"Just tried it successfully in the Beta Build (1.3.50.6)."
Can one of the Dev's of Mission Planner please have a look at this error.After the 1.3.50.1 release of Mission Planner, I can't Georeference my photos anymore.I've followed the workflow a couple of times previous to the release and it worked without…
Does anyone know how I can customize the Checklist in Tower?
"Hi Gerhard,From what I've read it is definitely worth it to AutoTune your multirotor and it works well in most cases and I'm sure it can work for your system as well. But I would be careful doing it the first time. That's why I think it's a good…"
"Hi Gerhard,
I'm in Adelaide (Australia), but originally from South Africa - so cannot help with hands-on, but I'm also in the process of tuning a home built quad using a pixhawk FC, so I can share some of my experiences.

"Thanks for the link - just what I was looking for!"
"Leonard,
Thanks for the detailed explanation again. That little bit of extra information always helps to make things a bit clearer. Some of us do realise that this hobby would be a lot more frustrating if it wasn't for the devs that constantly…"

"It's all in the discussion above, but for my drone using the default PIDs it started oscillating and crashed."
"I think I know why my quad flew well in AltHold mode, but started oscillating in AutoTune.
The key lies in this graph:
This graph shows the actual roll angle (green) and the desired roll angle (red). The left shows what happened in AltHold mode…"

"Thanks guys,
The Tarot 650 looks good. And I wouldn't mind upgrading to that. But it think it would essentially be a complete rebuild for me. It looks a bit heavier, and I don't think my current motors will handle that. I think it would be a fairly…"

"I think that's it!
You're right. It's a flamewheel clone. I just tested it by hand. It's quite stiff for lateral movements, less stiff when bended up or down and not stiff at all when twisting. That would explain why pitch and roll oscillations are…"

"Thanks Cliff,
Sounds like good advice. I will add both ideas to my improvement list.
Here are some images that shows my current setup and the damaged components. If anyone has any suggestions on improvements, please shout out.

"Hi Leonard,
I get what you're saying about the pitch axis oscillation being unusual when the twitch was on the roll axis.
What I struggle to see is where you got the information from that it kept going right and forward. I probably look in the…"
