Please tell us a bit about your UAV interest
Started with a WooKongM FC for work and after some research found the APM 2 here, so I ordered it and a bunch of other stuff lol.

"Did you ever figure this out? I've just run into the same problem on all my computers. Thanks!"
"It's a tricky thing getting good flight times and stability. They definitely don't play well together. My 1300mm X8 is a handful to get over 30min. Big props lead to all kinds of problems."
"Or you could buy this one : )hex.png"
"Oh man, I asked about your drivers lol! That's awesome it's working now."
"Any headway with the temperature monitoring? I'm starting to fly in below 0°C. I'm keeping the batteries in a thermostatically controlled case until flight and wrapped in insulation. But it would be nice to know if the pack temp are below…"
"Hey Ronny, you ever have the wobble show up again? I'm getting instability at anything over 5m/s. My setup is pretty much exactly like yours. I put the batteries on the bottom as well, but it's not by choice, I needed to mount a GNSS antenna on…"
"I presume the hover throttle being 3.4rc5 would have been a learned parameter. As for the minimum throttle setting at 25%, I never actually set it. Just did the usual radio calibration. Maybe I should reset all the parameters and start again.…"
"I would have thought the frame pretty stiff. It's a Foxtech D130 with 30mm booms. I also added an cross stiffener to make it even more rigid. This frame has been used a lot with DJI A3's and WooKong AP. But not many flying a pixhawk. Maybe give…"
"This is what's supposed to be attached to the X8... I think if I saw the X8 freak out in forward flight like it did with this attached I'd have a heat attack! Again, I really appreciate you looking at this. The vibration must be some lower…"
"Hi Leonard,
Maybe starting with a better manual tune would help. I saw somewhere (youtube) that you stated by putting D on a rotary know and adjusting until an oscillation. Then the same for P (I=P) and finally stabilize. I presume backing off a…"

"You saw the picture of this X8? Pretty frustrating working with this the last few days, but that made me laugh. Image that spinning around all angry on a rope lol!

"Went out again for another AT, but this time at .05 aggr setting. Not very good. hovers ok, but start moving and it get pretty unstable. During the AT near the end of the pitch step it lost control for a bit but recovered.
Log from today's AT at…"

"Here's the two autotune attempts. The first one seems to go ok, but with these pid's it still flies like a dog lol. The second attempt simply wouldn't start. Never had that happen before.…"
"Hi Leonard,
Here's the link:

Tuning is pretty crazy. A lot of pitching in forward flight. Enough to almost send it to the ground but it recovered later in the loiter part of…"

"Ok, now I know why you specified 4 minutes. It takes forever to download. I'll get it up pretty quick I also did another AT at .075 and .085. I'll post links to those as well if you want them"
"Thanks Leonard! I'm your guy for testing big copters and AT lol!"
