Louis replied to Johann Van Niekerk's discussion APM 2.5 and 3DR power module failure."Morning Michael,

Louis replied to Johann Van Niekerk's discussion APM 2.5 and 3DR power module failure."Yes i did not get an esc with ubec because apm came with power module"
Louis replied to Johann Van Niekerk's discussion APM 2.5 and 3DR power module failure."Yes i was very disappointed when i had to bypass the apm and fly my X8 with rx only.
I was under the impression that 3DR power module that was included with the apm 2.5+ would make my life easer, power wise. But had to maiden my X8 with no apm. I…"

Martin Bellomo replied to Louis's discussion BIXLER CRASH THREE TIMES IN THREE DAYS WITH APM2 !!"I blame the first crash to power from the ESC.

I notice the issue with the case the first time and solve it…"
Louis replied to Louis's discussion BIXLER CRASH THREE TIMES IN THREE DAYS WITH APM2 !!"I am using 2.0 without a case.
Yes JP1 is in place
No i do not have a UBEC, getting power from ESC"
