Hey guys,
I am having difficulty in getting my SK450 Dead Cat to take off. Even at maximum throttle, it does not lift off. I am running AC 2.9.1
According to xCopter Calc, it should hover at around 65% throttle.
My Setup:
1) I have MP 1.2.35 and can't find where to assign CH7 to Auto-trim. Has it changed to "Save Trim"?
2) Does any one have a list of Flight Modes for Heli's. I have found them for Planes and Quads
3) What is 'Toy" Flight Mode?
Thanks, Brian
Hi Everyone,
Have a 2.9.1 quadcopter which flies really well in stabilize mode but when I attempt to use Loiter or RTL, it takes off at maximum climb. It's easily recoverable by switching back in to stabilize mode again but don't know whats wrong. Als

My quad running 2.9.1 (APM 2.0) seems hold altitude quite well in altitude hold mode and loiter. However, in altitude hold if I try and fly around it climbs. I tried guided mode and a point about 50m away and in the process of getting there it

"Does anybody know if it is at all possible to downgrade firmware on the local radio? I upgraded it without really thinking, but lack the USB-FTDI cable to do the same for the air radio, so now they're on different versions and aren't really communi

I am planning to use a 3DR radion 433MHz together with a dragonlink. I just noticed that it is possible to tune the 3DR frequency band from 410-420MHz which would help me to have it working with the dragon link.
Have you ever tried this
