About Me:
I am your average heli nut, have been trained in CPL theory and currently have 32 hours in a H300 - Live in little old NZ, with a life philosophy of "Do No Harm" and really wanna change the world for the better!
Please tell us a bit about your UAV interest
Spent the last 5 years researching all things vtol and want nothing more than to work in the field of UAV's, Have a lot of experience with RC Helis, from Gassers to little micro FP's and I strive to find the ultimate application of all this wonderful technology we now have at our fingertips!!

"Hiya Juan,
From the looks of it the Baro was tracking altitude successfully so this might be useless info but there can be baro issues if the baro sensor gets exposed to sunlight as it heats up and expands and can be a real headache although that…"

"Very interesting thankyou!"
"Awesome, so it outputs one video signal with a split screen, so all you need is the goggle hardware to have 3D!
Great Stuff!"
Great Stuff!"
"Hi,
It is a much better idea to power a servo from either an esc (using the buillt in BEC provided your esc isn't an opto), or a seperate BEC.
Make sure the servo has both the signal and ground wires hooked up to the pixhawk, and connect the red…"

"So when you guys made your own cables, did you connect them to the pixhawk in the same order as they were on the plug? As in, do the wires translate one to one?
The reason I ask is that I have a GPS 6 to 6 cable, however the plug is the wrong size…"

"No doubt this has been addressed, however I just wanted to point out that any idea that there is a "pendulum effect" from mounting propellers above the CG as opposed to below it is a fallacy. Because the thrust vector is fixed and gravity acts on…"
"Wow, Great stuff, I have been waiting for a viable RIFT to FPV system and cant wait to try yours out!"
"Well Im gonna put it together and try it out considering the front and back motor pair aren't moved anywhere I can see being a problem for the flight controller, and if so then I can just edit the motor placement in the code."
Hi,Just wanting to confirm whether this frame layout will run OK with arducopter before I commit to building it, I don't see why it shouldn't work as a circular hex frame firmware considering the motor placement.Anyway please let me know what you…
"Also if you are not running the V frame type try it."
"If you have tried re calibrating the radio input, compass cal and accels etc. then re install the original 750Kv motors and see if you have the same problem. Then you will know if the motors are the issue as from what I understand these issues…"
"Hi dont know if this will help but I had some weird issues like yours once and found the pins were coming loose from the plugs going into the mag and gps. in the photo it looks like the rearward mag pin is out a bit??
HTH"
HTH"
"I like your idea, I have an fx61 phantom that I have been thinking about adding decelerons for yaw control.."
"Not throwing stones at a glass house, but I have had issues with a faulty FTDI chip on an APM 1.4 from JDrones a year or so ago and received no help whatsoever. Being that it was my first foray into the APM Hardware the experience left a sour taste…"
"Maybe try intimidating newbies (Im picking on newbs cuz they are an established stereotype of the guys most vulnerable to screw up) to respect the equipment more by showing them how powerful these systems are in some way that doesn't reference the…"
