Good day gents and ladies,

I have been a silent reader for quite some time, and enjoy participating in this sport/ hobby/career/ what-have-you for years.

My latest build is a Hexacopter utilizing the Xaircraft frame and APM 1. I have the sonar, GPS, magnetometer, and 3DR telemetry working.

Everything spins up as normal, everything reports as normal in APM planner version 1.2.11.

I am using the Turnigy 9X with Er9x custom firmware. Everything seem to be fine in the transmitter settings as I can hook the servos up to my transmitter directly and they work fine with the 2 remaining pots. But not through the APM.

I have read over and over about getting my gimbal (goPro2 now, soon, NEX-5n) working but I cannot get it to stabilize or control it from my transmitter at this link:

If I hook the servos up to my transmitter directly they work fine on with the 2 remaining pots. But not through the APM.

Thoughts? Ideas? I would really like this bird to be a camera bird.
