Well i was in the process of tuning it i was going to test it again and it would not respond and arm the motors. I disconnected it a few times, re programmed the board and finally after resetting the defaults it started working again. After putting all my PIDs back to where they were the copter will now shoot up into the air at a certain throttle and after letting off a tad it will just fall. There is no in between it seems for the throttle. What could be causing this? Thankfully it only resulted in a broken leg of the landing gear as a throttle up at the last second to save it.
Jordan ... did you calibrate your ESC's ? Do that before anything. Reload MWC 2.2 for now as MWC 2.3 has throttle tied to alt-hold. Be sure you clear EEPROM before uploading. Looking at the GUI (no props) ... arm and increase throttle ... the signals should be proportional to throttle level - you should not see a spike in the signal. Are you getting enough power to your board? Should be at the 5v level from your UBEC or ESC BEC. Cover the baro with open foam. Enable Horizon 100% L/M/H for now until you get your copter to fly correctly.
I did just swap out a cheap BEC for a hobbywing BEC but it says 5v so i would think it would be fine. I will try version 2.2 and putting on the old cheap BEC i had and see if that works.
Ok i put the old BEC on it that it was flying with fine and that did not change anything. When throttling up on my remote it seems like the board is delayed, it lets me get 3 clicks up before it even turns the motors on and when they kick on they feel almost full throttle. After backing down one notch the throttle is completely cut. If i take the esc and connect it directly to my transmitter it motors turn on like normal and speed up slowly. Do you have any other ideas what this board is doing?

Actually not quite flying yet...I know im getting ahead of myself but i managed to ruin the battery that I had so in the process of ordering another...

So i recently purchased a cheap 2 axis gimbal (the one thats around 60 bucks) with the board attached to it. My question..What pins on the multiwii FC do i plug it into to power it??
Tre ... can we assume your copter is now flying properly? To answer your question, you probably have a brushless gimbal with controller .. that does not need to be attached to the controller to work properly. However, check if it has roll / pitch control .. if it does, connect the pitch signal pin to a rotary switch (assuming your radio has one ..) so you can tilt the gimbal.
Forgot to add ... the controller would have a power connector attached .. option is to connect a separate battery (check polarity) or use the existing Lipo battery ... check controller specs to make sure you use the correct voltage.

Mooch ... Witey 23 with sonar is a no-go ... it's like a yo-yo ... even with only baro .. could be a hiccup somewhere. The DroneApp with Tablet and OTG works like a charm ... telemetry and more. Maybe temp assign to a copter ... why not ...
I havent tried it yet but I have a sonar unit that I bought ages ago........ as previously mentioned, 4 other projects at various stages and I need to get them completed..... then yes,....
Yep ... never out of good ideas ...

Hey Majik, this adapter compatible with wingiu? Hope I purchased right adapter
Wingui is compatible with any serial adapter that can communicate to the FC via Serial interface following the Arduino protocol. Bluetooth and 3dr also work for pure GUI work.

Hi.....Anyone tried this on flying wings?
go here ... "h t t p :// fotoflygarn. blogspot. com/ 2014/ 04 / multiwii-gps-airplane. h t m l " take out the spaces. Airplanes have been done before ... but if you do not read RTH or PH, a simple flight stabilizer will be ok.

Help....newbie here, somehow managed to break off micro usb hub from board, managed to upload sketch, but was still in the testing stages, is there another way to load new sketches....ex. ftdi ? another note, bought a second used board also mwii, cleared eeprom, loaded new sketch, but keep getting message "make sure you have selected right com port" any help greatly appreaciated.
Heli .. you can use the Serial 0 port beside the Rx pins. 5v, grd and cross connect the Rx and Tx pins. Your new board might have a different serial adapter chip and could need the proper driver. Look as your Device Manager LPT and COM port .. check your USB serial port has a proper COM assigned to it.
will give this a try, but have to make sure I read correctly, the first part of your answer is directed to broken usb hub? and I can use those pins to hook up an ftdi adapter ?
Yes ... even the cheap Fleabay Silabs serial adapters work ok ... does not need to be a FTDI.

