something like this? (auw is a total guess just to give a baseline for comparison) interestingly to me, switching between 3S and 4S doesn't make a huge difference all things being equal, except for being slower with 3S.

Hi guys, I am building a small, inexpensive Y6 to run APM and carry a GoPro-class gimbal. Something to give nice stable images while still being easy to travel with (my work/research and family trips are one and the same). While I'd love to tinker endlessly, I'm already doing that on plenty of...

Just in case you are using Pixhawk, keep this in mind: (from APM documentation)

This seems like a good set and store, I'd just need to track down the smaller bits as well, maybe individually. then just get the torque driver separately.

Yep, the wera is the one I linked to. Is the 2.5-11.5 range sufficient? Do you know of a place in the U.S. that sells the wera tips? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Hi Rob. I would guess it is related. I can't imagine it's a blocking issue although it's presented as if it is. Wouldn't you think as long as the opto-isolators are powered, and the PWM range is 1100-1900us it should be OK? Or maybe the Hoverfly compatibility issue has since been sorted, just...

Hi guys, I am looking at torque screwdrivers and bits to have greater assurance in getting things correctly balanced. I've got big torque wrenches for working on automobile engines, so it makes sense to have the same precision with the small machines. What do you think of this torque driver...

Ah - right I recall that. What type of work will you be doing?

Looks great. What's the plan for this? If you're doing commercial work, have you applied for FAA exemption? Enjoy!

Fun quick story: tricopter had a crazy crash into a very high tree branch at my folks' house last night while trying to show my father an auto mission. It ended up stuck up there, and on a canopy branch not in a place that one can climb to (at least, not me). I had disarmed and started thinking...

just in case anyone is interested, APM dev Randy made some Rate Yaw suggestions that I tried (each <default> -> <recommended>): After these small adjustments it flies almost perfectly with 3.3r8 so I have stuck with it since and have been flying auto missions without issue, even without further...

great to hear! Have fun flying @Paul Rosas !

@Paul Rosas do you have a video of the wobble? Have you tried the Cleanflight autotune? I did find a setup guide that might be helpful.

Well if you do grab a cc3d it might be an interesting test just to take the flight controller out of the loop. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Man, I dunno... I have had a "cheap" G10 250 frame and a benchmark CF frame and I got by with the G10 just fine, to be honest. I can't imagine it's flexing and causing what you are seeing. Even if it were, it would be much higher frequency. QAV250 has a great reputation. It just sounds like...

Hi @Mugesh , how is your project going? I have a number of research initiatives involving the same sort of integration, maybe we should talk! Cheers.

I will most likely take them as soon as I work out a deal with a delinquent client. Sorry I can't give you better guidance, such is life :) Hope to know more yet this week. Is the incompatibility they ran into simply related to the preconfigured 1100-1900us PWM range?

Hi Paul, Sorry if I'm repeating one of the experts above but I don't have time to read the whole thread. I can say I had a similar experience with a Blackout flying cc3d when I had the ESC update frequency set wrong (to the lowest setting, 50Hz I think?). Check to see what you have it set to...

looks really nice. What prompted the switch from X8 to quad? Just sheer endurance?

yeah I found the "Trainer" screen so I'll take it from there once I have a second tx and let you know how it goes.
