"Check the instructions for the receiver on setting the fail-safe options. You need to set the receiver to lower the throttle when connection is lost."
"Some of these responses on props is bogus. Props are not well understood by a lot of people.
High pitch props are used for speed like the high gear on a car. Lower pitch props are for power like 1st gear on a car.
The multicopters need power not…"

"It is a 10x4.7 prop, not a 10x47. The APC props are available from most online hobby shops."
I have tried turning off the transmitter to test Failsafe twice and both times the motors disarmed and the copter fell. Before I try this for the third time, I would like to ask some questions.1. When I change the failsafe options in the MP, there…
"I still don't know if this is supposed to work or not. I changed my Sonar and the problems I was having went away. But the on/off option still does not seem to do anything."
"Your battery is rated for 250A. You need to look at the current and see what your motors are pulling. If the battery is fully charged and healthy, you should not see a large drop. Fully charged, it should read 16.8V. At take off, It should not go…"
"The 14SG has 6 three position switches, one two position, and one two position momentary."
"Interesting. In Texas, they would not have a chance then. I used a double thickness of gyro mounting foam on each corner of my APM. It seems to be working well."
"@Mark, if you look at the board with the motor outputs facing you, Just above the motor outputs is a two pin jumper. I don't know if you put the header in or not. This bridges the ESC power side to the rest of the board. I went to look at the…"
"Do you already have all this stuff or is it a shopping list?
I would suggest you buy the hexacopter kit from 3dr. I like the frame better because you can get the spacing you need to avoid interference, especially magnetic. You will have the power…"

"Mark, if you have the power module, you don't need the jumper. If you don't use the power module you can use the jumper. It should have some with the APM controller. It is a small black square. This is a jumper like is used on a hard drive and other…"
"@Mark -
APM 2.5 has a two buss system for power. If you use the 3DR power module, it can power the receiver and APM. There is a jumper you can install and power the entire system from one of the ESCs. Check the setup stuff on the APM."

"I started to ignore this but decided to put my .02 in.
The Arducopter has a lot of options you are not going to get for a long time, if ever, on a Blade. I have some experience with the KK2, NAZA, and the Arducopters. I also have some experience…"

"@Dan Barreiro - Yes, try following that link. It should work although it is a little over-detailed. I don't know where this would be in the discussion board."
"@Dan Barreiro - Arudupilot - Arducopter is the same thing. You can use the video. You basically setup three modes using the three position switch. Then you program an offset mix on the two position switch. The offset just moves the signal down to…"
"The beeper is A5 as above. the LED_MODE set to 11 should work to enable Arm, beeper, and GPS. I think mine is actually set to 27. If you only want the beeper, 9 should work. Remember you only want the ground and signal lines. The signal is sourcing…"