Nice one Mooch .. questions I have for the 8 ch MX 16 are the availability of receivers and how are they? Nice radio by the way ... way cool features ...
Thanks Maj....... I have always wanted a Graupner ever since I first saw Warthox fly....... but they were too top of the line (meaning expensive) for me to justify so when this unit came up with 2 RX and some spare antenna I snapped it up..... the Radio is pure heaven as you would expect from a $450 radio and RX's are awesome once you program them and the telemetry is so far advanced from the Frsky I had no idea........ the RX's are over $100/ea and I got the lot for $300........ so I am a happy camper......... forgot to mention that you can link RX's to have up to 32 channels...... why you would want that who knows but its there if you need it.... lifes good...
Nice radio ... but me thinks I cannot get away with a new radio ... considering I have not hid the current collection of TGY 9x's .. she always comes back to the question .. "well how many models can you fly at one time ..." what can I say?
When under extreme pressure from the bride the reply has to be "How many pairs of undies do you have?".......... then give after the response (which hopefully isnt just a turn around and walk out kind of response)............ then you say "And how many of those do you wear at the same time?"....... fight fire with fire........ then sit back and wait for the fireworks to start........ cheers and here is to a peaceful and quiet life.............
*******youtu.be/PlhPNntsMqQ ..... there ya go......... what a great stick.
Very nice .. I've barely even touched the features of the Taranis ... just the basics so far. Telemetry is built in ... but N/A for now since I'm still using the FlySky/TGY receivers (not going over LOS - so it's not a challenge - yet). But with an OpenLRS module on the radio, should be interesting. Witey's package arrived. Hooked up the 3DR radio, voltage module, GPS and got it working without a hitch. I did not know APM had an Android app that supports the 3DR via OTG .. so no bulky laptops needed. The app supports waypoints and "follow me". Setting up OSD but with limited telemetry data as the critical ones are already provided by MP. Should have taken the plunge earlier ... but maybe it's good I did not .. the bugs are minimal if any.
Sounds like you are all over it....... with surprises.......I am working on a couple of projects at the moment while I am off for a few days........ my FPV plane (yes I did go fixed wing but CnB)........ so now with a few left over retired quad pieces and some Turnigy er9x magic I am about to go quadplaning........also the RCkite has been dusted off for those hotter days flying and my Auto G2 has now got a KK2 board fitted for extra stability....... the passion is still in the 4 bladers... (hate the word DRONE!)...... and the upsidedown machines props arrived so its back to downunder skool (again)..... life fun and has its challanges,., but it makes you think .........
Mooch ... can you vid your RCkite? I did a nose plant and had to epoxy the spar - all is well. What is CnB (Crash and Burn ???). Quadplaning ... quad and airplane? Tilt motor? Never got my AutoG off the ground properly .. I put a gyro on the ailerons ... must have put it incorrectly because the AutoG when inverted ... Found some excellent ParaSails for a song and may have my Belatrike up and flying - tested parasail kiting and the Angle of Attack looks good.
I will do a vid on the kite ....... BTW what size prop did you use?........ I am using a 7" as I dont think it will need much to keep it afloat........ CnB (tick)............ quadplaning has evolved in my garage..... I am using my old KKkat frame strapped to my FPV plane which I put approx 10hrs into and never did more that a pick up pieces so not wanting to throw away a perfectly good opportunity, plus I was going to build one of those VTOL bixlers with the 2 wing pods and tilting motors I thought this was a kind of "compromise"........ whadda machine!....... looks awesome...... got the KK board controlling the whole thing...... we are all set except for a few minor glitches (rudder on the plane goes left while the copter is yawing right....... but once that is sorted..... up up and away (UU&A).......... I also CnBed the autoG2 so now it also has a KK board controlling it which is flashed with the openaero2 firmware so hopefully that will assist........ I looked at your mirco lite and thought....... cant fit another project in at the moment as there are still 4 in progress (kite, quadplane, autoG2 and the upsidedown copter)........... cheers. and stay tuned......
While we are talking Deaths, Births and remarriages (DBnR)....... my asdak finally passes away quietly 2 nights ago..... the cause is unknow as the battery was charged....... but all attempts to revive it failed....... it was a great camera and took not only beautiful life like colours but it endure beatings and crashes far beyond what I would have expected....... the amount of times I picked it up out of the wreckage thinking to myself that "that will never work again" and the screen flashed and came to life simply was the true test of a great camera with great character and features......... It will be sadly missed......
SO I removed the battery, chucked it in the bin and got a new one exactly the same of fleebay....... dont be sentimental when it comes to "things" as often things can be replaced ......... lets move on!!
I use 7 in flow flies on the RC Kite .. smaller makes a lot of noise with not thrust and bigger has a lot of torque the motor stand does not like. I was wondering about the KK on the Autogyro .. that model has my head twisted .. if you tilt the rotor head to the right ...it's suppose to bank right therefore the gyro needs to counter the "right" pull motion ??? Still struggling with that ... but good luck on your AutoGyro quest ... that and the Belatrike is on my hit list. Sorry to hear about your camera .. which is why I got two units (he, he...) just in case because the price then was only half of the GoPro ... Never really crashed mine .. yet ... the Sony Webbie was buried several inches into the soft ground ... but still works. Can't wait to see your quadraplane ...
The autoG2 after much trolling the net while waiting for parts, I stumbled across a feature whereby the wiring in the directions were wrong which would cause the rotor to tilt the wrong way as compared to the stick input....... so maybe you were not wrong........ standing behind the copter as its flying away when you stick right the rotor should tilt RHS down, LHS up so the copter banks right..... right???........
target=_blank> target=_blank> target=_blank>
Hmmm very interesting ... what would happen if the motors are placed in the Quad plus format ... motors on the wings, nose and rear fuse ... mounted on platforms glued to the foam .... take of and land with the multi and transition to forward flight using the motors ... less weight, less parts ... Throttle control to the airplane on a rotary switch ... ailerons/ele/yaw y-harnessed to Rx outputs ...
Still a WIP at the moment. sure its heavy but the idea is to give me enough lift to be able to drive it like a plane....... and assist TO & landings...... all the A/E/Rs are on Y harnesses,,,,,,the main motor is on the throttle channel and the quad motors are on P1 pot. I tried it out yesterday (just the quad only) and it will lift the plane off the ground and that is with a 3S...... aces still up the sleeves are....... 4S battery...... Y harness the motors together,,,,,,,,,,, add a HUGE motor to the plane to push the added weight..... its a "suckitnsee" project while I watch over the wife while the kids are away enjoying our holiday that we had planned........ that and housework......
Scratch the four motors .. I think a tri-copter is most suited. Two on the wings and one on the rear fuse. Yaw tied servo tied to rudder servo ... one and same anyway. Rotors on throttle, airplane motor on a rotary. Take off with Tri ... set to alt-hold (I would have a MWC pro on board .. why not?) then power motor, back off throttle to gain speed. When landing, stop plane motor, get tri running and hover down. Would be perfect for long distance FPV - when the area is reached, switch to tri for videos/photos ... return and land as tri ... no need for a stretch of area to land ....
Has not been tried but I know it works ... single blade props that would feather to reduce drag on forward flight.
Hmmm..... not really into the tris....... but the idea sounds the right fit......I will keep you posted......

