I am tuning this control board, and the instructions say to set ATV for Roll and Pitch to 50. On my ER9X, is that the same thing as just mixing the weight of those two channels to 50 percent? For instance, I had to reverse the elevator channel to get it to work, and all I did was change the...

Okay, I did something terribly wrong. Just assembled a micro quad, and it never even got to fly. As soon as I connected power, all kinds of burning smells and the lipo got puffy. Clearly, there's a short. Clearly, there is permanent damage. Now what? If I connect another lipo, it will...

I saw someone mention adding lube to the bearings on their motors. Does everyone do this? I've had some weird issues that lead me to believe I'm loosing several motors... could this be the result of not lubricating them?

Hi everyone! I'm not sure where else to turn. I've tried and tried to figure this out, but I'm getting nowhere. I have a few different issues, so I'll try to paint the whole picture at once. Here is what I am trying to put together: Important components: Frame: Scorpion Y650 (Y6, carbon...

Okay, I have tried to figure this out, and just can't seem to find the answers. Are there two different kinds of telemetry? I am trying to build my Y6 around an APM board, and I understand you can get some telemetry through an Xbee/MAVlink arrangement directly to Mission Planner. I also see...

Hi, Never built one before, but have some flying skill. What do you think of this for starters? Not planning any acro... just good solid flight for Go Pro, FPV, and Waypoints. I know my list doesn't have these abilities yet, but do you think this is a good platform to start with?

Hi, I'm sorry for the total newb question, but can anyone tell me the best way to have the ability to set waypoints on a hex I'm building? What's the cheapest controller/GPS/telemetry set-up that will allow me to use Arducopter? I live in Canada, in case shipping comes in to play. I'd also...

I've tried a few toys like the Spacewalker and MQX, but now I'd like to build a real hex. I look forward to contributing what I can and learning as much as possible.
