"The 8300mah are just in 3s and I have 4500mah in 3s. All my 4s & 6s top out at 2200mah which isnt giving me the flight time but yes, I need to invest in bigger batteries
I will get there tho

"Yes. The fact that the drop increases in frequency and severity pushes me more towards the whole electrical/mechanical system and away from the APM. But nothing is overheating. Its weird"

"BTW. Dead interested to hear any theories you have to extend flight times. My end goal is 1.5hrs with a 'Normal' Rig"

"Hi James. I find that its the gusts that influence the stability with the larger the prop diameters. I've used a large number of props including 2 blade and 3 blade. In a hover, smaller props with higher RPM have move a lot less in gusty conditions…"

"Check that the Spektrum DX8 controls are working correctly with the 'Monitor Screen' I've recently had problems with the DX6i and a failing Elevator Pot causing crashes. My local model shop owner tells me that the DX8 is returned a lot. My failure…"

"Hi Nick
Living in the UK, my thoughts for what they are worth is that the props seem to give the biggest headache in wind. 
I have a slowfly long duration quad and hex and the larger the disk, even at slower rotations, the more the wind hits it.…"

"Hi Don
The thing to remember is that your Quad is pulling air through the propellers to make it move in any direction. If you want it to go faster, then it has to
a. Increase the speed with which to pull the air through
b. pitch forward to increase…"

"I dont KNOW the answer to this, but I doubt that the package will be returned.
The import duty will have been paid by Fedex and they will want that money back, and invoice to you will already have been created.
In law, once you give the package to…"

"Hey Dave

Yes I had a Lipo Alarm on. All Cells were at 3.6+ and the battery went to 23% on the meter. So should have been all good

"Well  interestingly...it WAS to do with RC Transmitter in the end but something way worse. Eventually whilst trying to calibrate the radio, the Elevator Pot failed. I went online and its a known issue with intermittent then permanent failure of the…"

"Thanks for the reply.

I'll certainly look back through the previous versions tomorrow. Is there a way of seeing which version is on the stable platform without risk of losing the only platform I have

Cheers

Ewen"

"Hi thanks for taking the time to reply

That response sounds like a known issue? How is the PPM Encoder affecting the stability in this way? Do you know where I can get a copy of v2.8? 

Sorry, last stupid question...How do I tell which version is…"
