Last year I guess I lucked out and bought a 6' piece of 3/4" square tubing from Lowes that was a bit thicker walled than the 3DR arms, but now when I have been to several Lowes stores the same SKU# is 1/16" (.062") thick walled and feels so much heav

Read more…A couple weeks ago I unplugged my power module cable and it took the part of the socket off the APM with it just leaving the bare pins sticking up off the board. I carefully reinstalled it and put about half a drop of superglue on each end of it to
