Over the last 1.5 years I have been building a bit of a Frankenstein 550 Hexa. I have heavily modified a 550 (Pixhawk, AMP heavy lift motors, etc) to the point where the only aspect of 550 left is the distribution plate. Even that, I don't use the…

"JoeBob,

"Be very careful with the 12v power rail. I had issues with 3s. Had to use a ubec to stabilise voltage. Pal soldering should not matter if you are on firmware above 2.0."

"How do you get the application to connect via serial? I have tried to use FTDI drivers (current), older drivers (2.08) and cannot for the life of me get the application to connect to the SSv2 to calibrate the SS. It is really annoying!"

Hi All,I was just wondering if anyone out there had issues connecting the SSv2 via PC? I can't for the life of me get the application on Windows X64 to even fire up. The x86 does fine, but then it times out waiting for the com port to respond. I see…

"My setup will directly copy what I have with a tarot T2D into Alexmos for my Nex5 via Pixhawk. I have the T14SG and converted over to SBus but I run in a different mode (4 I think!?). I have 1-8 via Sbus and 9-14(16) via the Rx. I run retracts via…"

"Quick question, what is the torque like on the conversion from hover to plane? What servo grunt do you need and what is the transition time for an emergency (I quickly need to be in hover mode) take? Amazing, I want to get a firefly but they don't…"
