"Hell what do I need to do, sprinkle pixie dust and get it blessed by a Shaman? Shouldn't be that hard and there's not much room to move things around. I've seen APM's on a lot smaller quads than I'm running GPS and all. I pulled the red power lines…"

"Maybe that's my problem. I'm not using the power module, I have the jumper on and I'm powering everything from the ESC's."
