Please tell us a bit about your UAV interest
My UAV interest is fairly new. I am hoping to build on my limited knowledge of the field so that I can one day utilize UAV's for commercial purposes.

"That's what I use Aux2 for as well. Unfortunately, I'm just not sure since Aux1 is used for mixing to get 6 flight modes. It might only be possible with the dx8 since it has an extra channel. You might experiment by replacing AX1 in the mixing menu…"
"Ditto...very cool. But I'm getting a fierce case of that iOS 7 vertigo watching these vids."
"I'm really not sure about that. I just built my setup off of the initial posting in this thread, which used AUX1. AUX2 should be free for you to assign as you like. You should be able to re-assign the switches as you see fit in the SW select area…"

"Very interesting. I just converted my hexa C to a Y6 last weekend. Standard setup for the 3DR Y6 is 10' props on top and 11" on the bottom but they are spaced about 3-4 inches apart.
I may need to do a bit more tuning but I've seen a slight…"

"Very stable video. How do you fly the bird and control the gimbal at the same time? Are the plans freely available for the pieces? I guess, what I'm trying to ask is, do you have more details on how you construct/use this? I've been looking for…"
"Good luck with your aspirations Rodney. I live in Douglasville as well. Not much UAV centered activities going over here. "
"I just recently noticed the same issue with my Hexa C as well. I've manually/automatically calibrated the ESCs multiple times and they all seem to start up at the same time.
However, I get a single higher pitched beep after plugging up LIPO. I…"

Glad I could help Mitch. You are very welcome."

"You mentioned the switch setting, did you mean the setup screen labeled SW Select?
If so, this is what I have.
Trainer: Inh Flap: Aux1
F Mode: Inh Mix: Inh
Gear: Gear Knob: Aux2"

"I took the settings that Bruce initially posted and tweaked them a bit and I was able to get all 6 flight modes functioning properly.
Not sure why I got it to work after so much tweaking but I cannot argue with the results. Everyone is posting the…"
