About Me:
I am a fabricator. I have cnc machines lazer cutters and other various tools at my disposal. I design things for museums, hotels, and the movie industry.

"Hi Randy, I was thinking I wanted to power the apm with a seperate bec for two reasons one clean power source and second was that if for some reason I drained my motor battery I could still glide to safety with a powered apm and reciever."
I was wondering if there is a way to use the power module on Apm 2.5 but to not have it power the board. If I could I would like to power the board via a separate bec on the input rail then use another bec to power my servo via the output rail and…

"Yes Taylor they are included in the full frame kit. Right now I can fit my GoPro no problem with this gear, later Hexa versions will have gear able to accommodate small handheld HD Video Cameras. Stay tuned in the next week or two for some pics of…"
