"Just got back from my first ever "real" flight. Perfect! I've mapped the whole thing as a X-frame instead of a reversed H, did the auto tune, stable as a rock, had only to compensate for light wind (I was on a plateau, so a constant current). Now…"
Hello,I have an ARF Quanum Venture on which I've put an APM 2.6 FC with a 3DR telemetry and MAVLink OSD. The problem I have is that, when telemetry is connected, I cannot rise the throttle level above 10-12%, depending on the flight mode. Even with…
"Update 2: Everything seems to run well, I can arm it but the OSD won't update ever!
Tried the wiring, seems to be fine, tried the parameters, no luck at all.
Crazy!"
"OK, so an update:
I've mounted everything on, I do have video from FPV camera, I can see the OSD but it won't update the data.
I can arm the motors directly but not when connected to PC or tablet (either via USB cable or telemetry module).
When I…"
"About 220 mm, nacelle to nacelle, assuming it's one piece. I have the ARF version so the arms are already mounted. Not sure how much tube goes inside the nacelle."
"Ok, I got it now.
I've only measured in one direction, more or less parallel with the axis.
I'll check it again tonight in vertical direction to see if it's oval instead. "
"Thanks for the info, it's useful to know, in case I'll need to replace them.
I'm planning to buy a frame kit from EU warehouse for spare parts, if necessary, but it's good to have alternatives."
"Hello Andy,
If it won't be too much trouble, can I ask you about some pictures?
I'm especially interested in APM placement (using the existing plate, upside down, or directly onto the lower hull?), RX receiver placement (it doesn't seem to fit in…"
"Hello,
I'll try to locate a measure gauge (don't know the English word) and let you know.
In the meantime: can the APM be mounted upside down?
And second, is it possible to power up the camera via the transmitter?"
"A short update: finally got the drone itself, all looks good, I'm planning to start the assembly in the weekend, I'll receive the FPV received/monitor by then too, it's still in customs in Bucharest.
Any suggestions on where to place the telemetry…"
"No problem, it's not urgent.
Assuming all things will arrive in good order and in a timely fashion I'm planning to do the assembling somewhere mid next month. Time permitting, that is, since I'm busy at the office these days too."
"Hello again!
Could I bother you by asking some photos of your setup?
I'm particular interested about the FPV powering scheme.
I've ordered the parts from your links, also the OSD is included in the bundle I've ordered with the APM module, full combo…"
