    beginning quadcopter part, not official

    I have the F450 as well but with the stock dji esc's, motors and props. I would say that the 5 in props are going to be too small for that platform, the 9 in show great performance from what i have experienced.

    Auto Landing gear

    Yea this problem is really driving me crazy. I found an option in extended params to enable the aux channels but that still did not do anything. I am beginning to think i may need to ask my brother in law to write a code to make all this work.

    Drone Shot Down

    That's why I tell everyone who asks I'm flying my hobby helicopter. The word "drone" seems to scare people and make them feel unsecure. I hate the new registration but it is the only way I can fly. Anyone I talk to including family, the first thing the say is, did you register it?
