I am worried that the pwm values of each mode on channel 5 may be too close together. This may be the cause of my hexa getting its knickers in a twist when changing modes.
The six values are 1081 - 1265 - 1490 - 1580 - 1690 - 1780
I don't want to bl
Just had my third major crash in two weeks. This time took out 4 props and my receiver ....
I think that I at last understand the problem.
I have been really keen to use RTL and up to and including .37 it has been unusable for me. The model would f

When switching in to loiter the hexa moves in increasingly larger circles before I take back control. I'm sure PID tunin
Read more…I have noticed from 2.0.30 onwards (could be earlier) when I switch to Loiter or RTL and then back to simple mode, the front of the Hexa is no longer the front. - Anyone else have this problem?
Read more…I flew my Hexa this evening on 2.0.29 and other than RTL and loiter issues (suspect major PID tuning is required) the bird flew great.
Got back home and updated to 2.0.30 - now I have to hold full left yaw to stop it rotating to the right and I can't

I have run radio setup again and it stays the same. How can I change my radio settings????

This hasn't been a problem but I am now trying to use 2.0.25 and I have major issues.

I have soldered my filter pads ..... but wondered if I also need to add a felt pad to the baro as I have the IMU inside a plastic case mounted on the top of my Hexa.. It isn't sealed as a small part of the base is cut away for the wires to

I am currently using 2 - 3S 2200 Mah (In parallel) li-po batteries on my hexa which give me about 7.5 minutes of flight time.
I have tried using a 4S - 5000 mah li-po but flight time was very short and the battery became very hot. When checki

I am Soooooo pleased with my latest flights on the latest code (just disabled sonar and all height hold now works :)) that I am going to re-mount my camera.
Does the code work for stabilization??? In Ardupirates I would use dip switch 2 etc

Can anyone tell me how to use Tx channel 7 to calibrate my throttle?
I have seen a couple of references to this but have not seen any instructions on how to do it. Do I need to connect channel 7 output from the receiver or is it a mix on the

Took a bad tumble with my home brew Hexa yesterday. I was flying 2.023 and I let the Hexa have its head when testing RTL - big mistake. 5 props and a couple of broken bolts.
All now fixed and upgraded from M3 to M4 bolts much beefier....

Read more…I'm not sure if this issue is limited to the hexa install but when I try and adjust the yaw in flight, some of the motors accelerate making my hexa pitch to the side and out of level flight.
I understand that the guys will be improving the hexa code
