"I don't want to be a killjoy, but in the UK we are limited to 400ft altitude, I assume you have similar laws. Flying FPV at your altitude is Dangerous and irresponsible. This sort of action will get FPV banned for all of us."
HiI have a ACM with a Mega 1.4 (1280) controller + oilpan, with GPS, Sonar, Magnetometer HMC5883 and a unused Mega 1.4 (2560) controller and 1 spare sonar for sale as a package. Offers around £200.00 the lot. Prefer to sell in UK, can demonstrate.
"Screenshot for the PIDs, motors are MK3638."
Here's a video of my tricopter. First attempt at some editing so it's a bit rough and it's got a bit jumpy in translation. Specification:14x4.7" APC props on 750mm centres, AUW 1700grm. Battery 4S 5A. flight time about 20 mins. ACM running…
The Tricopter yaw problem has been on the forum for months, and as fas as I can see it has not been resolved. There is a massive deadband on the yaw servo so that yaw control is like slamming a barn door, smooth control is impossible. A solution was…
"mm2, I take Sebastians point, although it's not that simple for people unfamiliar with software hacks and Mosfets, buffering etc and just want a simple plug and play unit. Don't forget, lots of Multirotors don't have the benefits of a ACM. So I'm…"
"I by my LED strips in the UK from Robotbirds or Giantcod, about £10 metre."

Can I use programmers notepad to edit pde.files, I'm trying to change the deadband value in the radio.pde.
Hi I use a Canon Ixus 130 for HD Video on my Tricopter. Without any anti vibration measures the Video is a blurry mess, I've had to build a fairly elaborate camera mount to get rid of the vibration. The Antishake facility on the camera makes no…
"Can anybody help with this ?"
"Hi Greg
I've always used AXI motors they are the best but expensive, they are well made, reliable and efficient. However, I have recently switched over to Pulso motors, they are AXI rip-offs , they are equally well made and work exactly the same.…"

"I would be weary of the FrSky receiver, I used a 8 channel unit and FrSky tx unit in my Futaba T9CP. I had lots of problems, flips and crashes. Investigating you could see the ACM outputs doing weird things. I went back to Futaba 35mHz and…"
I downloaded 2.0.39 TRI using the Mission planner, originally I thought the Accelerometers were not working. but now it seems that all accels and gyro's are reversed.From the Wiki the Tri configuration looking from the back is motor 1 front right,…
"Forgot to mention, the Stab default pids are P=4.0 l=0.025 and Imax=1000 ? the Stab D value in the data settings column is 0 ?"
