About Me:
Flying RC since 1970. Brand new to multicopter. Have built many Radios, receivers, servos, back in the day ( when my eyesight was a bitt better)in the 70's and 80's. I go back to Heathkits, Ace, Royal Receivers, Kraft, ProLine, and had my first Futaba radio when they were a new thing. Fly planes and dabbled with helicopters and pre-built multicopters. Don't remember when I last purchased a pre built PC, but beyond learning the basics of BASIC am not a programmer. My favorite programming language is solder!
Please tell us a bit about your UAV interest
General hobby use, I just like the idea of automatic stabilization and autonomous flight, a dream when I started into RC. Hell, when I started a good day was 3 flights without a crash!
Hometown:
Buffalo, Wyoming ( A transplant from North East Ohio )

"This design looks really great. Have you considered if the carrier board case could have mounting hole tabs added? I really hate double side tape holding things together on my aircraft. If the "cube" really has internal vibration protection…"
"Not sure if this is a different issue, or same that Randy has already seen, ( He mentioned Master having this problem), but I have not been able to get any APM software to load on my Pixracer using QGroundcontrol or Mission Planner, including using…"
"They removed many of the CLI functions in 3.2 firmware. You can load 3.1.5 if you want to test as you used to do. But when you load 3.2 you will have to redo some calibrations."
"That is just a warning about upgrading to that version and the need to re do the calibration. See Note 2 in red in top post from Randy."
"That is just the ID of the Controller. It should go away in a few seconds. This started to appear in the last few MP versions."
