I noticed that too. Hopefully someone from XAircraft will pop in and tell us how to find out what the gains are set to. I haven't had a lot of time to play around with it all so I'm still learning.

I just put my first SuperX on a Droidworx XM6 last night. I had the same exact problem as you describe. Then I noticed that I had the remote gain control assigned to a channel that was providing input. I turned that down and the double red (which I think indicates an error condition) stopped. So...

Is anyone here a member? Sounds like a good idea to me. Noticed this recent mention of them on DIYDrones.

I haven't looked at your video but if you heard a 'screeching' sound I'd bet your ESCs are losing sync with the motors. I know with the Pixhawk and ESCs flashed with SimonK software using larger motors this has been an issue as well. Given others here seem to think it's ESCs as well I think that...

Unfortunately my APM/Pixhawk adventures have come to an end. After many crashes and poor experiences across six different copters the final straw was a developer essentially calling me stupid and having a rant at me. I'm sure he will show up here to continue that and defend his POV but I'm going...

Well, what I consider the _real_ issue here is that no one will ever know if the issue is software or not because it can't be inspected and DJI won't discuss the issue. It's those factors that keep me from buying their products as I just won't trust expensive equipment to a flight controller...

Looks like there are several for sale in the Classifieds thread. Including one from me http://www.multirotorforums.com/showthread.php?15566-New-DJI-Wookong-Gear-For-Sale

Just stunning! You set the bar for quality, smoothness and stability quite high. Fabulous work.

I'll be visiting family in Denver sometime in May for a few weeks. I'm an ex commercial photographer from California now living in Australia. If you want to get together for a coffee let me know. I think that I might be travelling with my Droidworx XM6 so there's a possibility we could do a...

I'm just now having a play with it as I'm testing the 'Follow Me' functionality it provides. It's just had a major release and it looking great. I haven't had any issues with it. I run it on a 7" tablet that could be mounted above my TX below the video screen. I really like the audio feedback of...

How about hiring a local licensed operator instead? There's a list of them here http://www.casa.gov.au/scripts/nc.dll?WCMS:STANDARD::pc=PC_100959 and I'm sure they would be happy to work with you.

I've recently moved to using Apple gear specifically to video editing. Of course I'm using FCX but I'm not that impressed with it. A friend of mine who works in the software industry highly recommends Media Composer. Is anyone using it or know anything about it?

Yes it is. Very simple to use. Have a look at the list of videos for the release of 3.1. One shows a copter being tuned in flight.

I ran every RC version of 3.1 before the final and let me tell you, it's amazing! Arducopter software has advanced so quickly in the last six months. It has some really great features now such as GPS glitch protection, Drift mode and just about anything else you think of. But just yesterday I...

I'm using 2.6 so I can use the external compass/GPS to get the compass away from the electronics. I have one 2.5 but I converted it to 2.6 which is fairly easy. It just requires cutting a small trace on the board which disables the internal compass. I also have a Pixhawk on order which I...

The 180Amp AttoPilot will work fine. Remember, typically you place it between one of the batteries and the power distribution board so only half of your current will be going through it (assuming you are using two batteries in parallel). Then you scale the current reading via configuration...

If you are going to going higher than 90Amps you can use an AttoPilot sensor instead which is compatible with the APM. See http://copter.ardupilot.com/wiki/common-using-a-current-sensor/ for instructions. If you just want to past the 4S limit of the 3DR power module there are knockoffs that go...

Just finished building my XM6 build tonight. I don't have an accurate scale here but from what I do have it appears to be a bit under 3Kg without batteries or camera/gimbal. So it's going to be at least 5Kg AUW I'd say. I use the APM flight controller from 3DR on all my copters and planes as...

Sounds right. I can't speak for two failures but last week I had a prop come off my SkyJib X4 that I hadn't tightened properly. It just flew off on it's own little flight and gently floated to the ground. It was a little confusing as the copter didn't even flinch. It was rock solid and continued...

If you don't mind an older model have a look at their Spring Sale section on the Droidworx web site. I picked up a XM hexa frame for half price which I'm building now. Not as sexy as the new Ti series but a lovely bird. I've been flying a SkyJib coax octo with my DSLR and wanted something...
