Hi everyone,
I'm creating this thread to share your drone/copter information. I believe, this would help immensely for newbies like me during the initial build. For example, the Chris's blog on cheap Hobby King quad configuration is really a good resource.
I don't want to burden anyone who is willing to share their info. Hence all fields are optional. Atleast the first 5 fields are ideal. Please find the list of fields to copy/paste at the end, so you can start filling :-).
Here goes information about my quad.

deve essere tutto ancora assemblato, ho incontrato il primo problema nella configurazione della scheda di volo, al momento di configurarla il programma mi ha dato l'errore come da immagine allegata.
Essendo alle prime armi, chiedo aiuto a voi per poter portare a termine il mio progetto.
Grazie in anticipo.

Here is an update with my new foldable landing gear I designed and printed with my 3D printer for my DJI F550 frame.
I removed the Tarot gimbal in these pictures because now I am designing a better way to attach the gimbal (and I will print that with my 3D printer also)

I've been flying parallel battery packs for quite some time now myself. I start out by plugging in one battery, wait for the Pix to boot-up, then plug in the second battery. I even wired a third XT-60 connector for another battery but have never run it that way. I just make sure that both my battery packs are of the same mAh, C, and S ratings, and that both are fully charged.
To do this, I used a power distribution board that I have soldered three XT-60 connectors (for my 4S batteries), one XT-90 connector for my 6S battery (not used in parallel at the same time with 4S for obvious reasons), and I have three power take-offs from the PDB for my 5V and 12V UBECs. My PDB looks like an octopus, with the final pair (+ & -) wires going through a 90A AttoPilot to the Base-Plate of my F550 frame (which is also a PDB for the motors at each arm location).
The power distribution board I used was from my DJI E600 propulsion kit...

Janne, what's your flight time using this setup?
