Also, if it helps, here is a bit of the log for the last attempt: Test: Autotune = UNKNOWN - No ATUN log data Test: Balance/Twist = GOOD - Test: Brownout = GOOD - Test: Compass = GOOD - No MAG data, unable to test mag_field interference Test: Dupe Log Data = GOOD - Test: Empty = GOOD - Test...

Thanks. I did check that first and it all seems to be good. But I did observe a couple of things in Mission Planner: The icon for the quad shows a + configuration, rather than x, which is what I have. And the heading seems to be off. Is this something that would justify the behavior? I will post...

Hello, So I was finally at the point where I thought my APM2 quad was ready for the maiden flight. But apparently not. When I throttle up, the quad tries to flip. And being a newbie I am a little lost as to why. What are some of the basic things I should check first? Also, I am running the...

Take it with a grain a salt, from a newbie who hasn't even finished his first project. I might have not seen the worst of it yet. I am happy with my kit so far. It is not identical to the one you shared, but it is pretty close. Keep in mind that it is not original 3DR equipment, so, as long as...

Good and bad news. My soldering skills are ok. Multimeter says connections are not the problem. Plus I just shorted the power module accidentally and was able to fix it. And the four motors work when tested with a known good ESC. Bad news is two ESCs seem dead. No beeps, no nothing... Ordering...

Thank you for the quick responses. bought everything new, but I think they might be knock-offs (dealextreme) simonk because I liked the idea of upgrading firmwares. And they happened to come in a kit with the motor Voltage out of harness is good. I did my own soldering of connectors on both...

Hello, I am putting together my first R/C toy ever. APM2 on a 450 cat frame. In testing I see what I think are strange behaviors, so I have a couple very basic questions to get started: - Some ESCs don't make the first noise when powered. Dead, I assume? - A motor, with good ESC and throttle...

I am in the West Palm Beach area. anyone else around?

Hello, Completely new to anything RC. Starting by building a 450 deadcat style autopilot. No FPV for now, as I think I have already bit enough for a while. Looking forward to the tinkering and, hopefully, the flying... Thanks for what I have already learned in this forum, and apologies in...
