    Mikrokopter MK Firmware 0.88 online now

    Craig, Yah, minimum would make more sense. Be nice if someone who knows German could translate the wiki for us instead of auto translator. Be sure to let us know what you observe. I will give it a try too whenever its no longer blowing like crazy here. Shawn

    Mikrokopter MK Firmware 0.88 online now

    I think the copter will return to the original position with Dynamic PH off (not selected) when you have not been at the new position beyond the Position Hold Login Time. Example: Positon Hold Login Time set to 5 seconds and Dynamic PH off (not selected). You are flying and have position hold...

    Mikrokopter MK Firmware 0.88 online now

    To me, it's really not that clear from the Wiki how this all works. I haven't tried it so can't comment on personal experience. From the wiki: Position Hold Login Time That's the maximum of time in which the MikroKopter logs the new position after the sticks of the Nick/Roll axis are back...

    Hoverfly Flashing purple LED

    Hey Bart, Not sure I followed this exactly, but are you trying to make it so that when you have the throttle stick all the way down the motors are spinning at idle like MK does? HFP is not supposed to function like that, when you have the throttle in the full down position the motors should not...

    Mikrokopter MK Firmware 0.88 online now

    Just got back from flying 3 sets of batteries and the new copter flew awesome. I do get some pretty bad ballooning on yaw so I need to check into what to tweak. This is a new copter and has only flown on firmware v0.88. I was flying all stock settings in a light breeze; the altitude hold was...

    It flew away and I can't find it :( - LifePo battery dead on MX-20 transmitter

    Thanks Lec. Just got done posting about 30 flyers. I didn't have my name and phone # on it either. Big lessons learned! I contacted a fellow grad student who does wildlife telemetry (monkeys) and I am going to order some transmitters that his RX/yagi setup can pickup. This way I can just borrow...

    It flew away and I can't find it :( - LifePo battery dead on MX-20 transmitter

    Well, I guess it had to happen some day because I grew careless. I lost my FPV quad yesterday because the battery went dead on my MX-20 transmitter. I had just finished finally getting this copter exactly how I wanted it and away she went. I watched about $1200 fly away while yelling at my wife...
