"BTW Ken, how much flight time and experience do you have so far? It seems to me that most folks that get the RTF models have little to no experience. Unbox and ready to fly autonomous missions. I have always suggested getting a Radio shack or…"
"I agree totally with Oliver, it's exactly as I would and have done before. Also, what is your battery discharge rated at? 20C? There is also a setting in the mission planner for throttle mid, check that setting as well."

"Can you post a picture of your rig?"
"Euan,
Agree with all. Having just built my first quad with virtually no RC experience, this type of approach is the best way to go about it. Also, read, read, read all the post, blogs, forums, articles, watch the videos, etc. Everything about…"
