"I really doubt it has to do with the satellite but possibly there is interference with it do to placement to close to other electronics.  My bet is that it is a tuning issue where you need to adjust throttle and other parameters for your quad so it…"

"I use the DX8 transmitter and cannot answer for the Dx7s and its ability to only use the satellite.  This might not work the same.

Anyone have longer arms they have used for the 2014 diy 3dr frame.  These dji 12" props will be to big and that is what I will be required to use with the motors I have(e600).  Hoping someone designed some newer arms that also have more screws hole…

J M replied to Randy's discussion ArduCopter-3.2 beta testing
