"I'm sorry there's not a lot of information here. In a very short order of time I came to realize that the CX-20 - at least the one I had - was pretty much junk. I eventually ended up with a DJI 450 flamewheel frame, APM 2.8 clone, Flysky…"
"BEFORE YOU FLY!
So you get your CX-20/Nova and you are eager to fly it. You plug the battery in and wait patiently and finally run out to fly it....and it crashes horribly or flies away....
This happens a lot more than it should. Quality control is…"

"Here's a site that's already started the aggregation of the information on the CX-20. LOTS of into here.

"After my first crash where where it just lost a prop, flipped over and flew into the ground, this site was EXTREMELY valuable getting humpty dumpty back together again.

"This is an inspiring video. Mods done to the CX20 to allow 6 mile flights. :-)

"FACTORY PARAMETERS!
In case you've got your parameters all screwed up, this can be invaluable. Just unzip it and then in the advanced parameters section of Mission Planner you can click on "upload" and write all of the factory parameters to the file…"

"Here's some information from BangGood that solves something I've seen a lot of people puzzled over.

"Yeah. I have some links on that I'm going to post on that shortly.
As to the specific questions, that tilting at takeoff is definitely a known problem and that video often fixes it assuming the problem isn't with something being loose on the inside.…"

So I totally dropped the ball on this. It's been an absurd time since I opened this forum but I guess I should do something with it. lolRight now I'm going to go through the various resources I've found on the CX-20/Nova and post them all here. I…
"I think this all just depends on the intent. As a camera platform it could be beautiful with nice, slow, graceful movements, no jerking around. I nice, consistent panning and zooming. Can't think of much else use for it. It would get quite boring…"
"Did you get this figured out? I can't get my switches to work right. By default, channel 5 was the VRA knob. I can point channel 5 to a specific switch like SWC but that only gives me 3 flight modes. Channel 6 is tied up- probably with all the…"
So I learned a valuable lesson a few weeks ago. ALWAYS DO A PRE-FLIGHT CHECK! Even if you just landed and go to take off again. In my case, I had a prop loose or something and never checked after one successful flight. I had tweaked some of the…
This is the same exact product as the Quanum NovaThere have been different iterations with different compasses and GPS units.There are 2 other models that are not compatible with Mission PlannerThe "Open Source Model" is what you want. It appears…
"I've been going through the same thing with the same suggested fixes but even alt hold isn't reliable. It's not "toilet bowling" or anything regular. It's all seemingly random. Kind of like my daughter when she was 2. Sometimes it will just hover at…"
"Interesting. Thanks for posting the fix. I had the same problem but found a throttle limit sitting at 100 that should have been at 1000.

"Hey. I just wanted to let you know that I just found this:

It's the 3.1.6 build. I think I read somewhere that 3.2 had some flaws. On the site, 3.2.1 is listed as the final build for APM 2.X controllers. But…"
