  @Spencer

  Turns out that blue adapters do screw on black motors. Priv msg your address and ill post 1 or 2 on monday.

  Hi mP1 - unfortunately they are not. Yours have 4 holes. The black ones have only 3. Thanks very much for replying though :)

  Dear All,

  I live in Perth, Australia. This week I broke a prop adapter for a black 880kV motor - this is the piece that is screwed to the top of each motor - you attach the prop to this. It had already been weakened after I straightened it after a crash.

  I am helping out this week on a field trip with a group of botanical researchers in country WA collecting plant material. I was all set to get some habitat footage with my Y6 to help their project. I have some spare motors on order from 3dr but they will not arrive in time. I don't know any place in Oz that supplies these motors.

  This is a humble request - does anyone live in the Perth area that is able to lend me a spare prop adapter for next week? I can happily pay with a slab of beer :D

  Single sheet will block almost all signals, it will also redirect signals so you can wrap a sheet around 1/2 of your wireless router toward your workstation to boost the signal.

  Hi folks,

  I finally got to SaveTrim my Hquad yesterday and was a success.

  Then I checked for interference using Mission Planner "compassmot"
  The results:

  -at 10% throttle: 57% of mag field
  -at 50% throttle : 151% of mag field
  -at 80% throttle: 229% of mag field
  :eek:

  What materials is best to shield my APM2.5? Foam? Plastic? Wood?

  I plan to re-wire my red & black esc wires.  And plan to move APM higher on the frame.

  People, new questions and topics should be posted as a new discussion above, the comments section down here makes it very hard to keep separate topics going at once.

  I typically rely on a battery low voltage indicator which alarms at around 10%. That is where i have considered low voltage for landing. At any rate i don't typically use the low voltage fail safe. Maybe a problem long since solved but it used to not work so well and would trigger if I looked at it funny. For mapping these various fields I have been trying to optimize for a return at around 10%-15% remaining. 

    BTW we figured out the GPX.log file for overwriting the GPS info to the exif data.

  @Rob J I don't agree- 40%-50% seems way high for a fail safe initiation. In my experience my voltages don't start getting low enough to bat an eye at until 20% at most.
