Please tell us a bit about your UAV interest
I do photography work, and a UAV is extension of my camera lens. Also, a UAV can be used to search for people who have gotten lost in the woods, rugged terrain, so I am interested in using the UAV for this application also.

I prefer not to list that...

"Puzzled? Don't know what I did to have Radio 5 active. Move what suppose to be the throttle switch and it doesn't move. Radio 5 does. I've read numerous pages and post on the APM's settings, Tx. Try them, no luck. So I think I'm going to unplug for…"
"Going to go check CLI and see if changing certain "values" helps?"
"Found another issue. You are supposed to calibrate the ESC all at once, (or) singularly by disconnecting the USB. Turn the radio on - and push the throttle stick full up. Plug the Lipo in and you should here musical notes then 2 beeps?
I tried that…"

"Hi Ultrafuge,
Yes I watched the video. I don't know if those settings for a flying wing will work for a Tricopter?
I tried switching Mode 1, Stick Set 2 on the Tx. (But it wouldn't save the setting.) So I had to select Model 2 then save Stick Set 2.…"

"Hi Ultrafuge,
LOST IN TRANSLATION. That so called manual that came with this Tx is going to be of very little help. Some of the things written in it are gibberish. For example, this is an explanation for P. MIX1 (PROGRAMA MIXING1): "Mix purpose to…"

"Nothing happen with that servo? Just twitched when it was first plugged in?"
"Hi Ultrafuge,
(Checking it one more time.) I read that your supposed to program in ACRO/Plane to be able to program the APM and fly a Tricopter, not Heli mode.
Okay, when I'm hooked into Mission Planner, and the Tx is in ACRO/Mode 1 and I move the…"

"Hi Ultrafuge,
Okay – Pins 1, 2,3,4,5 that are coming out of the receiver module on the Tricopter, are connected to Pins 1, 2,3,4,5 on the Input side of the APM/ARDUCOPTER.
On the Output side - Pins 1, 2, 4, are connected to the 3 ESC’s, Pin 7 is…"

"I forgot to add that the servo plugged into "Output pin 7" doesn't do anything either. Just twitches when power is 1st put to the APM."
"Hi Ultrafuge,
Even though the Green bars respond to the stick movements in Mission Planner. When the Trocpter is armed the motors just throttle up and down. There is no variable speed in them?DIY posting.jpgDIY posting 3.jpgDIY posting 2.jpg"

"Alright! I have the radio programmed and can toggle through all the "Flight Modes". *Arm the APM.* But the rudder servo on "Output 7" is not working? There is power going to it, because it twitches when the APM is 1st armed. But as far as getting to…"
"Hi Chris,
The radio wasn't active, it needed to be programmed. Went into Mix to set the parameters/switches. (Still have a glitch though.) Can't toggle through all Flight Modes, supposed to be able to toggle between all 6 Flight Modes, but right…"

"The APM may not be bad after all? (The radio wasn't programmed correctly.) I'll know in a while if I got this right?"
"Moving the control sticks and toggle switches on the transmitter to their limits of travel and observe the results on the radio calibration bars. Red lines will appear across the calibration bars to indicate maximum and minimum values. Move the Ch 5…"
"Oh! I had different settings before Flight Mode beside just Stabilized , Acro, RTL. etc. But nothing shows when I check in Failsafe? "
"Hi Ultrafuge,
Yes when I go into MP - Mandatory Hardware - Failsafe. The only bars that move are: Radio IN, Radio 2, Radio 3. Radio 4,5,6,7,8, those bars don't do anything, no matter what stick or switches I push. And next to them Servo/Motor OUT…"
