"Jeff,
Thanks for the reply.
I do have the old frame! My all up weight right now is 2kg and flying for 5 minutes with a 5000mah 3s battery. After everything cools down the battery voltage is around 11.3v.
So keeping the 12" prop and 880kv motors and…"

"Jeff,
The 3kg+ all up weight is very enticing ... the propeller you used on the 880kv motor test involved an 11x47 apc prop ... However, I have stock up on the 12x47 so the question is, do you have an opinion on the impact of using the 12 propeller…"

"Mike have you by any chance finished "fast intervalometer" modified to start taking pictures after a delay and shutting off the camera before the plane lands? Mind sharing a link to the script. Thanks.

Hi! I have a bit of a loud noise when I start-up my hexa and upon examination looks like the outer barrel of the 880kv motor may have moved up creating a slack with the internal part of the motor.Not sure if I'm making sense but if you push down the…

Does it mean if I have 3s battery that I need to put in only three resistors?If I solder in all four supplied resistors, will it not affect the voltage reading of the APM?Thanks for any insights :)

I got a minimosd and the instruction found at the wiki shows the use of an independent battery to power both the camera and video/audio transmitter.Question: Can I use the main battery powering the arducopter to provide juice to the camera and…

I have made modifications to the IMU relay area to enable the low battery indicator by following your instruction. However, I'd like to disable the modifications for now and load the most recent code v49 from the v39 I've been using for a…"
