Hi, guys. I have a problem with my hexacopter yawing constantly to the left. I've tried trimming it out on the Transmitter but apparently I can't get enough trim from that alone.It has an Arducopter Flight controller running the latest 2.x firmware…

"I mean I understand where you're coming from, having the motors turn the same way for each pair would be the simplest way to achieve results. But normally they contra-rotate for a reason, right?"

"If it's that simple then why doesn't everyone just have the motor-pair for each arm rotating in the same direction on any coaxial setup 6, 8, 12, 16 or what have you? What's the point at all for contra-rotation?"

Hi guys, I've been grounded for a while (due to a motor that I was too lazy to fix) but I'm back now, and I have questions.I'd like to eventually make my current hexa-copter, into a coaxial 12 rotor machine; a dodeca-copter. I was wondering if…

Hi guys, I had to reset all my parameters to default due to something getting changed while trying to get retractable landing gear installed. I've forgotten exactly what got changed, but I've gotten it mostly back to normal. Except i don't know how…

"I have a dual BEC arriving tomorrow, I got one with two separate outputs, because I need to power a transmitter for my FPV cam too. How is it all set up? Signal lead to channel 9 on the receiver, and radio 9 on the Tx to operate it?"

Hi all, I'm  upgrading my Ironman FY690s Hexacopter, with a set on retractable landing gear. I can't seem to get it to work. My Autopilot is running APM 2.8 it flies well, but the landing gear is a new addition. I have a Radiolink AT10 Tx paired to…

"Update. I've flown a few times...and crashed into a tree once, lol, it came out of nowhere. Anyways the damage from the tree-crash gave me an excuse to buy retractable landing gear as a replacement. I also ordered an FPV setup as well, which I've…"

"Hi Doug.
So I was able to get out and fly the copter yesterday, and I noticed that it flies smoothly in Stablilize mode but in Altitude hold and loiter modes it sounds very twitchy like it's constantly adjusting, is this something that is normal?…"

"I can already fly in normal mode Xp. I have a little quad that I've been flying for a while that doesn't have a headless mode. I just  didn't know that the simple and super simple meant headless. So  I was trying to control the copter as if it were…"

"Okay, throttle Max set to 1000, and everything appears to be working correctly on the ground. I'll see if I can get out and test flight today."
