"Hi Chris,
That's a great combo deal and less than half the price of the Holybro Pixfalcon Combo.
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!"

"Hi Patrick,
Nice setup! The Ubiquiti NanoBeam was less expensive than I expected. I didn't see a cone pattern for it but the 25dBi gain is impressive for the price.
Did you print the 3D parts yourself or send out for them? I was wondering what the…"

"Wow, that's some serious tracking gain! What distances are you planning for? Is it a commercial tracker design? Anthony Verloop said:
There are still some modifications to be done, but the concept is working very fine. Once it is finished, I will…"

I just compiled v0.8.0 for the pixhawk if anyone needs it, since it is no longer available."

"In the upper right corner of Mission Planner you can simply select which MavLINK COMM device you want to connect to. In the images below, you can see the change in COMM ports and GPS satellite count between my tracker and copter."

"Jimmy,
Today, there is tiltrotor support for the FireFLY6 in APM Plane v3.8.0. No AVA key is needed. You can find pre-release firmware and setup information here. Also, the PX4 stack supports tiltrotor for the FireFLY6 hardware.
Good luck!
Jimmy…"

"Hi Patrick,
Your tracker looks great! I'm glad you got things ironed out. The Pixhawk Lite does have several incorrect pinout diagrams so the images below are for others that may want to use this $47 low cost controller for their tracker. The…"

"Hi Andreas,
Thanks for the information. I have also found a video on YouTube below. I think it is you but I could be wrong.

"Nada,
After looking at your image, I would choose to treat the frame as either a quad or a tri, not a hexacopter. If using a quadcopter or tricopter setup, the front left two motors are treated as one in parallel as are the front right two motors.…"

"I usually stay in Alt. Hold mode when transitioning from Forward Flight to Hover mode because it is easier to move the FF6 around than it is in Loiter mode. Remember that in Alt. hold mode, the wind will push the FF6 backwards so you need to…"
"I took a look at the larger 1.2mb log file. The number of GPS satellites degraded during the flight which could suggest a noise issue from the electronics. The mode and throttle plot suggests that you were using Loiter mode in both Hover and Forward…"
"Matthew,
Each waypoint should have an associated altitude that you can set. Perhaps this would reduce the quantity of waypoints.
The "PreArm: Compasses Inconsistent" can be an issue. Some folks have solved it by cleaning up the power wire runs to…"
