

"Looks good, I was toying with my TBS, APM 2.5 with 750kv motors this weekend. The hardest part so far has been trimming it out. I don't have any FPV gear on the front so with a Nano 4000 3s on the back the drifting is pretty heavy. Rain and…"

"Yeah... THAT happens if you don't take it slow / don't tune and go out in windy conditions...: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F4xEHxDtm7Q"

"@Imko, fully agree to take it slowly. I also hate it to break things. @Josh, still hopes that the magic HK foam will do the trick, we'll see (fingers crossed)."

"I've had some of the same problem Jan.  Without a suspending mount for the APM my alt-hold works great but any waypoint based flying starts a fly-away.  I think with the TBS frame you have to drill."

"whell, since this is my first RC and my second season i like it to be a bit less windy. But i am getting braver every day :)"

"Imko, Don't worry about wind, the TBS can handle it :-) I was out yesterday for some testing on the 3.0 and I must say, apart from the virbation issues, the quad holds perfect in loiter even in gusty winds. This with stock PID setting, quite…"

"Imko,The TBS flies well but the vibartions are a problem with the introduction of the inertial nav.I tested the 3.0rc3 on antoher frame without any issues however for the TBS it is another story.On my previous frame (TBS-clone) I fitted some O-ring…"

"Hi Imko, Looks very nice.How did you tackle the vibration reduction as I can't see it from the pictures?Did you mount some foam under the plywood support? My TBS flies very well in stab mode but as sson as I switch to alt hold and loiter I get…"
