"Hi, Thanks Oliver.
No prop failure. Two props where broken and leftovers where found under the quad. If props would have broken mid air I would not have found all pieces. :-)
I had just disabled vibration logging as it was just withing acceptable…"

Hi,I was testing out Circle mode and it started well, but ended in the worst possible way. Quad dropped like a rock :-/Events:1. Set Circle Radius 0 and rate to something like 20. Did a few circles. No problem. Landed.2. Switched battery. Attached…
"Hi,
Is the motor spin directions and prop orientation same on V setup as with X setup? Or is it as in the H setup which is different from X?"

"To continue on the above...
x3 0.1" pins from HK both female and male.
This guy is good to those M3 bolts.
I store my batteries in a Cognac metal box for safety. Its a good reason to buy one of the more expensive bottles..."

"0.1" crimp pins and connector housings!!!
One of my best decisions was to buy at least one of each from the 2 first pages of there search results.
I use basic cable strippers and pliers to crimp the pins to cable. It almost always works... :-) If…"

"Hi John,
Sounds like a good theory as I remember at least once plugging in USB with RX connected. Anyhow, it works well on another output."

"Looks great! Impressive how "clean" you got the arms.
I see you have a deans connector for the battery. Just my two cents but I had a deans loose contact just enough to reboot the APM and result in a crash. If I was you I would switch to XT60."

"+1 on getting shipping prices to an acceptable level"
"Even if the flight was basically a failure I took my first ortho images on this flight which turned out ok. :-) "
Hi gurus!Just did a flight in -17C. The quad stopped listening to me...Take the quad from indoor temps to outdoor -17C. Power up right away.Takeoff in STAB. Everything works.Some seconds later ALTHOLDSome seconds later LOITER. All well so far.Slow…
"I have my flap servos connected directly to the RC receiver. So the APM is not involved in operating the flaps at all.
What TX are you using?
How many channels do you have on your RX?"

Hi all!I updated from APM1 to APM2.6 and Output5 seems fried or something on my brand new board. I want to use the output for a camera gimbal and any servo I connect to this pin buzzes like crazy. All other outputs work as expected. I also tried…
Hi all,This is my hack on an APM1. As i understand the telemetry this should be ok. So now i have 4 rows of pins that I can connect to telemetry, OSD, IOboard and who knows what else. This worked great with telemetry and OSD for a while but now…
