"Nice!
I have an idea of making a light mount on the underside where the camera is protected and out of the way. Your idea is pretty simple and good though!
Please share a map photo when you have the chance!
"By the way, I did a loiter endurance test in abit of wind and I hovered for almost 17min! (1000sek)
I had only 7 sats due to bad GPS placement but i didnt touch the sticks for the whole time.. Calculated mah in MP was approx 3000mah in 4 degrees…"
Ok it took awhile to run the autotune and it worked flawlessly the first time! Well, Im not that happy with the pids but that is a different story. It feels more sluggish now but it was overshooting before so. It still works good and no…"
"Im about to do an autotune with my TBS disco as soon as I have reinstalled my APM(in a box with status lights etc). Its a couple of days ahead because of work though. Im running SimonK 20a blue mystery escs that have 50h flight time ie. proven to…"
"WARNING! We have had several failures with the Opto ESC from RCTimer! Many of them are soldered badly causing the ESC to get out of sync and glitch the motor. We have them on 4 Y6 and 2 quads and had one Y6 go down and one quad. I will start with…"
"Hey again!
I have done a bit of reading on my altitude CRUISE mode problem and it may be a feature? The FBWB_CLIMB_RATE parameter also controls CRUISE and is set on 2m/s default. On my heavy Twinstar (AUW 1.8kg) that could be a little low. I can…"
"Hey! You can make yourself some pretty good antennas very easy. I have a half wave dipole on the outer wing on my twinstar 2 and a regular half wave antenna on the ground. They are made with regular single servo wire. The half wave antenna is just…"
I just tried my Twinstar with the latest 1.75b. It barely worked in FBWA , i couldnt almost nudge it. I raised P a bit and it then worked ok. I have more to do there. But, in the new excellent cruise mode i did not have any elevator at…"
"Hey all, I had a little crash - could it be the APM (nooo!) or was it just me/the plane?
I loaded my APM 2.5 with the new 2.71 and took my Twinstar for its maiden flight. I tripple checked everything and the flight started good in manual mode,…"
"So it safe to use the plane in all modes except maybe AUTO without bringing the computer to the field? I dont really like to always set altitude to zero and bring my PC and based on what Will says i dont have to?
"Another thing, wouldnt it be possible to take for example, current, altitude, wind direction etc. and calculate an auto super efficient throttle rate? Like "Auto_Throttle" aka Cruise mode? WP distance could use the parameter "Auto_throttle" = 1 to…"
I received mine 3 weeks ago, same problem as you and then a new replacement 1 week ago and guess what - same problem! None of the pitot tubes cant really work well without this mod right?