Psssstt Mooch .. the Witey 32 Acro Pro boards now supports Sonar ... not tried it yet but I've seen the super secret video (I kid) of how to enable the cheap HS 04 on the board via CLI ... might bring back the smaller board to the 250 ... again.
Thanks Majy.... is that via cleanflight?...... if so I am on the same page.....
Hey Maj,..... have you seen the mini Hex..... Hmmm..... I wonder.
Yes to the Cleanflight configurator but take note the latest ver does not have Sonar as an option although the Sonar sensor turns green ... Tested it out in freezing temps and the baro went loco in the coco ... No to the mini Hex ... based on my experience with the Hex, it is more "difficult" to fly and is more susceptible to wind .. looks cool though.
*******youtu.be/seVDPjSFRrE NOT this board but its a hot topic..
Witey board works well ... just be careful to follow the instructions to the letter ... just need to adjust the PID for my Bamter which is lighter than the fully loaded Blackout ...
Awesome morning flying today...... took out the blackout with the cobras and ran a 4S through it.... (how fast is fast??)....... did the final commissioning of the witeking with my new Graupner MX16 radio....... ran the 330 with the 1.3ghz FPV (aint that the bees knees)...... and took Slick out for a stroll.......... then came the heat...... 45 degrees C here at the moment....so its the pool, a slurpy and a snooze...... its been a freakin hot hectic week.......
Ehhhhh 40 F here and reach 26 F ... living inside a freezer ... not cool .. tried flying multirotor ... sensors gone bananas ... like it suffered a seizure.

Guys, what's I2C? is it built in Multi wii board or external module need to connect to Multi wii? Thanks
If you look at the picture of the board in the ad .. the two I2C ports are those found at the bottom edge of the controller ... This where you would connect external shields to the board that use the I2C protocol..

Finally had time to make the 3DR radio video for use with the MWC Pro board and EZGUI (aside from BT of course). The 3DR radio needs to be configured using the 3DR tool that can be downloaded from the same site as WinGUI.
Maj, what's the range?
Much futher than the approx 60 meters of blue tooth in open space. Using proper antennas matched to the radio's operating frequency, beyond 1 mile .. something one would probably not be doing with a multirotor given it's short flight time.
I see. I just purchase one from Hobby King. Not exactly same as your 3DR, but function looks same.
My radio units are in a case ... and are the same as those here at HK. These are configured for the APM Ardu FC but can be tweaked for Multiwii ... if you are planning to use these for EZGUI / MWC, find the OTG cable suitable for your tablet/smartphone.

Guys, I calabrate the ESC by FC board. Previously I calibrate manually before asembly. At that time I can arm the board without motor spinning. My Throttle and Yaw settings are 100% ~ -3% and 103% ~ -103%. After I re-calibrate again by Arduino and Controller Board, motor start spinning when I arm. When I calibrate, I set throttle 100-0 %, after calibration, I change 100 ~ -3%, but motor still spinning. and I change the CODE #define ESC_CALIB_LOW 1150 from MINCOMMAND. Still spinning. I don't like that setting. I want to arm without spinning the motors. What shall I do?
newbee 550mm
KYAW, Have you commented out the line where it says Motor stop? Go to the config H section and go towards the bottom to "motor, Servo and other presets", under there you will see this /* motors will not spin when the throttle command is in low position this is an alternative method to stop immediately the motors */ #define MOTOR_STOP,,,!!! This will make it so when you have "0" throttle input your props will not be spinning untill you move throttle up. What version of MW are you running?
Kyaw ... congratulate yourself ... you have a normally functioning board ... just remember to return your low min to default if you plan to use failsafe ...
Maj, I found that line (/*#define MOTOR_STOP) will edit later and get back to you. My GPS is also working very well, That UBLOX LEA 6H GPS is very fast and accurate. By the way,Can we set GPS_HOME in fale safe?
Hi New Bee, I'll edit that line and will feed backhere. Thanks!
RTH failsafe will not activate RTH, only a slow decent ... if you want failsafe RTH, do not enable MWC failsafe and use your receiver's failsafe. Set receiver FS to activate the correct switch when signal is lost. Have not tried this as my Rx has no FS ...
Hi Maj, Thanks for your Info, I saw some code in this post ***********multiwii****/forum/viewtopic.php?f=8&t=29
What do you think? Hi Newbee, the motor stop works. Thanks a lot too. :)
This MWC forum discusses the failsafe RTH question "http : // w w w. multiwii. com/ forum/viewtopic.php?f=8&t=4672&sid=2da19b3bbf017bc0c
(take out the spaces) if your Tx/Rx is capable of FS, program the sticks and swiches as needed to initiate FS RTH - i.e. throttle, RTH, alt-hold ... bench test looking at the GUI to make sure at least the FX transition works. One question is what happens when radio signal returns? Depends on your radio features - which is why it needs to be bench tested.
Nuts ...." Multiwii forum, RTH as a failsafe option " googles this ... first hit, several topics down.

