Have you updated to 3.1.1? I know that was to address the issue you are seeing.

I'm intersted. Got a quad I'd like to test them on.

Use Mission Planner and perform a motor test without props. Make sure the correct motor is spinning and in the correct direction. http://ardupilot.com/downloads/?did=82 You'll find the motor test under Initial Setup -> Optional Hardware.

Altitude issue is specific to x8 frames. It's an issue for me because I'm needed autonomous flight modes.

Any altitude hold issues in forward flight with the XAircraft? Looking for a solution. My pixhawk and from my reading Wookong, A2 all have issues holding altitude with the X8 Config.

Any provision to run a video tx and camera trigger through the motor?

I'm selling my DJI S900 with Wookong v2 GPS flight controller. It has a total of 1 flight on it. Purchased in December, Assembled, Test Flown and has sat the winter out. An overbudget wedding a paycut at work are forcing the sale. I'll sell it several different ways but will not split until...

It all comes down to interpretation. Your argument is a sUAS is not an aircraft by definition and thus can not be regulated utilizing the existing federal aviation regulations.

As a Pilot, I'm ok with this. Same goes for laser pointers and any other device used...

But the FAA's definition has not changed. The NTSB simply went back and reviewed policies, laws, regulations, that established the definition and affirmed the definition. If you narrow the scope of definition you may exclude something in the future. The FAA is not going to regulate footballs...

Yup, Both instances are correct and fine. Sorry if it read as an accusation. Glad to hear you are applying for the exemption. I've worked for an Aerial Survey Company flying 206's and also done some aerial photography work. I do think a sUAS can be safer than a manned aircraft flying low, slow...

To receive compensation for Aerial Photography you would need to be a Commercial Rated Pilot. In the FAA's eyes there may be little difference between you using your UAV or taking pictures under the canopy. The real issue is the amount of risk you are creating for bystanders. A multi rotor...
