"The PPM encoder works like a dream on my Air Titan. DX9 with AR 8000 twin satellites."
"I do use the PPM Encoder btw"
"I have an AR 8000 with two satellites. One plugs into the Hawk the other is connected to the AR 8000 in standard fashion and I've had no problems."
"If you have the telem module connected you have to power from the flight battery and USB simultaneously. USB alone won't provide enough power."
"A few bad apples. I hate seeing this stuff"
"I run the 3DR module on my 5S Air Titan with Pixhawk with no problems."
"Sounds like your pitch may need to be reversed in radio calibration."
"Hit the deck this afternoon with my X8 during my APM maiden from the death roll. I was flying in stabilize, LOS and dropped airspeed during a high turn. My fault entirely. My CG is at the manufacturers recommended but I think I may shift it forward…"
"Plug a ubec into the rc in on pixhawk. The lead from ppm encoder goes to sbus on hawk. I had the safe issue"
"Is there a particular reason behind using a wing in your design? A polyhedral high wing design is far more forgiving and efficient. The natural self-leveling characteristics would require less power for a high endurance craft to maintain stable…"
"Are you sure the plane isn't diving in order to gain airspeed? I had a similar problem in that my AUTO TUNE minimum airspeed setting was too high, therefore the plane would dive for the ground when I flipped into AT in order to gain the minimum…"
"APM and Pixhawk can fly remarkably well out of the box as long as all of your control surfaces are aligned and level and your inputs are correct, you have proper CG and you have performed good compass and accel calibrations. Auto Tune is your friend…"
"I have one and I really love it. It's rugged and flies like a dream. I run 2 6S 8000's and one 3S 8000 for electronics. I actually have two of the planes, one has been modified as a true taildragger by removing the nose wheel and moving the main…"
