Hello,
It's been awhile since I've played around with traditional helicopter and multi-copters with pixhawk.
I recently got a wild hair to put the pixhawk onto a Stryker RC plane.
Question:
1. Does anyone have this setup or something similar?
2. Can you

Where should I try to sell it?
Thank you!

Curious if the Pixhawk can only support servos at 1520μs? When I look at most tail servos they are usually running at 760μs. Will the Pixhawk support 760μs? If not what Tail servo would you suggest? 900 size machine.

Here are my params for a Trex 550 stretched to a 700 running 1500 RPMs.
A little confused on setup.
1) Can I run Helicopter mode H1 on the my transmitter?
I like the menu options with Helicopter mode on my transmitter rather than Airplane mode.
2) Hooking up the ESC to the Pixhawk channel 8 output.
There is no "Mode Set 1

Read more…I have a 3 axis gimbal that I am trying to integrate on my Helicopter not Multi-Rotor. I figured I would come to this forum discussion because you guys know how this might work.
My Problem is I am running into not having enough channels to work with.

I built a helicopter with 900mm blades. The rotor speed is around 1150 RPM. My problem is I am having a hard time getting the helicopter to hover correctly in Loiter Mode.
I was thinking maybe due to the slow head speed that the 9
