Hi
I suspect this is a Windows problem but I have to see if anyone here can help me along.
I had a PC with Win XP that I was using succesfully for this but the MoBo went to Silicon-heaven just as I finished assembling my first Arducopter.
So I started u

My hexa is flying pretty smoothly, but it has a minor twitch even in a slight breeze. I want to set it up for video, so I'm more concerned with smooth rather than acro type movements.
Ideally I would like the heli to slowly correct itself if it is dis

Hi,
Just curious if the Amps readout is functional at this time?
I am not able to get anything other than a zero after running the motor at 40% throttle for an extended period of time.

Everything else works (beautifully!), Bat

Hi all,
I bought a Turnigy 9X and I'm building an Arducopter, and I'm a total newbie for what pertains airborne RC models.
From what I understood the Turnigy is basically the same (or very similar) HW of more expensive radio. The thing that keeps is c