STill have not been able to lock down the gps.No blinking lights...Nothing..I do plan on upgrading to a Ublox but in the meantime stuck with the MTK. I did all the steps in Mooch's video and still nothin. Switch leads around...Nada.SO heres maybe the problem?? The MTK GPS receiver is a MTK 3329 board, Do I need to change anything in the sketch for that? Undefined serial 2, the baud rate of 11520, Init mtk and still nothing...Put it outside for like an hr and still no signal...
Just curious? What lines did you uncomment in the GPS section and at what rate did you set to Serial 2? What are the connections you made between the FC and the GPS? Look closely at the GPS unit ... there is a very faint LED that lights up when you power it via via the board ... if for some reason, the connections were not correct (i.e. VCC going to the rx or tx or ground for that matter ..) you could have burned out the GPS unit.
There is a posted doc in the Files "Changing the MKT GPS rates" ... with an FTDI or Silabs serial port adapter ... hook your GPS unit cross connected to the adaptor. Fire up the MKT tool program and try connecting to your unit ... you may need to play with connection speed. If your unit is still functioning, you should be able to see GPS activity. If not, the 5v regulator may be shot. There is a workaround by tapping the 3.3V rail of the GPS and connecting to the I2C 3.3 V vcc line ... if you are interested.
so I uncommented in the GPS section define GPS_SERIAL 2 // should be 2 for flyduino v2. Baud rate of 11520 define INIT_MTK_GPS // initialize MTK GPS for using selected speed, 5Hz update rate and GGA & RMC sentence or binary settings I used the connector that came with the unit a 4 pin female/female connector. all the wires that are marked i believe were connected correctly. The only ones I switched were the tx/rx connections just to make sure they werent installed correctly from the factory and they still didnt work I Have never seen a faint little LED light at all on the gps unit Ill try changing the MTK gps rates What should they be at?
Hi Tre ... one more GPS line ... define NMEA ... cross connected Rx/Tx right? The GPS LED can be very faint ... you need to stare at the underside of the unit to see it ... check there is continuity with the wires as well ... several Dupont wires have caused the untimely fall of my already space head covering ... if that LED is not lit, the unit is NOT getting power.
Baud rate at 115200 ... sorry missed the question ...

Maj, if you make the rounds today, I have a quick stupis question. I ran into my first issue with my Taranis. HK only send this radio now with a "Niacad" battey pack and they send it with no charger and sugjest over chat assistance that we use a 6vt nicad charger. I did and the radio is telling me in the display that I am tripping a "charge circuit" internally in the radio! So we wont be using that anymore! What gives? I baught a replacement 2200Mah 11.1vt lipo to reoplace the one in the 9X that wont fit, can I use this in the Taranis? It say in the instructions it will handle the 11.1 volts but how do you plug it in. There appears to be two seperate power plug ins in the battery bay? Any insight since you already probably ran into this ?
Hi Newey ... 100% correct and I did a workaround as well (he, he ..) let me take pictures ... better than me typing out what I did with my fat fingers ...
target=_blank>Connector target=_blank>Batteries target=_blank>Placementtarget=_blank>Tucked In Newey ... hope the pix come out ... I use the Life and Lipo bats for radios ... smaller than the regular 3S Lipo but well suited for the job. The regular 3S lipo will not fit ... unless you mode the holder. Important to make the wire converter from the 3S balancing port to a 2S balancing port plug ... (three wires) ... look carefully at the NIMh battery pack for polarity ... if you don't have a 2S connector, get a 3S connector from a Lipo that has said bye-bye and cut off a portion making sure you can insert it without an issue.
Got the Ublox CN06 to work for the APM in airplane mode ... did the Ublox txt. update ... no go. Took the config file from a working MWC Ublox GPS and updated baud at 38400 (in the tool), saved, then uploaded the txt file that to the APM bound Ublox ... after a while .. whalla ... 7 sats inside the house. Did not take notes and I will probably forget what I did ... but for now, I have the APM 2.5 working on MP with GPS ...
target=_blank>APM 2.5 Tada .... sat fixes finally. Also found the documentation on how to set the APM for airplanes .... it was tucked somewhere in a cave rolled up in a scroll with spider webs all around ... I kid of course.
newbee 550mm
That was exactly what I was hoping you would say,,and yes I have a couple of old batts I can rob a balance port from. As far as the APM 2.5,,,,wifey is twodays at a "New Poloticians" class 100 mile3s from here for two days of peice and quiet, so can jump in now. I'm jealous, and that is a good motivator buddy,,,thanks a bunch.
newbee 550mm
One quick thing I picked up from your comment. The Ublox comes unloaded?...or is it the most current software was what your goal was? I know as per "paul" to upload most current to board,,,,but the GPS too? I guess it would have to be that way as,, "how do I know how long this widget is going to stay on this shelf mantality" would have to dictate what to load on to a given piece of hardware, so I guess that makes sence. Not looking forward to rumaging through that dark cave though,,,looking for the dead sea scrolls for the "how to do it's",,,,,lol,,,,but I'll get there eventually,,,lol. Should have some pics today on where the crash victim is in the rebirth,,,,lol. Twin boom, twin rudder (w/dual servos), massive elevator(center push-pull servo/rear-mounted, and sliding/adjusting CG tail assembly are some of the goodies. Found that the EPP foam likes airbrush acrylic paints in water base, so it will look alittle different and not have all that advertising on it anymore either. Will be a relaxing US NAVY Grey with appropriate pin stripping where nessisary,,,,he he
Hi Newey ... I can point to where the cave is ... NP. Wow an honest to goodness military colored drone that looks like the twin boom Mugin UAV - that will inspire a lot of people ... just kidding. Sliding tail assembly? Now that's a real first ... curious to see how your empenage is attached. If you buy the kit from Witey, the GPS comes preconfigured ... I went cheap .. because I had several Ublox units at hand ... When the wife is away, Newey can play .... double check before you cut ... double check polarity before you plug it in ...
newbee 550mm
I am familiar with the "Mugin 4450". As that was a target model that I intend to build from scratch from 1/32 kevlar 200 weave and resin after Christmas, and powered by small "Huscavarna" 1 1/2 horse two cycle chainsaw motor. That one will take a year to compleat as I have the plans hear now,,, and have put in my wood order with "Bobs Hobby" in lewiston last week and the wood alone cost me 3 hundred bucks. This will be the biggest model endevor (fixed wing) I have ever done. The EPP conversion is going to let me know where the pitfalls and reality are,,,,in that technology has finally caught up with my insperation to build this in a gas rather than "Nitro" configuration. As far as the APM, I baught it already and it's on the bench.
newbee 550mm
The version I got from Paul was the all inclusive kit, excluding additional telem radio that I just could not get my head wrapped around why I would need it, untill paul wrote me back that that was the option I ordered, but that if I wanted to be able to track in real time where my craft was on the laptop monitor then I would need to order the Radio and seperate reciever to buffer in my feed to computer to track in real time. I will still get craft status info from OSD, but OSD has no method of tracking your craft. So once I get my feet wet,,,,there is another $100.00 to be able to demonstrate all of this next summer for the trade fair in Moscow Idaho, and then hear at the County fair. Appears we reelected the same Governor that blanket banded all use of multirotors, so I will still be part of the "Idaho Airial Bootleggers Ass." for awhile more.
The MP flight planner can be tracked real time from the FC to your ground station to your laptop ... watch you model complete the waypoints and give it's exact location on the map in real time ... something OSD cannot do - yet. Can't comment on your Gov, but the same law here in NJ was not passed. Your Mugin model would require a real runway to take off from and land ... that's going to be huge to say the least.

