"No video I can release and we used a BEC to power the servos (via the pixhawk servo rail) and the ignition."

"Ok,

The 3m does not have flap, approach speed is around 20m/s (metric), cruise is 25m/s, landing speed is around 17-18m/s and stall is 16m/s.

We run a DLE60 with a 22*10 prop which we find to work better than the 23*9 supplied.
BTW our is an…"

"Slowly,

We have done the first autotune but are now victims of the weather. There is a thunderstorm outside even as I type. Plus, as they say, Winter is Coming.

Overall though, it flies nice and very nice in stabilize. We are going to replace the…"

"Done and Done and Success. Thanks again Thomas. Next flight tomorrow in FBWA! Space Cookies!"

"Thanks (again) Thomas. Why the Tx? It's the result of an OSI (Ocassional Stupidity Incident). I will now de-stupid my setup and let you know how it goes.

Cheers"

"Hi Guys,

Got the Anaconda airborne on Maiden in Manual - good. Loaded Typicalaimsters config file - good. Still have Manual and stick mixing - good. What I don't have is Stabilize (moving the board does not move the control surfaces) - not good. I…"

"OK, cracked it I think. Just doing a bench top run through for a flight soon (tomorrow does not look good).
For a tricycle undercarriage:
In the parameter list check the following:
TKOFF_MINSPD = 0
ROTATE_SPD = whatever the takeoff speed for your…"

"Hold that thought. I hope to have an answer soon. Unless, you already have one?"

"Does anyone have a good "working" config file for the 3m Mugin?"

"Thanks, I guess my measurements from your photographs are good enough for jazz. Guess I will build it and see what drops out. I do like it. Keep doing good things. ;-)"

"Sorry Thomas, it's the (UK) woodshop in me. I mean the dimensions of the wooden parts you use in your mounting tray.

Thanks"

"Thomas, do you have a cutting list for the platform? No sweat if you don't have one handy.  I too am about to build an Anaconda with Pixhawk. My only real difference will be that the pitot head will be on a boom projecting about 14 inches forward of…"

"A key requirement, I believe, is to place the pitot head away from the fuselage or wing such that it is in free air. I am using a hollow carbon tube as a boom extended from the nose to assess my stall speeds. Otherwise, I am following the method you…"

"Thomas, thanks for all the help you have given by being a part of this community. I wonder if I could impose on your good nature a little further. Having followed all your advice I still cannot get my APM Planner to connect to the aircraft. Both…"

"Very nice. I am also working on a PTZ turret but have taken a different (cheaper?) approach. Can I PM you to swap war stories?"
