"@Jani, I love how thin the tubing is(low weight). My tubing was .053 compared to .016. Major change in weight!
I was going to ask a heli question, but maybe that should be a different thread."

I've been using a Turnigy 2200mah 3s 30C battery. I setup a down timer in my radio and I'm getting 4.5 minutes per flight. This leaves the battery with a 20% charge left. I get the same flight time using the same battery in my MiniTitan…

Looks good, cant wait!"

"What resolution are you seeing out of the baro sensor? Are you using the highest resolution for the BMP085? Sorry I was too lazy to look in the code library."

Doesn't the airflow from the props really mess with the baro readings?"

Your right. I hooked my I2c to the connector behind the one your talking about. Yes that cable will work!"

The sensor is LV-MaxSonar-EZ0. I have a EM-406 GPS cable here and the spacing will not fit the Oil Pan/Shield V1.4 I2C connector. The connector spacing is the same size as servo connectors."

"@Tony: UltraSonic sensor for altitude. Thats the correct Magnetometer. The cable needs to have .1 spacing on the connector, I dont think that cable will work with 1mm spacing. You want same spacing as your radio equipment."
"I know the experienced guys already know these things, but extra safety is a must with a quad copter. Here are some of the things I noticed while setting mine up.

"So does the same guideline apply that you can have a Octo with 60cm between motors? Hope we get an ESC calibrator in the configurator. No hurry.
Jani is there any update when the frames are going to ship for those that preordered?
Thanks"

"Just for the record, I was only quoteing what mine had lifted. I have no clue on camera weights."
"Tony, I dont know how much you camera weighs but sorting out the problems with my quadcopter I mounted it on a Rotopod that weighs 700g and I was able to lift it without any problem."