Guys!!! Help!!.. i am not able to make the board detect the controller signal, not matter what, cleaned eeprom, re-flashed, changed receptor cables, try conecting the receptor directly to the esc and worked... really i think i have tested with every thing i know... i realy dont know what to do, i im wondering that all the multiwii input pines are damaged.. :( my set up is: Qbrain 24A MultiWii Pro woth MKT HK T6A V2 mode 2 Controller HK T6A V2 receptor
MvS....one vital piece of info missing is what did you do..... so here is how the Q should go...... A- I just got this board and I am stuck, never flown it so ..... or B- I was flying this board a heap and yesterday I accidentally went .......... that type of information definitely helps me assess the situ..... did you follow the correct steps........ please watch and see...... we are here to help and I hope I am not coming across as an dipsy doodle but end game we need to know where you went left...... cheers
Maria V. Sanabri
Hi Moochasas, thanks for answering..this is a new board...I received it a few weeks ago and from the beginning it has been always the same no signal detection..I had followed all the steps on that video and a few more on YouTube... nothing worked, never fly... thanks for your help
Ok, now we are cookin....... in the purple section above there is a file about half way down called Everything you need to know video........ that vid shows everything you need from DLing the drivers to how to set up the board...... if you are new like you this can be a shocker of a ride but it doesnt have to be...... the one thing with this board like all the other MW boards is that it needs to be set up in a certain way and the steps need to be followed otherwise ........ well you know the otherwise........ you find yourself here going HELP.... NOW....... I am about to stomp all over this board... and how do I know what you are thinking...... been there done that got the broken props to prove it....... have a look at the vid I mentioned..... go to my Youtube channel and have a look at some of the other set up vids..... and a couple of coffees later you will be an alcoholic.... just kiddin..... and when you do come back 2 things...... tell us where you got up to and where you may have turned left and if you dont know say so and more importantly #2...... dont be scared to ask for help as none of us (except Maj I think) had troubles setting up this board....... hope that helps and remember we are here to help...... H2H...... take it easy.
A little something to keep you inspired.... here is my MWpro in action.......
"Check and test your radio inputs ensuring they are correct." Easy enough if a) the Arduino servo rule of ground outer, power center and inner signal was followed b) radio display show the stick throws properly c) properly bound rx to tx d) connectors are not defective and e) a common mistake of using the MWC 2.3 Nav sketch as-is without commenting back the ppm lines so the board can see a regular receiver ...

Ok Guys..Still have not been able to lock down a satellite signal yet. I took it outside and set it out in the open ( I live in the country and have nothing around) with the battery connected to it..Managed to kill the battery and now it wont charge but that s another problem. Anyway could it be that I have the gps unit in a protective case that its not locking on to a satellite? Is the green GPS signal button in the wingui supposed to blink or have a solid color? thanks again...
The green GPS signal light should be blinking ... outdoors when given ample time, you should have at least 8 sats. I was just testing my Hex in the basement .... got enough sats (five needed) to enable PH and RTH ... would have been more outdoors. This is MWC 2.3 official with a Ublox at 38400 baud connected to Serial 2. I was about to do some tests as I noted mag dec shifted slightly and with the temp drop would face gyro drift issues.
Tiago Andre
u need config it in arduino select port com baud speed and gps model after that color must be green u can download pdf files with the configs on files selection
Don't look at the previous posts as reference. a) How did you connect your GPS (rx to where ???). b) What GPS are you using? c) What lines in config.h for the GPS section? d) What lines for the Serial Baud rate section? Since your green light indicator is not blinking, I assume your GPS LED on the board is not blinking either.
I have been using the MTK reciver that came with the Multiwii FC. I have it plugged into the port at the top middle of the board. I used the GPS config file in the files section as a guide so I believe all of those are correct. No blinking LED on the board.
Tre .. the pdf GPS config.h file by EOSBandi? That was put together for R33 release ... you probably have MWC 2.3 (maybe even the Nav beta) and those instructions will not work because it assumes you will configure the MKT using the MKT config software outside Multiwii. Since 2.2 GPS will be self-configured assuming you uncomment the correct lines which would be a) NMEA, b) Serial 2 c) 115200 Baud and d) Init_MKT. Plugging the GPS to the Serial port tx-tx, rx-rx will also not work as the GPS has to be cross connected rx-tx, tx-rx. GPS unit needs to be at least 10 cm above the board - look at the DJI GPS pictures to get an idea. Lastly, input your mag dec (with the "f") before you try PH or RTH - otherwise you will have a circle flying copter in your hands. Should behave something like this if all is correct.
So what is the outside MKT config software that I should use? Do you guys think I should jump ship on MWC 2.3 and just use 2.2? This can be so complicated that its sometimes spinning my head. If I use 2.2 what a good file up abobe in the file section that has the configurations that will be the easiest on me and my tiny little brain???

