Thank you. It is working now.

This PNP version, with Pixhawk, buzzer, safety button, gps module, telemetry and receiver weights 1.384 g.

Piwhawk support only ppm. As I see in picture, you didn't connect it to ppm.
You have to put the cable on ppm which is on ch1/ppm. You don't specify which radio you are using and you have to set ppm option on your radio.

Could you share total weight without camera ?

Hello guys,

I end up buying one of these wings, that I’ll be using for surveying. As long as this is my first build, I’ve been reading a lot about the RC world in order to gather enough information for this project.

I am building this plane using a Pixhawk 2.4.8, purchased from Banggood.

I have already connected all components I will be using to the board and I have flashed it with the latest firmware via Mission Planner. Everything seems ok.

Although, I’m having a hard time to get my transmiter speaking with the Pixhawk. My set up, as it sits now, is shown in picture and video attached.The receiver is a FlySky IA6B and it's bounded with the transmiter.

When I connect the board into Mission Planer, I have no radio readings. All channels bars are completely gray, no green bar are
shown. What I am missing here? I've tryeded to connect them via usb cable and by the telemetry, without sucess .

Another question I have it's relative to the ESC and servos connections. Do I have to remove the red wire from mine ESC to connect it to output ports? And servos's ones?

Really appreciate any help.

Thank you, it's very heavy for a 1200mm wingspan !
An fx61 + esc + motor + pixhawk + servo + power module + telemetry + gps is aroubd 1kg

The weight of Skywalker X5PRO PNP version is about 1.38KG.

But what is the most important is to get the weight of the foam itself. People interested in this kind of frame would like to make a lightweight platform like parrot disco. You just put the flying weight which is not intersting with your setup for this kind of frame.

For 1800 - 2500kg AUW, I will go to another platform like 1500-1600mm wingspan (For example : fx-61 or X6). What is the weight of the frame itself ?
