Some types of aerostructures are not RF transparent at 2.4GHz, and some aircraft designs use internal RF shielding. Both types require externally mounted RC antennas. We are fabricating an aircraft using carbon fiber aerostructures that are not RF…
"Hi Ward, We host in person drone building workshops -- da Vinci Build a Drone Workshops -- and we have done similar Workshops virtually with a local host such as a High School science teacher. We have even done some entirely virtual workshops in…"
"The current handling of your system is determined by your gauge of wire. There are many types of battery connectors other than the XT series. Select a connector with diameter slightly larger than your wire. If your wire slips into the solder cup…"
Endangered Snow Leopards and their habitat are under threat, KwF to use drones to protect these elusive cats of the HimalayasFor more than a decade, Kashmir World Foundation (KwF) has been operating aircraft around the world protecting endangered…
"Hi Nick, You could work with an aircraft as small as an F450 or fixed wing as small as Nano Talon. Smaller the better for learning. Easy to pack, easy to setup, and all relatively safe. If you want to learn how to integrate DroneKit, OpenCV,…"
"Please share the cad files so others can try and/or adapt!"
"Depends on whether you are a photographer and want something to lift your camera, or you want to work with your copter and camera. If you want to work a bit, you might try and F450 frame built copters. They are similar to the Phantom, but much more…"
"Hi Escobar .. People recommend what they find most useful, and for many people Telem1 is for telemetry and Telem2 is for companion computer .. The connection works just as well with USB, with a connection string that is identical for all companion…"
"HI Ashish .. You can "tune" ESCs via a BlHeli parameter set, but normally that would not be required to operate your quad .. Also flight controller parameter tuning should not be required for you to operate your quad. Go ahead and fly using all…"
"Hi Ashish ... it might be easier to ask questions by sending an email to info@KashmirWorldFoundation.org or Ronald@KashmirWorldFoundation.org
The "RC" port is the PPM RC input and the "SB" port is the PPM output. Zener diode is not required because…"

"Hi Ashish,
If you have Simon-K ESCs you will only be able to calibrate throttle. If you have BLHeli ESCs you will be able to change many parameters. For your application both options are fine.
For multicopters it is better to use ESCs that do not…"

"Hi Ashish,
I looks like you have a good wiring scheme.
If your power module did not come with your flight controller, check the pin order on the six pint connector as these are not always "standard." The existence of a red wire on an ESC does not…"

"Hi Dan. EMAX ESCs work just fine with Pixhawk flight controllers. It used to be that most people beginning with Pixhawk flight controllers did so with significant background with RC systems. Not so much anymore, so you may need some additional…"
"I took a quick look at the Flitetest forum. The posters attributed failures to hardware that were their failures to understand their hardware and firmware. For example the poster about Pixhawk 2.4.7 rail voltage did not have a clue as to what sets…"
