About Me:
I have several hobbies. to name a few, sport shooting and hunting, off-road vehicles, diy projects, and rc. Welder by trade, and in my 40's.
Please tell us a bit about your UAV interest
I own Hobbyzone Super Cub, with spectrum DX-5. Haven't put in a lot of flight time, mainly do to weather conditions and space required. Now i'm finding the drone/multicopter rave is more my style. I have a HJ 450 that I built from ebay, and am finding it very much to my taste.

"Does the genuine arducopter boards come screwed down? To be more specific, screwed to the top plate of the case."
"I've been having one hell of a time getting it to fly in any automated modes. Curious to see if it helps."
"The finished product. Solid as a rock but no flight time on it yet.20170123_183720-1.jpg"
"Where I took out material.20170123_183742.jpg"
So I have noticed that my board moves around in the case a little. So I took it apart to find it wasn't screwed down. The holes are there but no screws. So I proceed to screw it down only to find the case wouldn't close properly. So I then used a…
"Well I wasn't wrong about the weight. I threw a 3s 2200mah 30c on there and I'm just under mid stick at hover. I think if I can get a gimble and camera under 200 grams I'll still be at a reasonable stick position for autonomous flight. The 5000mah…"

"I'm definitely not hell bent on using terminal, just neither works."
"So I did just what it says to do. Plugged quad into mission planner via micro usb, connected on that com port, in flight data tab clicked data flash logs. Then clicked download dataflash log via mavlink, that's when I get this.... ERROR. Error…"
"What is I used an older firmware prior 3.2, would it work then?"
"I will post one for sure. I am just waiting to pick up my antenna from DHL. I'm running version 3.2 on mission planner. So I can only get data logs though mavlink. I can't get it to work in the terminal. I connect in terminal, it says com port open,…"
"Hello again. I took the "little girl" out again today "Walter", lol! Well, my problem is weight I think, flew with the 5000mah 30c with hover just over half throttle, same problem. Them said to hell with it and threw on 2 1300mah 15c in parallel and…"
"Did you find them under powered on 3S. The numbers say it should work."
"Have you used the 2212-920kv marspower motors."
"Did you have any thrust issues with the one like mine? I also am having trouble getting my data logs. Like its not recording them. They simply aren't there."
"So just a little update. My props are definitely 1045's, my battery is kicking all three cells top notch,full charge at 12.6, balanced. Recalibrated my tx to mp, and escs and motors again twice. Did notice they were out when I went to redo them. I…"