Trevor, just to add if you follow Majik's proceedure to the letter, your MTK will light up. That being said IMO the 2.2 is a good place to START as it is the most reliable in my opinion for noob's (we all were there once),, to get their feet wet. Also this opinion is shared but wont be talked about much (polotics),,,,the MTK is a pile. Spend $17.00 (international) and $21.00 (USA) and buy the NEO-6 "ublox" GPS unit,,, the lines are there to comment on the "UBLOX",,,serial 2, baud speed 38400, do not comment "NEMA", do not comment on "initiate MTK, and your little NEO will work 5 times as good as the MTK. Again I will say that what Maj says about set up will be the same with the NEO-6 as with the MTK unit Rx to Tx and Tx to Rx. Im rural out in Idaho Trevor and on real good days out in the middle of nowhere in the northwest USA, the best I have been able to lock up was 10 satalites at once, and average 9.
Thank you for the suggestion.. I think Im going to switch over to 2.2 as Im extremely new at this and my wife is wondering why I continue to stare at this piece of plastic in the living room ignoring my children in the meantime. Ill plunk down for the UBlox as well. I have looked at the cable that goes from tx to rx and it does seem that they are in the correct position.
Tre ... I concur with Newey 200% ... MWC 2.2 does not have the quirks of 2.3 specially with the throttle and alt-hold. As you are finding out, the learning curve can be steep but that's because of the brain d u m p s regarding configuration and best practice - but don't let that stop you or slow you down. If you hit a speed***p, just reach out ... as a wise person once said, the only st**** questions are those not asked.
Watch Mooch's video end to end ... just watch it first to get a bird's eye view. When you have the bits and bobs ready, watch it again this time with the board, USB cord ready ... be prepared to stop rewind, rewind and rewind until you get it. You'll have a functioning board sooner than you think. Just note, Mooch talks about the GPS .... make the changes for the MKT vs Ublox ... you should be okay.

Trevor we all have had our wives look at us like we have lost it,,, with that glaring look at us like "Do you know how many blowses and outfits I could have baught with that money?",,,,yea we have all been there. Being able to pat yourself on the back for suceeding to the next level,,,,,priceless!!!! Remember this one thing,,,,,, we learn to walk first (software/hardware functionality),,then we fly. Trust me from hundreds of dollars of "I wish I hadn't done that",,,,you will get just as much a feeling of "yeehaw" when she is up and functioning properly ((( Propellers OFF ))) sitting on the table,,as you will the first successful hover. It's one step at a time. The old learning curve. Wealth of knowledge here from all over the world,,,dont give up!,,,and never be affraid of coming back and ask for help,,,this site is all about paying it forward,,,jsy visit and watch it work. Happy safe flying!!
Never give up...... and the curve is always bent...... film your flights so you can see not only what is going on but where you need to improve and tweak...... enjoy.... this machine is going up tomorrow with a 1.3ghz FPV set up ......... weather permitting.... pics at 11....
Psst ... Newey, I found a way to use those four and two pin Molex 1.25 connectors for the APM 2.5 board ...turns out you can use the connectors side by side. Need a magnifying glass though as these are so tiny. Also the SSS model has a shelf under the wing with access from the top - perfect for the board.
newbee 550mm
Hey Mooch I will be waiting patiently for the vids. I have the whole sytem on my wish list at whitey, so I will beat back the jealousy untill I see how good the picture you get at distance is,,,,lol
We have water coming out of the sky..... so we are grounded.....but I will do awalkaroundvid on the gear for you....... its either that or house work...... I choose VID......
newbee 550mm
Thanks Mooch that would be great. I'm tossed at the idea of weather to go for the big wattage on the 1.3Ghz or start out sencibly with a 500Mwt Tx and see if the picture is better enough to warrent the extra cost.
newbee 550mm
And Maj, I have not even powered up yet. I just downloaded the mission planner for APM on the laptop. Have a frozen skid steer over here to get out of the shop, and hang a snowplow on a four wheeler before I can get back to mad science.
Just getting my feet wet with MP as well ... but these Molex connectors are driving me up the wall ... anywhoooo ... figured out the firmware upload, calibrations and diagram for hooking up the bits and bobs ... needed to dig around for that. I might jury rig a GPS just to see if the whole thing works as it should ... well minus the actual servos (which needs to be powered separately ...)

