I 3D printed a piece to drop the platform which the camera rests on down about an inch and out about an inch...

    Tx servo control

    Hi I was just wondering if it is possible to control a servo using the potentiometer on my tx. It's a tgy i6. My fcb is the CC3D. If it's possible, how would I go about it? Do I connect the servo to the reciever or the flight controller? My reason for wanting to do this is so I can mount my...

    DIY Servo gimbal help

    So iv 3D printed a 2 axis servo gimbal for my quadcopter. I have put it all together only to realise one problem.

    Fpv camera angle

    For high altitude fpv flight.. Would it be better to have your fpv camera facing forward or facing straight down? I presume you don't get to see how much you're drifting away if you're high up and your cam is facing straight ahead.. Could be deadly for losing signal.. Thanks in advance

All was well except as the quad rockets upwards on full throttle it goes quite a bit off course, as in doesn't...
