Newbie on the rise in NW Florida!
Please tell us a bit about your UAV interest
As a hobby. I like the idea of a small aircraft that can follow "instructions" to carry our various missions autonomously within LOS.

"Hi David,
I have the Pixhawk 2.1 installed and will be trying out tomorrow. The biggest issue was the top shell of the IRIS was not quite tall enough to accommodate it. I had a spare top shell from when 3DR sent all initial buyers an upgrade…"

"I was searching for this same thing. I have just disassembled my Iris(Development model) to see if this is possible. From what I can see so far, it looks like it is very doable. Wiring shouldn't be to bad. Have you swapped yours yet?

"I am setting up a new vehicle. I'd rather wait until the issue is resolved before I maiden it. It's ok though, raining here in NW Florida anyway.... I'll shoot for next weekend."
"Same issue after the upgrade. I am now grounded......"

I don't know about most IRIS owners but the external status LED that is located on the bottom of the battery compartment is a bit hard to see before launch. I decided to implement an idea to view the status LED from the top of the shell.I drilled a…

"Turns out I had a bad external RGB LED and 3DR is replacing it."
I finally got to take my new IRIS out for a short flight. Everything went well for a maiden flight except the status LEDs are not working. I removed the shell and the status LED on the PixHawk is not working either.Any suggestions for me to try…
"I've tried to find this answer in the 310+ pages with no luck.

"RC5 is looking good on my APM 2.6. My first attempt at Autotune ended in a crash - Looks like 3 meters is not a good starting altitude. 10 - 15 worked much better. Definitely need a nice big open area. Altitude hold and loiter are great! Stab mode…"
"Well i need to step back and redo my measurements. But definitely something wrong. Stay tuned...."
"Man this is getting deep and frustrating to find my own posts! And the lack of a topic search is, well, why? Can we branch off into and RC5/v3.1 version of this? Just curious. "
"Well I just ordered a new 3DR APM 2.6. Hopefully this will work for me. Oh - also pulled the trigger on an Iris!"
"First of all I am amazed with all of this and thankful to boot! The Developers are fantastic.
