I won't dispute that some of the instructions are written for an engineering level of comprehension. That's the weak point for 3d Robotics. The modes can be assigned however you want them assigned. The issue is they have to be assigned, not simply be. You are going to have to become intimate...

Mission Planner will not match your radio flight modes until you assign them in MP. ... There are recommendations that you set up the first three flight modes as stabilized, loiter, and RTH and branch out from there. Are you actually reading and following the Wiki instructions or looking for...

You narrowed it down pretty well. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

We don't know what type they were, just what was represented by the media. OTH, the Russians have been prolific with using Phantoms in their assault in the Ukraine so this does not bode well when viewed as security issues. The good and the bad is that anyone can obtain and fly them. The good...

If you visit the 3D Robotics YouTube videos they provide demonstrations on how to calibrate the compass. I found the process not difficult at all. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Sleepy, You can rent all the big cameras from cinema camera and equipment rental companies already. The larger question might be what the premium would be to insure one of these against crash damage.

Every function you choose to use in APM and Pixhawk are very end point specific. As you move through the various flight modes you'll be seeing the importance of how the end points are set for a particular channel. There's quite a bit of mention about that in APM set up instructions, which flow...

I'm not as far along as you and mounted the ESC's a lot differently. I'll post some pictures a little later (it's still an electrical nightmare) but the short version had me obtaining a lot of parts from a T-1000 so I used the tube clamps and ESC mounting plates from it with a little rubber...

Take a look at this build log and see if there's something in it that might assist. It's a tarot 810 using Taranis and a Pixhawk. http://www.maciej.se/T810.html#osd

But will we be able to buy it or only rent it? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Welcome, to the forum. You've got some practice time ahead of you for sure. Certification is a bit hard to accomplish at the moment because the rules establishing that process are currently in the public comment period. The FAA released their rules and certification proposal in a Notice of...

A friend owns a hobby shop. I'll look into it and get back to you. Update; the pricing info may not be out yet. The dealer I spoke to could not find anything on it. He did say the FPV version of the Ominous will be listed at $199.99 but no info on the Ora. He'll be speaking with the...

Gary, If you're friendly with a hobby shop that's also a Hobbico/Tower Hobbies dealer you might ask them if they have the MSRP available yet.

Determining the "unloading" factor would be pretty involved. One would have to extensively test different propeller types with different tip separations in flight out of ground effect to establish an average.

Congratulations!

Good question and one I don't have a clue how to answer.

I've got a couple of the 3DR Tarot gimbals and both will shiver if left at the extreme top or bottom positions. You can set up a lot of different failsafes with Pixhawk, voltage, GPS, distance and altitude, link, and then dial in the descent rate for the landing phase of the RTL function. You...

Looking for an unused, undamaged Hive Mini PDB. If you have one that's unwanted send me a PM. I'm in the U.S. so overseas shipping costs make that trip a bit unattractive.

I don't see the NPRM impacting the hobby side at all. If there's any future impact on the hobby side such would probably be self induced. Section 6 of the NPRM references model aviation activities as excluded from part 107 as long as they play within the rules of section 333 of Public Law...
