There was a blog post a while ago of someone who made his wiring very clean by wrapping it together, so I decided to do the something cause I was very tired of all these random wiring sticking out everywhere. I also decided to move the battery to the bottom of the quad so that the quad is not so out of balance with the battery at the back.

@jeroen is that 10X5 or 10X3.8? cos im planning to replace my props with RC timer 10X3.8 here's my rig.
Well on my motors hover is around 60% of throttle and you can push your throttle only up to around 90% before the ESC's cut out that gives me 30% of throttle to manuaver around and that is not enough I need my throttle hover to be around 40 or 50% and that is what the stronger motors will give me.
Its a very nice setup, but I can immediately see that your motors is much stronger than mine, I have that 200watt DJI crap, I have ordered 400watt motors with carbon fiber props. I think the weak motors can also be a reason.
You see I think your gimbals weight is the counter part there, I do not have a that much weight in the front
What I wanted is a protector for my gopro and the section there that is left open for the gopro is for the gopro without the protective casing. My biggest issue with this frame is where they want you to put the battery, it throws of the whole balance and it ends up me pushing forward the whole time just to have a steady hover. How I have set it up now is I do not have to push forward or left or right to keep a steady hover and it is much easier if I want to look at something or go somewhere where it is tricky. See this video where I flew my quad at my friends paintball place in Irene, if you do not have steady hover this is a nightmare to guide thru the trees.
Yes I know of the PPM Conversion, I want to try it out one day.
If your in the neighbourhood give me a shout and we go flying of the river there (cvanvollenstee@gmail.com).
Kind Regards

Here is the video of todays flight with the new setup, super stable!
what I did is upload version 3.01 and erased my eeprom, that is it. Make sure there is no vibrations on the apm, the gyro gets confused very quickly. I will upload a flight I did today at 60m agl and it was dead stable. Maybe post some pics on your setup en a video of your flight.
can you share your PID settings ? I have the same frame however cant fly it
