"Hi Trevor, how's life in sunny West Midlands, what are you flying?"
"I don't believe that what you are trying to do is achievable, if the centre of gravity of your multi rotor is not perfect where you have attached the anchor point it will react as if the multi is way out of balance when the load is applied to the…"
"I'm still running 3.1.1 on my Hex, just loaded 1.2.99, went to the full parameter file and loaded the latest saved parameter file from this morning where I change the PID's, everything is working fine, stabilised, land, RTL, loiter and Tx…"
"Just a simple question.
Why would you want to take off in loiter or alt hold, and why would you waste all that time on developing the code for it, I can not see the rationale behind it all.
I'm sure there is a good reason for it."

"It looks very familiar with what Trimble are using with there aerial survey/mapping system."
"Mr R, I have just finished reading this topic and your right on the money. I've just started to learn how to fly my new toy, an Align 450L and there's no doubt they are far more difficult to fly, a real challenge but thoroughly enjoyable. The other…"
"Emin, if you fly where it is designed to fly the dangers are far, far less than you flying you multi rotor in your back yard, don't quote me but I read that it's MTOW is close to 100kg. The impact on rural Australia will be huge, the biggest bonus…"
" Mr R, I don't know if you have seen the Yamaha RMAX industrial helicopter or not, but these are available in Australia for commercial operation, I believe there are only 2 in the country at the moment involved mainly with seeding and spraying rice…"
"I loaded up 3.1.1 10 days ago and while the Hex flew exactly as it did before in stabilised, I tried alt hold, loiter and they worked fine as well. I selected land and the descent was unusually high so I flipped back to stab and landed. I checked…"
"Dragged the Hex out this morning after being away for a week and it still flies solid as a rock, but it's has always been a bit sharp to stick inputs so I was going to play around with the PIDs and tame it just a little. Then I remember what Marco…"
"Hi Randy, Marco and the DEV Team,
I have just loaded 3.1.1 and the Hex is still flying like a dream, the stability is amazing and it gives me an enormous amount of confidence to just want to go out and fly, fly, and fly some more.
Thanks a heap for…"

"Brilliant, now we're getting serious, as Henry Ford once quoted;
If you think you can, or
think you can't,
Either way your right."

"Nice video Balloon, really looking forward to the Hybrid update when that comes out.
I have been flying 3.1 since that come out and very happy with the Hex, especially after auto tune and playing around with them to suit my preference, I couldn't be…"

"I bought a hex Flamewheel clone and in the forum somewhere it states that the clone arms are not as rigid as the DJi units. So I went and checked this out for myself, my response to that claim is I walked out of the hoppy shop with 6 DJi arms, there…"
