Thanks guys @Rod, Andre. Yes though as much, just wasn't sure how sensitive this IMU is.

Just a few other questions before I power it up. My throttle lever is on the right so to arm I hold it in normal V configuration or inverted V?

Is there any issue to mount the IMU directly on top of the MC Box? ( see photos of setup http://diydrones.com/photo/photo/lis...=30c2pkju7afae)

"Enable Insurance" What is that? Fail safe?

When I click "Init setup" what is happening? I don't see anything? (using PC GCS)

How can I see if the RC is properly calibrated?

How can I stop the default location going to YSs test field in Beijing?

With the "new" USB cable, Can I plug this directly into one of the data modules to connect it to the GCS software? If I can this means I can use internet live while using the GCS and flying. (No Wifi needed for connection then)

Is it ok to leave all the red wire connected to all the ESC sockets going to the MC unit? I see on the Alishanmao's YouTube tutorial he briefly mentions to disconnect all except one. But there isn't anything in the manual on this so assume this isn't necessary?

Are we able to connect any other sensors such as sonar or optic sensors?

Throttle and rudder on right?

Should be ok there

"Enable Insurance" What is that? Fail safe?
used for auto take off. Don't touch for now

Used for throttle calibration. You have to be in manual mode for it to have any effect. GCS should show "Init setup". Do not fly in this condition.

How can I see if the RC is properly calibrated?
Move the sticks. Manual servo position/R/A/E should not exceed +-40. Throttle, < 90

How can I stop the default location going to YSs test field in Beijing?
You can't

I don't have a modem but I don't see why not. You do not need a live connection to use the map. You do have to cache the area you are flyinf and not close the PC GCS down.

Disconnect all the red wires from ECS. Some ECS can fry. Power to RX is supplied from the FC

Are we able to connect any other sensors such as sonar or optic sensors?
Current sensor. RPM. It holds pretty well without sonar

Not any "app" on var/mobile/Applications folder...

That should be right path. If you go root folded and /applictions/ it goes to same folder. But you should not have yswifi.exe there as it is windows software, you should find yswifi.app.

No sd card installed on the Ipad...
On Android, either the sd card is in or not, I can found the hj folder....

Thanks Westie. yes correct throttle and yaw on the right. I persisted with it on the left for ages but found I have much better control with this configuration having it on the right side.

I think its because i find for multirotor copters the altitude adjustment using the throttle and heading using yaw are quite critical and need quite accurate controls compared to flying a fixed wing which is where the throttle and rudder on the left comes from.

In that case you arming will be

Hi all,
which jailbreak software do you use ?
Maybe my folders problem comes from bad jailbreak...(I use absinthe-win-2.0.4 on Ipad and redsnow on Iphone)

Hello
Just one stupid question.
How works the RTH? The point home initializes during the connection of the battery, or it is necessary to validate a function in the gcs? and witch fonction?

cordially for your help.

the system will automatically capture home position when enough satellites are locked, the process takes a bit of time after you connect the battery. You can also override the home position by clicking on the home position button in the GCS, the system will then record the updated position as the new home position.

maximus, try to update your GCS to the latest version. The older version had a bug that caused the ipad not to store HJ files.

Has anyone used a Samsung Galaxy with android 4.0.4 on it to fly waypoints?

I have samsung andriod 4.0.4 but im unable to edit waypoints then program quits. Dont know whats wrong other people do have sucsess with it.

Thats why I am trying to find out who is using that software because I know of 1 other person that is having problems and it might be linked to the fact that they are using the Galaxy Note.

Damned !!!

ps: I remember yesterday I was online with ZHANG and update with latest version and it was the same bad result
"but" if I put the app on var/mobile/Applications/ folder, program doesn't work (no other app file in this folder) and if I put in /var/stash/applications.Gnd7n (or something like that) where all the app are, GCS works perfectly...but no Hj folder or file....
The "extention" of Applications folder makes me thinking that something is wrong....

I sold original 6000mAh 35C KYPOM to my client and after a ten of flights (one pair in parallel for each flight), 3 packs on 8 became completely dead (one cell at 0volt on each pack) and 2 others are very unbalanced.
I saw a cell dropping at 1.2V on the QUANUM (at the end of flight) while other was at 3.55V.
I can presume that during the "last" flight, on cell died suddenly and make the FC go on "fast" auto-crash...
Client has few "alerts" before he crashed.
And big problem happened after a full power one minute climbing...
Total flight from take off to crash-landing was only 113sec...
Fortunately he could open parachute....only 3 arms broken.... and the 1500€ stabilised zoom lens !!!!

And cherry on the cake, no hj file !!!
