Hi everyone. Flew for three minutes. Althold loiter worked fine. After that when I switched to either the copter began to ascend. Vibration control is excellent. Any suggestions. Thanks Roman

Just wondering if anyone has successfully used the ch 6 tuning function and how the servo points were set up to make it work. Obviously  ch 6 on the Apm 2.5, but ch 8, the rotary knob on the DX8. Thanks Roman

Tuning my quad was a challenging experience but a good one. It made me familiar with the settings and if I build another quad or hex or x8 it will so much simpler once we get familiar with what the rates do. A great learning experience. Now for two…
