Customer requested it, that's why.

RF bleed from the bird, controller, and wifi extender very nearby. Sorry about that.

What about compass and antennas?

What about compass and antennas?

what do you think, it without question will be effected , for better or worse who knows

 

[Multicoptertec]

The antenna orientations do change, as they are still in the legs. The compass was relocated, and remains fixed in relation to the bird.

May I ask wher you relocated the compass too? I've tried to find a new place for it, but cannot get past the compass errors. Would love your thoughts

There is an "arm" on one of the servo / gear mounting brackets, and the compass is mounted there.

thanks!! if you happen to snap a pic, I wouldn't complain! I was trying to shorten my landing gear, no matter what i did i couldn't resolve compass errors. This helps, so I know a better location.

The compass mounts to the bracket near the gimbal.

Right. Cool it is, but probably MORE drag, more weight, and less flight time.

 

[HWCM]

What are all the brass weights for?
Also, why are the retracts necessary?
How is it activated?

Yeah the metal bracket. It's almost like it was made special and just for the compass.

Hows it activated is a good question

Gear Up and Down are done with the flight mode switch - from P to F for retract and a double P to F for extend - I think.

Yea, that's how the commercially ones that I've seen work.

A small interface/processor taps the buss and then generates the servos PWM signals.
