Manu commented on Gary McCray's blog post JVC Adixxion - A Viable Alternative to the GoPro"Hi guys, a (very) cheap alternative for video recording+output, probably not playing in the same field than GoPro & co, but I find the results quite amazing for a small and cheap device like this one (44$). Haven't tested the…"
Eladio Garcia replied to Manu's discussion Throttle cut in FBW-A"Hi againg,
although I have seen now that "reverting back to manual didn't restore the throttle.........?????" I can't explain it. But, anyway, check what I tell you"
Eladio Garcia replied to Manu's discussion Throttle cut in FBW-A"Hi Manu,
I had the same surprise in my first test flights with my maja but I have found an explanation that maybe helps you. Do you now if your plane is flying over default height or home height when you have no throttle? If so, maybe your plane…"
Manu commented on Alexander Novikov's blog post www.rcdetails.info - mobile app."Magnificient! I can see you are event recording whether in stock, how do you update all this info? Automated or manual ?
Bravo"

On my frames, weight is usually the killer. Add the motors and battery, and you will be lucky to get 8 minutes without draining the battery more than 80%."
Manu replied to Manu's discussion H frame quad - full aluminium"Could anyone say if any/both of the the following configuration would fit here ?
HK Turnigy D3536/9 910Kv + HK Turnigy Plush 30Amp ESC + 3S 5000mA 20C/30C - total weight ~ 1.7kg without legs / 2kg with legs
Same config but…"
Manu posted a discussionH frame quad - full aluminium
Hi,I just finished building this H frame quad, entirely in aluminium, and I'm now trying to find the best compromise as for battery/ESC/motor to make the beast flyable.I do not have any clue at the moment on how to choose these properly, nor really sure that it will end up being flyable, due to the frame weight (900g)Would anyone be able to…See More
Manu replied to Connor Cross's discussion GoPro 3 Gimbal that fits on a 3DR Hexa-B frame?"their landing legs look cool as well.. wondering if anyone has ever try adapting one of theirs on the 3DR HEXA body ?

Manu replied to Minh Quang Tran's discussion APM 2.5 issue"I tried again, and I confirm that I now can't connect any more :-\
Is there any easy workaround ? do you really have to update the Arduino mega 2560 driver ??"
Manu replied to Minh Quang Tran's discussion APM 2.5 issue"Guys, I had the same issue after installing the MP 1.2.22, very difficult to connect after the update, but it eventually managed to connect after PC restart and several attempt...

Manu replied to Manu's discussion Turnigy micro quad tuning"I got back to my small tiny micro-quad and managed to get to a reasonable balance with the following parameters:
RATE_P: 0.03
RATE_D: 0.005
I would have done some more fine tuning if my flying skills had been better... unfortunately a pretty…"
Andrew Radford replied to Manu's discussion Turnigy micro quad tuning"I have the micro hex - and found it is a real difficult one to tune. Rate_P has to be < 0.100 and Rate_D about 0.005 IIRC.
Try following the tuning guide, and if you can install SimonK firmware on the ESCs, or BLHeli if they aren't…"
Manu replied to Manu's discussion Turnigy micro quad tuning"Thanks Chris. I realise that I might have been a bit shy on the decrease of this PID. I'll try that, together with the RATE_PITCH_P I presume. Tx"
3D RoboticsChris Anderson replied to Manu's discussion Turnigy micro quad tuning
"For a tiny quad like that, turn your Rate Roll P values way down. Try decreasing in 25% increments. "
