"You must buy metal geared servos! emax es08md are what I use and they are fine. bought from giantcod (in the UK)."
"I bought the high clearance legs from quadframe.com along with their new metal-bearing 2-axis gimbal for gopro. Attached the legs via cable ties and a few extra drilled holes and the gimbal is designed to fit onto the underside of the battery shelf…"
"I had similar the other day, I decided to ditch it after about 10 seconds of it just drifting off. The thing to do in that situation is get it low asap then you can at least fly it home. I ended up flying mine into someone's front garden near the…"
"Just had a test flight. Was ok but I find now that when travelling with a constant attitude (ie nose down to go forward) for any length of time the internal state get's a bit funky and loses its sense of what is level.

"So I just updated to 2.4 - mistake.
Now my board does nothing except get to the first startup message and then hangs. I tried rolling back to my custom build and it still doesnt work.
Anyone got any protips on dealing with a broken eeprom ? Is it…"

"I broke my first one my dropping it on a tile floor - shattered the lens into hundreds of pieces. When I opened it up, I discovered that the whole lens+CCD asembly is VERY tightly glues and screwed together. It's extremely difficult to get into it…"
"Sandro, I had the same thing with mine. I have a gopro set to PAL, soldered the PAL jumper on the board. I assumed at the time my TV was cropping the signal (it's a widescreen tv not 4:3). I'll try it again in 4:3 mode and check all is well."
"Does look very nice, I imagine it'll double in price trying to get it shipped to the UK, though :("
"Just been out for a test after flashing the new FW.
Copter is 990kv motors, 10x4.5 props, 4000mah lipo with gps & compass.
General flight performance was great in stabilise mode. Did lots of zooming around the field and lots of very very stable…"

"I should point out this was happening on 2.1 alphas as well. It never happened on the old 49 or 50 versions. I don't know how to roll it back, though."
Hi All,Recently my APM board has not been starting up properly. When I connect it to a serial terminal I can see that it get's stuck on:Init ArduCopter V2.2 …
"I cant wait to try mine out. Got my MinimOSD board day before yesterday and my goggles & radio arriving either today or tomorrow!
Looks great - did you have an OSD?"

"I will do in morning, it's 1am here, I should probably go to bed...I've just been up for hours soldering everything and testing everything :)"

This module is designed to sit between a camera and a transmitter. The video cant get sent via XBee, there's not enough bandwidth. It overlays the telem and artificial horizon and then outputs the video again for you to transmit back…"

"One thing I did notice was that the battery voltage was wrong. It was showing 6v rather than the 10-11 I was expecting. I'll double check the mavlink output and try it again tomorrow to confirm but there may be a tiny bug."
"Just hooked mine up and it works perfectly! I was using a gopro hero2, board powered by APM 5v, PAL and connecting the APM telem port to the ftdi in on the minimosd board. All works! It's AWESOME. I can't wait for my tx/rx gear to arrive so I can…"