Guys, new thread. I got the input on the ESC's thanks, but,,,I was talking about a ESC system for twin engine fixed wing. Is there anything special? or will paralell plumbing the wiring work? What controls keeping both motors in synk. Has anyone had to play with this. Regulating power to both motors,,,is that controled threw a third moduel? Oh and just so you guys in the south can feel warm a snuggy in your bed,,,,It was 16 degreez this moring and blowing with snow and the same temps forcasted for a week. Thats 15 below zero for you Mooch! Dont thinks well be flying around here for awhile. Idaho,,,,got love it.
Ohhh ... you Y-harness two ESC's just be sure they have the same calibration and settings which you can also do through the Y-harness. The only caveat is that the two motors need to counter rotate otherwise you get double the torque motion. The two motors will always be in sync (assuming everything else equal) as they get one signal from the receiver. Plug the ESC's to the same Lipo as you would multirotors ... see that was easy. 16 Deg and snow? So our NJ of 50 deg F is like summer then .... Played around with the APM 2.5 last night and after 15 minutes was ready to calibrate the radio throws without touching a line of code .... miles of where is was a few short years ago. Mission Planner was showing a working compass, baro and accel ... this is sweet to say the least.

Well now your ahead of the bell curve now. Mine wont get fired up untill next week after all the glue dries,,,,he he Have repaired the wing and am in the thrulls of redesign now. Twin tail "V-Bat" style rudder/elevator.
I have a question about this. My quad has four ESCs and four motors (no surprise there I suspect). I followed the directions to calibrate the ESCs and the motors all start and stop at the same time and seem to be in sync. I'm curious about why one would need something other than just calibrating the ESCs on a two-motor fixed-wing aircraft to accomplish the synchronization. I have flown RC aircraft for some time now but never one with more than one motor. Not challenging the wisdom of the plumbing - just curious. BTW, yesterday I was outside in a short sleeved shirt for most of the day. Today I, too, woke up in Idaho to temps in the teens F and snow. Small world.
cipher ... if I were to answer your question, nothing else except calibration that is assuming you have both ESC's programmed identically and have counter rotation props. Say for example one (the left wing) was programmed to do a hard cut-off when the voltage drops to 3.9 v and with brakes on ... While you are flying you decide to chop your throttle ... now because the left motor is stopped, the drag is on the right motor and your plan turns right ... not a good feeling. So you continue your flight ... but the left ESC cuts out at 3.9 volts and stops working ... your right motor now wants to make the model turn left .... if you do not immediately compensate right rudder, you could end up in a crash as the plane will probably spin on its axis ...
Newey, make the prop rotations such that each prop's torque tends to lift the fuselage side of it's wing, so if you loose a motor, the remaining torque helps level the aircraft instead of twisting you into a spin. You will also need to be sure that adequate rudder authority is available to counter act an engine loss.
newbee 550mm
All good points Gordo. Temps dropped to ( 0F ) with a breeze this morning and am questioning even bothering to try and warm up the shop today to continue to build on the FPV wing. Hey,,,,, input on wood on wood glues availible today that people have tried that has quick strong bonding time? I got access to HK curtailed for a few days as I was one of the "password" problems they are experiancing right now, so getting on here is hit and miss. I hope all warm and tucked into a large indoor play area and safe! My son called from Wyoming and they are -25 and the wind chill has it even colder at -40F out in the wind! Ouch! I will be looking back here for input on wood on wood glue likes and dislikes even if I cant get access,,,,cheers happy building everyone.
Newey ... i've use the Gorilla glue PVA glue (expands with some moisture needed) with some success ... but be careful of its expanding properties. For smaller projects, regular medium CA glue wonders ...specially on fingers when I was careless. I had those password issues too ... they do not "take" and error out - had to reset mine for the account to work again. Anywhooo 68 / 64 here ... no complaints. target=_blank>68 / 64

just a quick question i have notice the alt hold has around a 2 metre variance up and down , not too bad i guess was wondering if changing the P I D s help any ? regards peter
AFAIK ... MWC 2.3 has the best alt-hold ... and the accuracy is "okay" for the 550 gr frame and AUW of about 1.5 kg ... all on stock PID. Bigger than that I cannot tell - don't have that size. Anywhooo ... very important to have open cell foam over the baro ... If you want pin point alt-hold, you would need a sonar ... which is not supported by MWC yet.
hi majik thanks for that information being tying to find the afaik download do you have a link to that site

Sorry, some of my writing in first post is not very clear. My setup in GPSHOLD and GPSHOME deosn't seem working. If I arm the Hex, I can see indicator on EZ GUI, When I switch GPSHOLD and GPSHOME, there is not indicator in EZ GUI. is this because GPS is not locked? Now I have better GPS Unit. UBLOX LEA 6H. Hope that will solve the problem? Am I right?
If you do not have enough sat fixes, MWC will not enable PH or RTH.

Great unit, with all the features you need for your MC. And the price is awsome, so normally, you cannot make a mistke on buying this unit.If you buy this features in europe, you will pay 3 times as much or more. For the HK price, you get at least the gps module ( sometimes ) but not incluiding the board, wich has a big and powerfull processor also. So another time, where HK makes our hobby affordable. This is what the MC-Flyers need to upgrade their machines.

Received the board today from HobbyKing . After reading about all the broken Micro USB connectors on other FC like the Crius AIOP , I had a good look at the USB connector BEFORE connecting anything. The micro USB connector is soldered to the board at the rear corners and also has 2 tabs half way down the sides. Close inspection reveals that it does NOT have a lot of solder to hold it in place and YES it is likely to break off without some extra solder. The side tabs do not appear to have been well soldered, my guess, surface mount automated soldering has not applied sufficient heat to get the solder flowing well around the tabs which are part of the larger metal connector shell, using a fine tipped soldering iron, care is required specially on the side near the pin headers, re soldered the metal tabs and also the rear corners of the connector, I don't think it will come off now. Do keep in mind that is a very small connector and the cable can be used to apply sufficient leverage to rip it clean off the board, no amount of extra solder will prevent that, so be real careful not to apply sideways forces to the cable when plugged into the board. The quality of the board, the soldering of all the other components, I can't fault it, all looks excellent. Lots of information now in the files tab for the product at HobbyKing. I connected the GPS to Serial 2, and the flashing LED
PAc3R 10/10/2012
Great Board. Using Multiwii Dev, and The AdruCoper Firm. Position hold, works... ok. for the price who cares!! Pressure sensor, old, but will work ok with foam mounted over sensor.
majik01 11/10/2012
Flies very well with the MWC 2.1 sketch. Other are trying MPNG and are close to success ...

today i had my first flight with this board! I have megapirate on it and its working fine:) will try to make som video soon.

