"Thanks Rob. Yes it is a pity the 9XE did not have the spring loaded mechanism built into both stick like the 9X. As a long user of tray radios going all the way back to the mid 80is with the Graupner 6014 series. Over the last 7-8 years I have also…"

"Thanks again Leonard. I will have to set up a test rig to explore the 3.3FW and the spring loaded throttle options.
Is there any work around or options, for this high vibration scenario, without having the Stabilize mode available?"

"Thanks for fast answering Leonard, and that is good to hear.
I fell that with the spring loaded throttle, holding constant altitude becomes easier and more consistent, at least for our use. In addition you should not have any catastrophic changes in…"

"To my post above I would also like ad a big thanks to the developers and testers working on the Arducopter project. I am really looking forward test the new 3.3FW on one of my test platforms :) "

"I posted over in the rcgroups thread on a similar discussion about falling out of the sky while changing modes, but got no replies. I feel It's also in line with the recent discussion here.
I am the Technical Supervisor for the Tromsø Red Cross RPAS…"

"With the numbers crunched by the engineer I guess you should be ok. Please keep us updated when you start testing the system."

"I am not thinking about the spec of the components but the cross section of the power-rails on the card it self. Think of it; even at 180A and 6 cells you are generating close to 4KW, all going through the Attopilot card. Doubbe that for 360A!"

"I would be very cautious about pulling 360A through the little Attopilot board even if the components theoretically can handle it. Even 180A is high, at least for an extended time if you ask me."
