Did you manage to find someone with a parameter file for the Epp FPV? I have been flying mine with parameters pretty much identical to the Skywalker values.

I received a 433MHz 3d radio today but run into problems when I was to test it. One connected to the computer via FTDI cable and the other to the APM1. Green light on both. Flashing red one the one connected to APM and flashing dim on the one connected to PC.Was not able to connect and read status on the radio via APM or the 3d radio tool. Tried to short CTS to ground an reflash it but no luck. Then I found this document …See More

Hi EveryoneThis is my first post here as I just got my first Ardupilot Mega. Last night at work I soldered parts together and was able to upload software and play with it. When I got back to work this morning to show it of to my colleagues this morning it was as dead as it could be. Not even a single blink in any of the leds when USB is connected. Any suggestions ?
