I'm not very familiar with the Pixhawk or other off-the-shelf autopilots. I was wondering, if I bought a drone that was already set up with a Pixhawk, would it be a cheap and simple process to change out the Pixhawk (in case of damage, etc)? Can I si

Hi there
After a few years of flying mapping missions with a fixed wing, using APM and Pixhawk, I got the opportunity to get airborne a 700 sized quad that was given to me (but not flyable as is). I've flown my son's Hubsan X4 a fair bit, but I know

So I just found out the 3DR power module is only rated for up to 4s batteries (i.e. 18v)
The funny thing is I noticed it after 6-8 successful flights with a 6s battery.
What is the risk if I continue to use the 6s battery? Does any component burn out?
I

Hi all,
Having a few issues with the Lidar-lite system (blue label).
As you can see from the video, it fails to cope with a "double dip" scenario, even at slow ground speed.
