"How are you getting a 4000-8000mAh pack into this little plane. You must have had to put tons of weight in the tail. Does it not get a little hard to fly at those weights? "
"Do you have any pictures or the setup? I ask because I now have a calypso but have not starting adding the pixhawk in yet. While there is a lot of volume upfront it seems like it would become too nose heavy with the pix and a battery. "
There seems to be a lot of information out there to get someone from zero to flying with a triggered camera and then from images to processed output. But there is a gap in what to do in between. There are several parameters we all mess with when…
So by an odd turn of events I have a dji H3-3D gimbal which has a great plug and play option for a Phantom, but I don't have Phantom.I do have a quad running Pixhawk that I would like to use it on though.The gimbal has a single cable to go from the…
"So has there been any success with the Calypso as a platform. I would be interested in seeing setups and knowing what kind of flight times they are getting "
"Got the radio question solved. But still would like to know some rules of thumb on quad propulsion sizing
Thanks"

----------Turnigy and Pixhawk----------------I have done a previous project with the old APM and Futaba radios which ran a jumper for each channel from the Rx to the APM. I am about to bite the bullet on a Pixhawk and would like to use the Turnigy…
"So to get a little extra speed and power out of the servos can I run 6v from a regulator into the arduplane? Can the regulators in the ardu manage this? Also are the regulators just going to cut it down to 5v anyway or is there a separate voltage…"
So I have an existing airframe which has a servo for the rudder and a servo for the nose gear steering. Usually in RC I just combine the actions in the controller. Is there a way to have one of the aux channels on the ardu be a nose gear steering…
"Changed all these to 1 then connected then changed them back to my desired values. "
"So I won't claim that the following is a solution, it is merely the last thing I tried before it started working. It may be unrelated.
AMP>>Config>>Planner
Then I turned all the data transfer rates (attitude, position, etc...) down to 1Hz and…"

"So is there a way to get a simple, lets say .txt, .dat, .mat file of numbers and headers that could be fed into programs like excel or matlab? For instance
time alt IAS mode ...
00:00 150 36 Auto ...

Earlier today I had the Mission Planner communicating perfectly with the APM (1.4). But now when ever I try to connect the usual window comes up and says "Getting Params.. (sysid 1 compid 1)". Then that stays for roughly 30seconds then I get…
