Does anyone know of any propeller guards that can be easily fitted to a quad/hexa.
I'm thinking an tube that on one end has a 1/4 to 1/2 semi circle and connects or straps to the motor arm.
So I've got a pair of Digi XT09-SI 9 Xtend modules. I'm trying to get them communicating with a base station and an APM in a plane. I first tried the default baud rate, 57600, and range-testing the radios by jumpering RX and TX on the remote end and

As the compass offset is calibrated during fly from the GPS heading, what is the usefullness of the declination setting ?

Please forgive me if this is obvious, but I havnt seen any explanation around.

Yesterday, I was running 2.0.45 (I think), loaded previously through mission planner 1.0.76. My stabalize PIDs were turned well and my jDrones hexa flew nicely (impressively well, actually, thanks for the good code!)
The only problem was,
