"Hi Richard;
I found the issue, I had two bad servo extensions for motors 2 and 3. I replaced these and I have all four motors spinning. Thanks Richard for be a great friend and being a sounding board for my issues. Will give you the flight…"

"Hi Richard. I do have new 40A ESC from RCTimer. These are not the same ESCs as in the Y6. I Programed each one at at time and then all at one time by plugging in the battery with full throttle and then waiting for the sounds. You know the routine.…"
"Also I never did get the Y6 to fly, I gave up trying to get the PixHawk to function properly. It only flew on the bench with out props of course.. Any help is welcome... If you like I can ship the Pixhawk to you and let you see if there is an issue…"
"Hi Richard; Well seams that I only talk to you when I have issues. I have a new quad that I put the Y6 PixHawk into. Loaded the new firmware for the quad and now I cannot get motors 3 and 2 to run. I cannot even get it to spin on any motor when…"
"Hi Richard. I still have not flew the Y6 with the PixHawk. I now have put it into a quad and maybe I can get this thing to fly like it is supposed to. I read or remember seeing (YouTube) something about SimonK firmware for the ESC's might cause…"
"I have printed ever piece of documentation that is present for the PixHawk. But then just listening to others on the forum, you may be the lucky one. Since this is open architecture there are plethora of settings and subjected to being open to any…"
"I have a IRIS+ that flies just like planned without problems one. I have over 200 flights on this little bird with out hiccup one. But my PixHawk right out of the box will not arm. I have tried three different GPS/compass without any luck. I am a…"
"Just about everything if you get the total (Developers) kit for the PixHawk you can input via C++ code to which the operating code. The developers download is for all to use and the code is reviewed by a review board and if the code is a benefit…"
"Right out of the box the NAZA V2 will out fly the PixHawk hands down. If you are into tuning then learn C++ and you can reprogram the PixHawk. The auto tune function in PixHawk does work but you really need to understand the PID equation to fully…"
"You do not need the A2 the NAZA V2 for 299.00 USD will power that just fine..."
"Hi Virgil;
You are welcome, I just want to help prevent you from crashing that large craft. If you want to play with the PixHawk like I am doing then grab a really cheap F450 kit and mount the PixHawk and work out all the issues that you may…"

"I cannot answer that question. I have retrieved the quad and downloaded the logs and I cannot find anything that might point me in the right direction. But I did read that some SimonK ESC will cause glitches and out of sync motors. I did notice that…"
"My two cents is to stick with DJI V2 or maybe the A2. You will not loose your bird. I've had two fly aways with my Iris+ and with my PixHawk on a 450 quad. I'm back now with DJI NAZA V2 with 16 waypoints and have had no problems whatsoever. If you…"
"Hi Richard, I just found out how to get 14 channels via bus with my fatuba t14sg. I was messing around with the sbus and thought that I would hook up the bus extension to see if I could pass an open channel through to control the gimbal. I…"
"Hi Richard; I bit the bullet and ordered a NAZA V2. I think that It will fly my Y6. I still cannot get it to configure properly and again it really acts funny in Loiter mode. I will keep up posted as to my progress as I have ordered a 250mm squad to…"
