"Huh. Thanks.
Guess when battery goes low it goes low quick cause when I saw it around 21 on my phone is when I went to disable autotune and land, maybe coulda been a delay on the telemetry link or something. Live and learn I guess."

"Hey man.
Yea I just made a post about a similar issue I had today with hexacopter. Saw battery voltage starting to get low while it was autotuning yaw after finishing roll and pitch so figured I better cancel autotune and land. Switched to…"

Hey All.So I built a large hexacopter last year with a Sony Nex-6 in 3 axis gimbal with a pixhawk as the controller. It sat over the winter and I got it out the other day and updated / installed new firmware etc. I took it out today and after making…
"I was having an issue like this after my hexacopter with pixhawk sat through the winter and I got it out the other day to update it / set it up etc. I formatted the micro sd card on my pc and put it back in the pixhawk, ejected / reinserted a couple…"
"Yea no. I guess they had some more delays because I still haven't received the new controller I preordered. For now my vtail is sitting till the new controller ships."
"I only ever put a pixhawk on it. I didn't have super high expectations since it wasn't officially supported / only recently supported. I actually bought the pixhawk for a hexacopter I'm working on but thought I would try it on the vtail when I saw…"
"Kool. I haven't looked at the footage yet to see if I captured it (just set my cell on it's side and hit record) but I did fly a bit more on the vtail 500 and pixhawk and it flys fine except for giving it yaw. Giving it any yaw even just a little…"
"You know I actually only flew it once. The short legs was an issue with the rear props hitting into the grass which prompted me to get it up higher. The first time I flew it I had to swap the 2 and 4 motor connections to get it to fly right but it…"
"Well no tips but can verify what your seeing I guess.
I have a lynxmotion vtail 500 but i modified it (added longer legs). I was trying to fly it after extending the legs and adding a gopro / gimbal. I could take off and hover a bit but not…"

"Had to reverse the servo wires going to the pixhawk, swap connectors 2 and 4. At the time I contacted the guy who submitted the vtail config for inclusion into arducopter software and he said he was pretty sure he had it right but the dev flipped…"
"There is a vtail option, they just haven't bothered to add it to the gui. If you use latest beta 3.2+ iirc then you set frame type to "4" and it's a basic vtail configuration. I was able to get my lynx motion vtail 500 flying with it pretty well…"
"I was able to get my V-tail 500 flying with pixhawk because there is now a frame type "4" aka v-tail preset basic configuration. The only problem I had was having to reverse motors 2 and 4 the back ones because it wouldn't work the other way around…"
"Previously I was able to tick the "enable sonar" box just fine for my pixhawk with a mb1240 hooked up to the 3.3v port, now it's not letting me. I go to the sonar under optional hardware in mission planner and it won't let me check the box or select…"
"Just got a quick clip but managed to do some flying with my Vtail 500 and pixhawk. Will do a better one sooner or later. Was a bit windy / some gusts and this was just a fresh flash of 3.2-RC2 and recalibrated accel but no tuning whatsoever. It did…"
"I've got a Pixhawk on my Lynxmotion Vtail 500. I was taking off and it was spinning like crazy, had to reverse the back motors connection 2 and 4. I was able to take off twice and hover a bit before drifting and letting off throttle and catching /…"
"Update: I got in touch with the guy who added the vtail code into arducopter I guess. He sent me a link to the request to get it in to master or what not. From everything I found on the subject I had the motors how they should be but then he…"
