"fred... obviously only specific board revisions are affected. Most Pixhawks work fine with the latest software unless you have bad luck and have one of those intermediate board revisions (2.3, 2.4, 2.4.3, 2.4.5... don't know for sure yet which…"

"@McCray: Problem with ceramic bearings is: Their specs only allow very low RPMs (about 2000-5000rpms - that is way to low for a multicopter) + they are expansive like hell + it is difficult to get very small ones e.g. for motors in the 220x class.…"

I am also interested in this project very much. As of now I've simulated the Easystar with Aerofly Deluxe but the simulation is not that precise. The simulation-engine is obviously not that good. Looking forward to do sime testflights…"
