Hello can anyone help just setting up my Hex with F/W 3.2.1 and I noticed this difference in outputs to the motors, the screenshots were without props on a flat surface.Am I just worried about nothing or is there a tuning issue? 100.JPG50.JPG
"Hello will this work with the TTL 3DRobotics 3DR Radio Telemetry Kit 433Mhz ie in parallel so you can run the mission planer at the same time?
If so how would I do this?

"I guess replacing the camera with a gun would be OK"
"Hi Florian
I would be interested in what happens when you fill in your Quads stats into this calculation sheet, it's not perfect but a fair guide on where you may be going wrong on weight vs power, just a thought :-)…"

"I think everyone has it wrong, I understand the picture showing the first Human attaching it directly to his body (what part is unclear) to his central nervous system for real-time control, sorry to the Drones development team for all the hard work…"
"Hi Luc
I had a simalar problem to you with the APM 2 it was to do with the 6 pins not soldering the connectors properly on the top GPS board (my fault), after I had re-done the connectors all worked fine.

I noticed this as a quick way of overcoming any line interference that might cause issues with any of the MaxSonar sensor.http://www.maxbotix.com/tutorials.htm#New_Flash_UAV_and_Mobile_Robo...
"Hi Gerry
I am about to do a very similar thing to you except I was going to use a OPTO ESC which gets around any potential noise issues but answer your question do not connect the return (if your ESC has a BEC) shown in your diagram"

Can any one say if there is any advantage of shifting the mounting the motors 180 Degs from where they are at the moment, I appreciate a change of prop is required but I have seen a few Quads / Hex's with this config and they explain that it's…
"If you were using the 5S 5000 mAh in you tests with the 880KV motors did you use a different ESC than the standard 20A 2-4 LiPO that ships (ArduCopter ESC 20 Amp) ?"
"0.16 pounds = 72.6 grams: 20g * 4 = 100g savings if using CF, so does a Aluminium Copter win the day on cost performance?"
"Can I ask a fairly simple question regarding the merits of all Carbon Fibre vs Aluminium in Quads, Hex's etc
I appreciate cost and weight would be amongst them but for example is durability and transmission of vibration factors in this?"

"Hi Chris
You make a good point but for most passenger and military aircraft today do not rely on just one GPS feed, they will take typically 3 feeds (a voting sytem) and one of them will be a Inertial Navigation System (aka Ring Laser Gyro RLG), the…"
