vibration resistance of pixhawk

Posted by sudesh goswami on April 18, 2016 at 1:42am

Hi everyone , I want to use my pixhawk on a gas engine rc plane, preferably the 2.2m hugin/ 2.6m mugin. But some folks have told me that pixhawk cannot take the vibration. Even if it does during take off there are chances it may just fall out of the sky(some say it has happened while using APM 2.6). 

Anybody any experience with pixhawk/APM on rc gas engine?

Rgds.

    Thanks James. I will definitely test out my pixhawk thisway. As far as the engine goes my companion feels 10cc is enough to get us to 18000ft. It will depend upon the design of the aircraft.Rgds.

    Dear James, Thanks for the prompt reply. However the people I know tried to reduce vibration with velcro and they failed(the ac crashed). Is there some better way u can suggest to isolate the pixhawk. Our knowledge is limited in this matter. We are planning to use a 10cc OS gasoline engine. Thanks and regards.
