"The fact that the X-mode forward arrow is nearer to motor plugs 2 and 3 doesn't mean that those are the front two motors, it's just showing the direction the board should face. When you go to plug in your motors, you should still plug them…"

"Check out the E382 setup at event38.com... I don't offer FPV (first person view, what the hobby you describe above is commonly called) planes yet but when I do it'll be basically the same thing with a video tx/rx and camera. You can just…"

You're going to have trouble finding help with this.. commercial operators can't operate UAS in the United States without a COA and very few organizations have a COA.. check out this link with a list of organizations that do…"
3D RoboticsJeff Taylor replied to Knut Graf's discussion Platform characteristics: Quad compared to Hexa ?
"Hi Knut,
I think a hexa feels pretty much the same to fly as a quad except it will be a little less 'snappy'. The motor out capability is still theoretical for APM unfortunately.. that's really a secondary priority behind getting all…"

"I can't say for sure because I switched to a spektrum after I had the signal drop I mentioned above over a year ago. That time I was also flying a carbon fiber quad and I thought maybe the CF (which shields RF pretty well) may have been part of…"
3D RoboticsJeff Taylor replied to Zen's discussion My 4-Day Experience w/ Ardu 3DR Kit - A Newbs Review
"Hi Zen,
Sorry to hear about your quad! Based on my experience it sounds like the R/C gear lost link and it held the last good data it received which was high throttle. If you're using a Turnigy 9x that would make sense, I've had the 9x…"
