"This analogy sums it up pretty nicely. I bought a phantom 4 after about 4 years of building apm and pixhawk-based craft. My main pixhawk craft hasn't left the shelf since I got the P4. The HD video range of lightbridge is truly impressive. …"
"I suspect you will find the lack of a gyroscope and barometer to be a problem. Most full FCs these days are 10 axis."
"I feel like the need to hire a third party, just to operate an inexpensive, easy-to-use piece of equipment, only to meet a government regulation is currently preventing this from taking off.
On another note, one could make the case that a…"

"Well done Eliot. I know there's a lot more undocumented use going on in construction than people are willing to talk about publicly. Construction folks are generally very risk and liability adverse when it comes to things like this.

"Thanks Eliot, confimed you can get through checkout without a cc number.
Mario, I don't think it would be appropriate to repost it here since it's certainly copyrighted but available free.

"Eliot - I'd like to read this, but don't think I should need to provide a credit card number. The site is requiring one even though the fee is $0. Can you post another link or send me a copy directly?"
"Tim - This log shows entering loiter mode only twice, the first time for about one second, and the second time for about 4.6 seconds. It might be slightly more helpful if you can enable RCIN logging by changing your LOG_BITMASK value from 864 to…"

"Thanks for doing/posting this. There's lots of new opportunities for compoent layout with that configuration.."
"Paul do you possibly have something connected to (supplying power to) USB port on the pixhawk? Battery failsafe won't trigger if the USB is connected."
"Alex - sorry if I missed this earlier in the thread, but are you using the latest version of MP? There was an issue that came up around -rc4 with the version of MP out at that time that was reporting 'false' EKF errors. As far as I know, everyone…"
"Well, three props were off the craft after the crash. Two had broken posts on the prop adapter, and one was just removed from an intact post, spinner nut and prop on the ground nearby and undamaged. Prop adapter post was not bent. I had assumed…"
"Thanks Rob. I'm accepting at this point that a loose spinner nut was probably the culprit

"Thanks guys; I think the most likely explanation at this point is a loose spinner nut, not software.
One of the props that was off after the crash had an intact adapter, spinner nut also intact but detached. I initially attributed this to the motor…"

"As as each member in a pair is applying thrust and torque in the same direction as its twin."
"Crash on rc4 - possible gyro issue?
I'm posting this log here in case it's useful, as there's been some gyro issues mentioned in Rc4, and the logs here show an anomaly in IMU.GyrZ before anything else appeared to go wrong. This is a 750-sized Y6…"
