About Me:
I have been tinkering with RC stuff for over 40 years. I have seen amazing leaps in the hobby. My first RC was a Jerobee McLaren MK8B car, Remember JeroBee ?? My first "fancy" radio was a Heath Kit 8ch single stick. built it myself.... them were the days.....
Please tell us a bit about your UAV interest
Currently flying Multi rotor stuff I have home built. Doing some FPV, filming and just having fun exploring the possibility of the technology.

"Just had a crash... I'm not sure what happened, but it wasn't good.
Let me try to explain a bit. I have a quad, quite vanilla in design about 14in MTM. Been flying it for about a year, its a good flyer. I have been flying the beta flightware…"

"I made this last year. top speed is about 0.5mph. Nav works well, just took some tuning.

"Hey David
This is an experimental frame setup that I saw on a FliteTest video and liked the redundancy of the design.
Its a work in progress... The Tri is about 24 inch MtM with 2 extra motors very near the CG.
Motors are 850KVA Battery is 6S…"

"Thanks David
That was just what I was looking for.
It seems that the PixHawk works the same way. Servo plugs into out 7
Cheers... "

I have a Pixhawk with 3.3-rc5 setup on a Tri configuration. just about ready to maiden. I need to limit the movement of the Yaw servo. (a physical limit issue)Is there a Min/Max limit setting for the Yaw servo ? Thanks for any help.
"I had a similar issue on my first time setup.. My problem was resolved by reversing the throttle channel.
I had the same symptoms, worked in manual, but no go in auto. It was steering, just no forward motion.
I don't know if this will help you or…"

"I use the joystick for controlling my rover more then I use the radio.
It works well once you get everything dialed in. "

"Thanks for the reply Thomas.
I got it figured out. I'm using a custom arduino based mixer. I had the throttle reversed. I adjusted my mixer and things look good now.
Cheers.. \o/"

"I got it working... I had to reverse the throttle response.
When I went to Joystick control, I found the throttle was backwards from my transmitter.
The rover has all wheel steering and I use a seedruino as a custom mixer.
Once I reversed the…"
