Craig Fraser replied to bmarshall5253's discussion How to change screen layout of Mission Planner"Most of what you wanted:
Open MP. Select Gauges view. Double-click on HUD. This will detach the HUD (move it out of the way) and expand the gauges to fill the whole left part of display. Move the left border of the map display leftwards, (and the…"
Elliot replied to bmarshall5253's discussion How to change screen layout of Mission Planner"I think the layout with the dials above is nice and makes the guages easier to see at a glance, will there be an option in the future to customise this?"
bmarshall5253 commented on Gareth Rens's blog post 1st Octo Flight"Great first flight, looks like you've started to tamed the monster. You should be able to lift a big payload!
What was that dangling from the copter and swinging back and forth? I could tell from the sound of the motors you were not using much…"
bmarshall5253 replied to Sanbernar's discussion PVC hexa frame"Great use of PVC
Have you considered lightening holes in the top and bottom of pvc arms?
Hole in the middle of the aluminum motor plates both to reduce weight and provide airflow through motors.
That central hub looks like it is built like a tank,…"

bmarshall5253 replied to UAV_fan's discussion turnigy 11.1V lipo battery"Did you run the battery down after the charge in the morning? You should not drain a lipo below 2.7 volts per cell.
If you have a multimeter check the balancing lead for voltage on each cell, you may have lost one cell. Normal full charge voltage is…"

bmarshall5253 commented on Trent at MyGeekShow's blog post Scratch Built Wing on GeekStar"Okay Trent it's up to you to resolve who is on the right track :-)
Ryan thinks you haven't got enough dihedral and I think you've got too much.
You have gone from a semi symmetrical airfoil on the easystar to a flat bottom airfoil on…"
bmarshall5253 commented on Trent at MyGeekShow's blog post Scratch Built Wing on GeekStar"Trent, love your documenting of learning aerodynamics!
1. Moving the clevis out one hole on the rudder horn reduces the rudder throw, the lengthened rudder may have fooled you, moving out one hole on the servo horn would increase throw.
2. Quick way…"

I believe Black Sheep or someone else filming over Berlin…"

bmarshall5253 replied to Gareth Rens's discussion Turnigy G25 motor question"Gareth,
how many cell battery are you going to run them on?
recommended 14x7 is for 3S lipo and the 11x8 is for 4S lipo
You use a larger prop at lower voltage because of the lower rpm and smaller prop at higher voltage because of faster rpm…"

Sorry for your loss.
I noticed how thin the slow flyer props are near the hub and I looked up on APC's site the recommended max prop speeds
for a 10" Slow Flyer prop the max is 6500 rpm (65000/10")
At full throttle a 850 kv…"
