Hi to all,
Plan to purchase a 3DR/X8+ soon and would like to talk with members located in the Pacific Northwest that has experience with the multi-rotor. Live in eastern WA but willing to travel to Seattle/Spokane areas for conversation.
Specifically i

Is there supposed to be a voltage on the signal wire of the ADC port?
I've installed a SF02 on my plane and it works perfectly if I monitor the output analogue voltage. However, I'm getting nonsensical values on the pixhawk when viewing the rang

Since moving to high-end motors and props I have had very low vibes in all my craft, so I was surprised to run into vibration issues in a recent build, my first X8. I did all the usual things of (re)checking all my motors and props for balanc

When we went to charge it at 5 amps, we killed two I charger 208Bs and then blew up the power supply.
Something's not right.

I was just wondering what you guys' input might be on efficient quad setups. strong ones. maybe for a dslr even?
i was always just looking for low kv and 8s or 10s. but my flight times aren't that impressive.
what do you think?
