Is there any reason why one cannot add four pushers to a quad using just four escs to control all the motors?
I know that there would be no redundancy with that configuration, but there is an advantage related to lifting capacity...Anybody any experie

I'd like to have my gear automatically switched into the down postion at say 5 metres above the ground when landing....

Read more…I've had to go back to my APM 2.6 as my Pixhawk is faulty.
I tried doing an all in one ESC calibration bit the APM will no go into calibration mode.
Could this be due to the Rx/ APM being in CPPM mode?

The Minin flickers with the 4S too, but is steady on the 3S (only powered from the 5V anologue

But I've noticed that there is a slight roll twitch when I switch from any other mode to Loiter. Just once.

Read more…Hi all.
I'm considering stepping up to 4S from 3S batteries, and wonder what is the accepted way of transforming a 15v nominal supply so that on can use equipment designed for 12v supply? Video Tx, LEDS, gimbal etc.
Best.DP
Read more…I have set up my RSSI output pin to 1 in Mission Planner and set the Minim to raw RSSI signal.
There is a reading but it isn't constant. It 'scrolls' from a maximum of about 135 through to a minimum of 3. and switching off the Tx has little effect. An

I find that DP will lock onto my position with GPS enabled on my phone very quickly whereas in Tower it never does.
It also seems that DP doesn't have the 'Follow me' facility

Mine's out by at least a volt. Perhaps some sort of calibration necessary? I'm using APM 2.6 and a power module with the Minim powered by a seperate

Some guidance would be much appreciated for an asymetric 550 quad, mainly used for up and down arial photography, or to and from a point at slow speed.
