Hi all, I'm upgrading my Ironman FY690s Hexacopter, with a set on retractable landing gear. I can't seem to get it to work. My Autopilot is running APM 2.8 it flies well, but the landing gear is a new addition. I have a Radiolink AT10 Tx paired to a

I really like the Motor Test screen in clean flight
