    navigation lights

    I did the same but with DeLights from Dimension Engineering. 2 per side (8 total) and programmed to strobe alternately such that the load is constant.

    Quadframe Foldable Pro SIXcopter - medium lift need

    I thought the same, and only used signal on my last quad with NAZA, but did read Pixhawk needs the ground. Then I came across this: http://www.rcgroups.com/forums/showthread.php?t=946741 My manual shows all three connected in a diagram but without further explanation. I don't suppose...

    Drones Illegal in Austin, TX

    Quadframe Foldable Pro SIXcopter - medium lift need

    Nice build. I'm working on something very similar but a more budget quadrotor. Same motors, 6S. Wish I had found those ESCs before I ordered the Platinum 30s but they should be fine too. Did you add extra caps to the ESCs on the arms? Is there any concern with the packs atop the Pixhawk? I'll...

    Quadcopters strange behavior

    The NAZA barometer is sensitive to light when the sun is low in the sky. Cover the left side with dark tape?
