"Impressive results once again, Euan.
Do you do the compassmot test with all your gear running? For example, is your FPV tx powered and transmitting? Cameras on? Etc.
I'm currently waiting for one last package from TBS (all my FPV gear) and then I…"

"Just wanted to add that I had a chance to look at my logs and I found ZACCEL at +/- 0.5g (from -5g to -15g) during hovering. Not awesome but not too bad for just throwing this together without too much care. Please note that I never left Stabilize…"
"Literally all I've done is just slap the APM on the top and used a rubber band to hold it down:
This is just temporary...once I get a few more parts I'll be making a better, more permanent solution."

"Federico, I think Michael means that the external GPS/compass is mounted on top and the APM is inside the Disco.
However, I have my APM 2.5 mounted on top of the Disco, it's sitting on Moongel pads with an elastic band holding it down. As I have…"

"That's good to know, thank you for sharing your build, Euan. I don't have my external mag yet, so I was just brainstorming ideas of how/where to mount the APM but still have room for a 5000mAh battery. Your blog post was very helpful."
"Rana: I don't doubt your experiences and in your case it does seem that, due to a misbehaving motor, you required a 30cm mast. But I don't think you can apply that as a rule - it sounds like you're saying that 30cm is required in all cases.…"
"Rana: Euan already stated that his compassmot value is 0%. Is that not good magnetic isolation??
30cm is almost a foot. Is there anyone mounting their external mag sensor a foot above their vehicles?"

"Oh this is awesome. I just put a Disco together not even 3 days ago. Currently running with the APM mounted on the top but I was brainstorming solutions for mounting it inside (once my external GPS/mag unit shows up).
What are your vibe levels?…"

"As my first post and a way to introduce myself, I thought I'd post a description of my scratchbuilt quad. I apologize if this is long but I want to include some details as it might help out someone or give them ideas for their own project.
