About Me:
Long time RC'r and FPV'r Live in Texas, grew up in Florida, I'm also an EDF enthusiast with lots of EDF aircraft and many years of radio control experience.
Please tell us a bit about your UAV interest
I like the feeling of flying like a bird that you get when doing FPV. I guess it is a lot like flying a full scale aircraft. I also love how technical and complex our "birds' are Not for everybody for sure!

"I understand what you are saying about hover throttle, I recently took off a heavy camera and gimble and replaced it with a simple GoPro and Tarot 2D. I hadn't changed the hover throttle accordingly..
I see the importance now..

"Hi Scott
What you describe does sound like what is happening to me. On arming, and at first spinup, It sometimes jumps into the air before I am ready, or it may tip over immediately on arming.
There is that critical moment when the attitude of…"

"Luis, are the brownouts that you are referring to the red spikes downwards? I seem to have always seen these, so much that I thought maybe it is just a sensor glitch, they are never more than a sharp spike.
Also, I know that other than the…"

"I had a very violent crash today while flying my 750 size quad. I am currently using 3.3rc8 on this one.
I have flown it about 3 times on this firmware and it was very stable. The wind conditions were light and variable.

"I recently flashed the 3.3rc8 and it has been working great for me. I had some tip overs however because my landing gear were to long and wobbly.
No that is corrected.
the propeller tips were a little bit chipped and worn though and I wondered…"

"I saw that the 3.3rc8 was out this morning so I couldn't resist, I loaded it and went to my best testing grounds to see how it went.
I had just loaded 3.3rc7 a few days back and it worked well. On the rc 7 I was unable to test the GPS dependent…"

"I just flashed one of my multi rotors with 3.3r7 and I have no bad behaviors.. I previously had instability in the Z axis, In stable mode, I have to work the stick to maintain altitude, and in alt hold, it was either rising or descending until i…"
I recently installed quick release prop adapters on two of my Multirotors.they both used T-Motor motors with flat hub props that have three bolts allowing the prop to be bolted down to the bell.The adapters have two parts, one the bolts to the bell,…
"I have an odd problem after loading rc7. I have a quad with a QAV550 frame, has 12 inch props, runs 6S with 380KV Tmotor's and have never gotten it to fly with a solid stability. If there is no wind, it flew pretty good, but I have been waiting…"
"Hi Leonard
I seem to have a problem initiating the auto tune mode.
ON a great calm morning yesterday, I tried to do the auto-tune.
I have a switch assigned in the setup to use RC 7 and confirm in the radio setup that for channel 7, that it is going…"

"Thanks a much Leonardthall
After reading all that, I am reconsidering, using the auto-tune might be the way to go.
I have set the switch before to do an auto-tune and it seemed to be right, but when I went into the air and used the switch, it didn't…"

"I am running 12-5 props.. I haven't done auto-tune, it is always windy it seems when I have the time and chance.
I like manual, because If I can learn that, It would be valuable knowledge.
Thanks

"PID Help..?
I updated the firmware on my QAV 540 to 3.3rc5 and did my first test flight yesterday. I like the audio tones for feedback that have been added and the flight was ok, the PosHold was very steady on 11 SATS with a HDOP between 1.9…"
