wow PH2 seems extremely stable
Added my X8r receiver upgrade last night and updated the Taranis to OpenTX 2.19
Went back and tried a few things that have changed since I took it up last.
The Castle Creations ESCs moved to a new firmware. Huge improvement
You could not calibrate the ESCs trough Pixhawk prior. Fixed endpoints were a sumbitch. Now they do calibrate with copter 3.4
In Mission Planner there is a new compass calibration method called onboard. Philip R said this was added to support solo when it merges.
But I saw a video where a guy did a DIY with it. And it worked.
I did not plan to lift it off the ground today, but wanted to see if it would arm.
So you guessed it, temptation took over
I lifted off 3 times, 2 in loiter 1 in stabilize and man it feels good with no tuning at all.
Going to spend a day or two reading up on tuning and getting hover throttle set.
Then will do a full off the ground flight.
If all that goes well, then its off to try and leverage that Edison.
