I am close to the fun bit of my new build but am dismayed that I cannot find any folding propeller to fit the design at 1855. The thought of bolting props onto the beast every time I need to launch does not excite me.
I have read some bad things about

I have a new X6 build using Pixhawk I have Taranis telemetry working. I have had a few test flights to see how things were
Read more…I know this topic is recurrent but I can't find any relevant discussions to guide me in my quest to resolve this.
Background:
I have a new X6 Tarot build. It's flying very well and I finally got the confidence to lift my sony A7II on an home made RCtim
Read more…I couldn't find any information on how to operate a Sony Alpha A7 over IR from a home made source (arduino for instance) so I reveres engineered the codes and thought I would share.
I have an Airpixel commander and it is perfect for my UAV application
Read more…I posted this problem on RCGROUPS but on further investigation I a think my problem is in some setup I missed in mission planner.
I have a new X6 based on Pixhawk. The salient features are:
- Tarot 5008 motors
- 1855 CF props
- Pixhawk
- Multi-pal 40A OP
I have a new build and ran autotune today. I have the tune mode AUTOTUNE_AXIS = 7
I ran Pitch and roll but I had to land before yaw was complete. I left the channel 7 switch which activated auto tune in the "ON" position until I landed and disarmed.

My gimbal:
It's actually a 2 axis Tarot servo gimbal but I can't control continuous servos from a Pixh
I have a new X6 Tarot build and so far the early flights are going well. I now look at the gimball and camera mount.
I should first clarify that my goal is aerial still photography with a full size Canon camera. That means that stable video is out of
Read more…I bought a 680 pro build from Craigslist and have been upgrading and adding gimbals etc. It has flown a few times and done very well being stable in loiter etc.
Recently, after solving a loose prop issue (solved now) I discovered a bad drive. I say dr

In an idle moment the thought struck me "Why do I need a gimbal for still photography?".
Surely I need a camera moun

I looked at the wicki and it suggested that the USB was for show and FTDI was needed. I used the Arduino FTDI hack to
