I recently upgraded to 3.1 on a trex 600 running digital servos and I am getting a random twitch. I thought at first it was the ppm encoder so I re-flashed it like I have done before on other APM flight controllers. After doing so I didn't see any ch

I have read a lot of articles on both sides of the supercapacitor argument, but no one seems really certain within the UAV community. Correct me if I am wrong (because I'm really trying to understand) - I thought the ESC and BEC regulate power. So, i
