Good evening all, I know there are tons of these "flipping on takeoff" threads, but none have solved my problem. I've checked motor location, motor rotation, propellar rotation, calibration, fc (ardupilot 2.8) mounting direction, compass direction, ESC calibrated automatically and...

I tried flying my quad today for the first time since I installed the APM 2.8 (when I say tried, I mean in the garage just to see if I could use the auto trim feature but it's been way too windy to fly a quad the last couple of weeks around here) and....well, it didn't go so well. As soon as I...

I have the Devo7, but I already figured out the problem. My max throttle parameters in Mission planner was set to 80 instead of the 1000. But then I couldn't find the thr_max, all I had was thr_dzr, thr_mid and thr_min. I was able to increase my max throttle through the parameter list or tree...

Thanks Jackson, I've been watching all his videos and I have my motors running. Now I have another issue, I hit my throttle which turns powers my motors but I only have one throttle speed. In other words, I raise my throttle position to 5% which powers my motors, but there's no acceleration or...

What's up everyone, So I'm fairly new to the world of R/C and someone on here recommended that I go with the APM flight controller for altitude home and return to launch function capabilities. I was able to set it all up (with more difficulty than I would have cared for!), calibrate it...

So I've been doing some research and I came across this on Ebay: ( http://www.ebay.com/itm/APM2-8-Flight-Controller-NEO-7M-GPS-3DR-915Mhz-Telemetry-OSD-Power-Module-/261819897807?hash=item3cf5ae97cf:g:NAYAAOSwQTVWCkeB ) Would this be a good buy for the price? Any advice is greatly appreciated!

Thanks Jackson!

Thanks Gabriel, I appreciate it!

Lol, I haven't watched that show in a long time! Looks like I'll have to catch up, but thanks again for your help, I'll let you guys know when I purchase the new additions!

Oh and one other question, once a new flight controller and gps module is installed, is it simple enough for someone who know's absolutely nothing (me) to get it in working order and calibrated correctly? Thanks again!

Thanks for the link Jackson! Would I still need to purchase a different flight controller like Reno mentioned above? or is the Mini-APM-pro flight control also a flight controller? I'm new to all of this so I'm still trying to learn the basics and how it all works. Thanks in advance guys!

Awesome, I'll definitely take a look into those controllers! I appreciate the quick response.

Thanks Reno! I may have questions for you!

Hey everyone, I'm pretty new to the drone world and I've been "trying" to fly my sk450 all summer, please reference the "trying". I've had some good flights and some not so very good flights! I was wondering if there was a way of adding altitude hold and a "return home" feature to my...

Hello to all, I'm Dan, from Massachusetts. I'm new to the drone world and the R/C world for that matter! I've always had an interest in flying a drone so I went out and bought the Turnigy SK450 from Hobbyking as my first victim. I'm proud to say, so far, it has survived my horrific...
