Damian ONeill replied to Alex's discussion TBS Caipirinha setup
"The Pixhawk will be a tight fit?

I use the TBS power pack on 2s. If you fly well for endurance - slow climb T 60-70% power and slow cruise by managing the throttle I can get 25 mins on 3300mah. If I go hard about 15 mins.
Can't remember the weight,…"

"Just set this up in MP under compass.

Calibrate the compass and then check heading is right on the Flight Data tab.

Cheers"

"Sorry to hear that.
Mine flies perfectly with stock PID's.
Sounds like your elevon mixing was not quite there.
I fly in manual for FPV, but I love minimosd and the ability to RTL.
I have tested RTL from 7km and it flew straight back."

"Something I have never known with both Plane and Copter when updating is, do I have to go through full setup? Do I just load a Hex file?
I usually always erase eeprom and reset, but somebody asked tis question the other day and the response was…"

Damian ONeill replied to Randy's discussion ArduCopter-3.0 ready for wider use
"Had a day to fly yesterday.
Discovery, NTM 750 140w, 10x5" props, 4S.
Kept losing GPS and it would dart off in Loiter. Thought it was either the 3DR radios (900) or VTx (1.3g). Unplugged them both but same thing.
Went back to 2.9.1 and all was well…"

"If I was on your side of the bay I would gladly help. Sometimes just restarting MP or your computer can help and making sure you can see the com port. Pretty basic and you have probably tried it. Otherwise just go through a proses of elimination."

"First full fpv flight with V3 rc1 and I had not issues whatsoever. I have been hovering, getting compassmot to 39% and little vibration due to weather. In other words I spent time getting everything right.
Tried Stab, ALT Hold and Loiter in about…"

"Very happy with V3 on APM 2.5, especially Alt Hold. I cant believe the Stock PIS's are all I needed on TBS Disco with NTM 750 Kv. Easiest setup yet. Thank you
 
Is the loiter 'rush' due to GPS? I replayed my flight (hovering) and saw that the GP…"

"Hi Alex,

I run this setup and am using stock PID's. I did try the Teksumo PIDs but they were awful. The stock work perfectly for me."

Damian ONeill replied to Andrew Tridgell's discussion ArduPlane 2.73 released
"Using AP 2.73 with the orientation 90 Degrees (Clockwise). I have this set in the Parameters and the HUD responds appropriately.
On the Flight Planner screen should the plane icon also correct for this and show the plane facing North if it is facing…"
