You need to remember where your stick is for hover, and set the throttle stick to that position just before you flip back into Stab. ;) I usually don't bother with the override in the firmware as the hover point changes depending which batteries, camera, lenses etc I have on board. (My AUW...

Perfectly normal. You must put your throttle at the hover point before switching. Although your Alt Hold worked while stationary hovering you must also test it while in motion. It should hold altitude while in forward, backward, sideways, flight for a reasonable distance. The length of a...

Selling fear since WWl Cars can also carry weaponry.. Bicycles, boats, mules... But they'd not sell as many bicycle jamming systems lol Sigh

Another possibility is the IMU was damaged in your crash. They are pretty delicate. Good luck with DJI getting anything serviced. I know thats not what you want to hear, and I'm not trying to be dramatic. It's just the way they do business. :/

Looks good! Please keep us updated.

I would strongly advise against flying at all with anything over 60% hover throttle. Even 60% is pushing your luck.

And (to anyone starting on Pixhawk/APM) Just because you have all the parameters and functions doesn't mean you need to use them. In 3 years of using APM/Hawk I've never gone beyond Stabilize, Alt Hold, and loiter.. nor have I have done any programmed missions... Nor have I even adjusted any...

I think you mentioned that it wouldn't arm in Stab when you were bench testing.. My guess is that you might not have had enough satellites due to being indoors.

Don't worry, you will soon love the Pixhawk it just takes a while for it all to sink in. For stronger altitude hold you raise the number higher. I usually find about + .5 (point five) is a good increment to try.. I usually end up around point six increase. An easy way to find the right amount...

I was thinking pdb or wire gauge too. What gauge wire are you running from pdb to ESC's ? Wire gauge from batteries to pdb?

While I would agree with the rest of your post, I would not advise this for beginners. You and I as more experienced pilots can recognize issues but the novice may panic. For instance it can be reflex to manually disarm the motors upon touchdown. This (stick action) can be disastrous while...

I was typing at the same time as CrayFellow.. You need to find out why it won't arm in Stabilize mode. This is a safety function... if it finds something is wrong it won't arm.. something is wrong here. You could lose your craft or hurt someone. My suspicion is GPS issues as Alt Hold does...

I've been flying an 810 for about 2 1/2 years and am very happy with the frame. When you start your build thread be sure to ask for us owners to post pics for you. It'd be great to see how others have theirs set up.

Confirming my suspicion that these dummies don't realize radio waves can't penetrate walls. Not even a basic understanding of the gear! Oh man. This makes my heart sink thinking of what the the dummies may cause at other parachuting events. A Phantom tangled in your chute would mean almost...

My evil plan to wait till this came out and then scoop up a cheap A7s is getting closer to fruition :) There should be quite a few cheap first version units on the market soon. This also makes me wonder about the investment value of Sony cams in general. It looks like they're on a planned...

I think pretty much everyone is in agreement here lol. My suggestions are straight out of the manual... I suggest you read up ;)

Agree 100% I usually put my RTL on the lowest left switch (2 way) and my flight modes above that on the three way switch. It's a knee jerk reaction for me too ;) Mutherf***

For first flights I would disable all modes except: Stabilize, Alt Hold, and Loiter Test them in that order: First take off and fly in Stabilize to make sure its solid and the tuning is good. Then proceed to test Alt Hold to make sure it doesn't climb or descend while in motion.. It probably...

Ok I had my number wrong. Here is the "Mid" priced tripod I use for my day to day stuff: http://www.amazon.ca/Manfrotto-755XB-Aluminum-Tripod-Leveler/dp/B000U8X2G6/ref=pd_sim_421_5?ie=UTF8&refRID=0N098YZJK8WATW7CM6RB With this head on it (502 not 501 as I mentioned above)...
