Well im back for more help from you experienced folks out there, pretty sure i fried my board wen i fried my osd, tried setting up my fpv with the osd, powered it off my jst connection on my pdb, i removed the osd and the fpv seemed to work but couldnt get motors to arm, tried resetting and...

Thanks, I believe I did that already, but being a noob with the custom builds i just choked, I've got a few of the syma rtf quads, i can fly pretty good but i crash them once in awhile, they take a beating, had an x5 under water for a half hour, dried it out and im still flying it today, lol...

Many thanks to all for the advice, i found a member in another discussion forum with same throttle issue and a suggested fix, it worked!, have already crashed (due to showing off) and wrecked my gps module, but no worries, another on way, thought i was grounded but found out i can fly without...

Oh, your funny, I'm not that funny but everyone I know says I'm a bunch of mushrooms (a fungi), lol, just sum humor for ya, I do have a 350 tilt rotor frame, maybe I'll try Naza for that one, My goal is 90mph with it, I've been watching Dutch RC on YouTube for that, here's question, I...

So if I get the 2.6 will I be able to use the OSD, telemetry system, external GPS/compass, and power module that came with the 2.8? Also, will I have to remove jumpers or cut traces??

Im at the point of ordering a new board, probably an APM 2.6, I think the 2.8 is toi new, i dont think all the glitches have been worked out, im going to try messing around with tuning and the like today

i opened my apm 2.8 (version 2.8.8 as the board reads) after watching a couple videos about cutting a trace between two pads, having some electronics assembly experience i felt confident that i could at least visually inspect the board, well, neither the I2C jumper is installed nor the mag...

I recalibrated ESC's, I'm using a 4s Lipo, should hear 4 beeps and a long beep, signifying the 4s battery and successful calibration, Right? well I only hear 2 beeps and the long one, throttle reaction in normal mode, idles and the slightest throttle stick up it revs high and no throttle control...

Update! I removed Mission Planner from my computer, I installed APMplanner 2, seemed super easy to go thru the set up, it was basically the same as Mission Planner, no errors, able to arm the motors, BUT, the throttle still acts funny, stick up just slightly and from idle to what seems like high...

My transmitter is a Radiolink AT9, i think i worked out the transmitter issues, now im getting "check board voltage" and "bad gps" and "bad compass health" pre-arm errors, even wen it does arm and im able to apply throttle it acts funny, wen i raise the throttle stick it jumps from its idle...

woo hoo! I got the esc's calibrated, did it manually, one by one and actually got to see and hear the motors, but it still wont arm the motors wen its all hooked thru the FC, amber light by GPS port is solid, blue light by PM port is solid, blue light on external compass/GPS stays solid, but...

Thank you so much, i got the radio calibrated (Radiolink AT9), now my experienced friend, im to the esc calibration, im getting this error Set param error. Please ensure your version is AC3.3+ is this referring to the apm firmware?

Im using the apm 2.8, watched dozens of videos, been trying for days to get it set up, seemed to work at first, but couldnt get the motors to arm, noticed on radio calibration the throttle seemed to be backwards, push stick up, green bar went down, push stick down green bar goes up, ive removed...

Ugh, struggling with my apm set up, gotta start cruising threads to see whats up,

Yes gonna start with photos this eve, spent about 4 hrs soldering 3.5mm extensions for a power distribution board last night, also put 3.5 bullet connectors on the esc's (shud have done it before a strapped them on, lol) i used 4mm bulket connectors between motors and esc's cuz i was impatient...

Please share as u build, I'm totally stoked about those Cobra motors, I can hardly wait to get it all put together, innov8tivedesigns has some awesome charts, if they perform as the data says my quad will rip the air up, I know I'm gonna need help with setting up that APM flight controller, if u...

hey everyone! Thanks to all that helped me with your experience and advice, I became concerned that the cobra motors weren't going to be able to handle the power I'm planning on putting to them, I had ordered the Cobra C-2217/20 960Kv, and thought maybe I should switch to the C-2814/20 850Kv...

any other ideas or where I've made a mistake?
