Hello,
I switch my battery today from 4S 3700 mAh to 3S 5000 mAh and my Hex flies poorly. I was hoping the new battery would work better. I thought my configuration file was the default with a little tuning. I had lowered the Stabilize roll and pit

Init ArduCopter 2.8.1

Can anyone tell me what the status is on the cases for APM 2.5? I recently had a nasty crash and a bunch of the pins on my board got damaged. If I had a case this would not have happened. Also, it would be nice not to have to tape cotton to my APM

All flights have stopped! All six of my motors are pulsating with no rhyme or reason. Now I'm afraid to fly at all. I've rebooted, reloaded, recalibrated, tried different batteries and even upgraded to the latest firmware 2.8.1. Nothing se

I finally got my Hexcopter back into the air this morning. After weather delays, overheating ESC, problems with 3DR Telemetry, mounting a gimbal and being stuck in NYC for a week (yuk).
The first flight went fine, I flew for about 9 minutes.

I purchased new fully equipped Hexcopter from uDrones. I've gotten it into the air and figured out how to make the telemetry work. But I can't seem to figure out how to make the OSD and video work. I believe I first need to power both th

Not sure if this is an AR8000 receiver issue or a Skektrum DX8 issue or just me messing up on the wiring from my APM 2.5.
I've had this same issue with my quad and now I see it on my hex.
I followed Mr. Hansen's post on setting up a Spektrum DX8

Finally got my HexCopter from uDrones.
I purchased the complete package with 3DR Telemetery, OSD / FPV, Sonar, and Camera Mount.
The camera mount is for much later.
I have no idea how to get the OSD / FPV or the Telemetry to work and I've reached

Does the Quad just spin or does it fly around a waypoint? If it flies around a waypoint, is diameter of the flight path adjustable?
