I am selling my 3DR Quad and Taranis X9D. Continental US only please. I am including a few pics of the kit and a couple of videos I took yesterday - demonstrating that it is flying properly, different flight modes and gimbal tilt. Buyer pays…
Hi - i'm thinking of selling this thing but i'm trying to figure out how to price it. I have well over 1K into it if you count the Gopro 3 but I am going to hold onto that. Here's what I've got - The copter, rails for gimbal, Tarot T2D Gimbal,…
"Ok thanks for the tip - I'll give that a go.

"I did test outside. so the only option you think is to replace the gps module?
Thanks"
Thanks"
"Also in Mission Planner it shows Sats as 0 - so I don't think it is downloading anything."
"Thanks for the reply- this is taoglas model. I believe it has an internal antenna. I never had a problem getting a fairly quick lock before. But I am in quite a bit different part of the country now. I feel pretty sure it was longer than 30…"
"Oh - also tried powering up from both USB and Battery - same results"
Well this seems odd to me and no idea what to do.I have 3DR Quad about a year old - I haven't been able to do anything with it for awhile and just getting back to it now. APM 2.6. I have a new receiver and Taranis FRSKY radio so getting everything…
"Cody - you can see my posts above. I am a complete novice - so wish me like when I get the new Taranis. I followed the instructions carefully and works great using the Rudder and Flaps Switches. 6 modes no problem. I suggest setting up another…"
I see there is a APM Planner download and a Mission Planner download. Is the APM Planner 2.0 just an update of the Mission Planner software that I've been using?Thanks,Fred
"Agree with the props. First time using those black nylon-carbon props. First flight after crash rebuild - this was the result.

"Post crash examination shows second prop cracked in three places and third prop with a possible crack under the spinner. I think I should trash these three and start again. Meanwhile motor on arm that hit is a little tight - got some dirt in it -…"
HiFirst flight after rebuild (due to tree jumping in way of 3DR Quad) I had a prop break off early in flight. I tightened the props very tight and not sure that I didn't over tighten. I was using Turnigy 1147 slow flyer props from HobbyKing -…
"Ok - let me refine my question now that I've played with it a bit more. I have confirmed in my radio that the Aux 2 switch is assigned to Aux 2. The gear switch is assigned to Gear - in the radio. The Aux 2 line from the apm is plugged into the…"
Hi - I would like to be able to use my DX7 properly with APM.I am using Channel 5 for Flt Mode with the Flt Mode and Rudder switches. I would like to be able to use Channel 6 to operate my Tarot Gimbal - due to arrive any day and to use Channel 7…
I've had to do a small rebuild after a crash on my 3dr arducopter - nothing major - cracked arm at the motor mount. As soon as the weather breaks a little I want to get it in the air again and was going to upgrade to 3.1. I figure I should run…
