    Hi, got the multicopter bug here in Southern CA

    If mdntblu is availabile this or one of the following Friday's, that could work. He's at Crossroads and I don't want to just show up there without them knowing. Mdntblu? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Hi, got the multicopter bug here in Southern CA

    I started with a 350QX and started building after that. The blade 350 is a good place to start but the Green safe mode, while easy, slows your progress in learning to control a multirotor. I'm interested in getting together at a MR friendly location. Suggestions? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Hi, got the multicopter bug here in Southern CA

    Hi guys. I'm also building my first zmr250. I'm in Corona near you mdntblu, been busy with other things for a while. Let's see if we can all get together in corona soon with HyLyfe and compare notes. Also, a good fpv group called SoCal FPV Aviators on Facebook has a lot of experienced fpv...

    Hi, got the multicopter bug here in Southern CA

    Howdy leadpan. Cool, we need to get a list of people in the area interested in a Meetup group of some kind. There's one in LA/OC area I think. Perhaps one for the IE.

    MultiWii / NAZE / SP Racing F3 Multiwii 328p Thottle problem!!

    What mode you in? Once you release the stick, does the copter stop and try to level itself or just keep going?

    Hi, got the multicopter bug here in Southern CA

    Thanks SoCal. This looks good. I especially need the pin out for battery monitoring, which isn't on my HK MultiWii Pro.

    Hi, got the multicopter bug here in Southern CA

    Sounds good! Maybe we can setup a local "meetup" group or something of that type. If you haven't already, check out AMA membership as well.

    Hi, got the multicopter bug here in Southern CA

    Yeah, I'm intrigued by the APM software. I watched a video by one of the developers and was amazed at the control he has of his quad. I using a DX9, and have read that there is a compatibility issue with the APM. Is that still true? I agree about supporting 3DR. If I go that direction I'd be...

    Hi, got the multicopter bug here in Southern CA

    Thanks SoCal. I'm intrigued by HK's new radio, too. mdntblu, look forward to meeting ya. I thought we were the only propeller heads in Corona. The APM 2.6 looks interesting. Are the units on eBay the same as the ones on the APM site? They're quite a bit cheaper.

    Hi, tried to reply to your msg, but didn't go through. Yes let's look to get together and compare notes. Looking for a multicopter friendly club in the area.

    MultiWii / NAZE / SP Racing F3 Multiwii 328p Thottle problem!!

    I'm no expert by any stretch, but here's a few thoughts... My throttle problems were due to uncalibrated escs. Search for info on that. If you have a good combination of motors/prop/batt/weight, you should be able to hold hover at about 50% throttle. See ecalc.ch for help with your config...

    Proposed Plans for my first Hex build

    Will do once I get some flight experience. Still have jittering and TBE in gps modes. The mag dec is right and the motors are level. Any thoughts on which parameters affect gps lock?

    Proposed Plans for my first Hex build

    Time to tune the gps on HK multiwii pro The quad hovers well in angle and horizon mode. The hover is smooth. Baro is a no go. Copter will not lift off in baro mode. GPS mode is another story. I do get gps hold, since I spent one battery (7 mins) hovering in place without touching the a/e...

    Proposed Plans for my first Hex build

    My son and I rebuilt my Quad after another crash. We have now learned to flash my Turnigy Multistar 30A escs with SimonK's latest version of software. Thanks to rctestbench for this YouTube video. http://youtu.be/3py4t_Litak Build an 6-pin adapter for my USBASP interface with help from...

    Proposed Plans for my first Hex build

    Thanks, I needed an excuse for a radio with more than 6 channels. Recommendations for a Spektrum compatible unit?

    Proposed Plans for my first Hex build

    Can ACC and MAG calibration be done with the copter disconnected from the computer's usb? It's a pain with usb cord hanging off the board.

    Proposed Plans for my first Hex build

    Facing north, I missed that part. I got the MultiWii PRO Flight Controller w/MTK GPS Module from HK. I need to understand what modes I need on to hover with GPS lock. More reading to do. Thanks, guys, I'm learning more everyday.

    Proposed Plans for my first Hex build

    You're right. It was version 2.3. It was a late post :) I'll look into the escs. But, the mag sensor looks suspicious. It was an HK board from their global warehouse. The one with the MTK gps board included. Thanks, quad makes sense. I have a KK2.1.5 on its way as well.

    Proposed Plans for my first Hex build

    An update, moved to a multiwii mega pro after damaging the Kk2.1. I think I energized the rudder inputs with 5v while plugging in the recv line. The aileron and rudder monitors were all over the place, while the throttle tracked smoothly. Saw some sparking so I assumed I toasted the inputs...