F�r den preis ein super Board. F�r Leute die gerne experimentieren eine tolle Sache. Auch das GPS funktioniert, obwohl ich am Anfang Probleme mit den Anschl�ssen hatte, die RX und AX m�ssen umgikehr angeschlossen werden.Guck Fragen
Pet:o) 10/12/2012
I have only one issue with the board, I could not flash Multiwii PRO board using USB port. But I solder a FTDI header on the board and everything is ok. I don't know what is wrong with USB, I can setup the board using usb but I could not flash firmware to the board and also could not get sensor values from the board. I don't know, maybe it is issue with bootloader and/or firmware, but never mind, I have a workaround :-) ... I'm going to try a MegapirateNG... So buy this board! you can't find better board gps combo for that price.
AVRBrasil 13/12/2012
Al�m de funcionar muito bem com o firmware Multiwii, tamb�m funciona com o firmware MegaPirate NG com pequenas modifica��es.

very good product!!!
Ken Schellenberg 13/02/2013
Great board, great sensors, functional in every way, except for the micro usb connector which just lifts off the board when you least expect it! I bought two of these and the connectors cost me a lot of time and trouble when they broke off. The way the USB interface is done on MultiWii Lite board is better. At least it doesn't break off. HobbyKing, can you put a better connector on these boards? That tiny connector spoils an otherwise excellent product.
StevenC 2/03/2013
Like everybody else said, the USB plug looks quite flimsy. I used some epoxy glue around it to make it stronger. If you don't plan to use a separate BEC to power the board, then make sure you get some servo wires so you can connect it to your receiver. I haven't had a chance of flying this board yet as I am waiting for a replacement motor to arrive. I will post another review once I get this thing to fly :)
Viper_one3 6/03/2013
A great control board! It has all the great functions that expensive controller board has. It's a bit tricky to flash and set up but there are great instructions all over the internet, you must just know how to read and use Google. I'm not familiar whit programming at all. By just following the instructions to the letter helped me to set up the board. If you are new to multicopters go whit the KK2 board instead.
MrScsi 9/03/2013
This board performs admirably especially for the price. I haven't had the USB connection issue that most seem to suffer from but since I put pins in all available holes if it does break off I do have other options. The reason I put pins in all available holes was to use Bluetooth and for multi-Wii Bluetooth uses serial zero and for MegaPirate NG it uses serial port 3. The board flies pretty stable I'm using MegaPirate NG but I'm sure it would do the same with multi-Wii. The barometer is very touchy and needs to be covered with foam (not glued to it) and I would recommend covering the entire board with a Dome just to keep the prop wash away from the barometer. You can also use the HC-SR04 sonar with MegaPirate NG 2.7 with this board.
Sickness 27/03/2013
so with some software correction this controller is very good.btw will fly and as it arrive.
BklynFlyer 30/03/2013
great board takes a little work but it has great features
richwizard 18/04/2013
nice multicopter controller with GPS module
sebdel 25/04/2013
You won't get a better autopilot for this price yet.

Your home studio mix – recording tips for better results
The mixing puzzle isn't just a panning issue, but also a frequency issue. What frequencies are overlapping? It's common with people who are inexperienced, you're going to take each instrument and solo it, and you're going to EQ and add effects and say, "Yeah! That's the bass sound I want!" Then all of a sudden you put it into the track, and the bass sounds terrible. When you're dealing with EQ and effects, you need to listen to it among multiple tracks to help you to carve out the space. Read more.

The White Martyrdom of Kateri Tekakwitha
her marry. Now, well-meaning friends urged her to wed. They reminded her often of the social and economic hardships a single woman would face. Kateri listened to them, but she knew she would never marry. Moreover, the thought of poverty, hunger, and scorn did not frighten her in the least. Those were trivial things and her heart looked to Jesus alone for comfort.
Kateri took these concerns to her spiritual direction. She told him of her desire to renounce marriage and its worldly advantages forever. She wanted to dedicate her entire being to Jesus.
On the Feast of the Annunciation, 1679, Kateri knelt to receive Holy Communion in the mission chapel. Then, having received the Lord, she dedicated herself to Him forever. She offered her body to Christ on the Cross and her soul to Him in the Eucharist.
The scarred, half-blind orphan of Ossernenon had become a Bride of Christ, the consecrated virgin at the Mission on the Sault. Kateri had truly died to the world and sought only to continue her pilgrimage to Him. Her companions and mentors could see that she never lost sight of Him. In everything she did or said, she sought to be one with Him and His sufferings.
Kateri was strong in character and spirit but, from childhood, she had always been frail in body. She had never let this physical weakness stand in her way, especially in matters of devotion. Now, barely a year after her sublime vow, her indifferent health gave way to constant illness. She could no longer visit her dear chapel; the sickness confined her to her sleeping mat, too weak to move. Days and weeks went by in pain and solitude, but she welcomed this. She tenderly offered her suffering up to the Lord in place of her usual Lenten penance and spent the long, lonely hours in prayer, simply talking to Jesus and Mary.
Kateri Tekakwitha died on April 17, 1680, her last words - Iesos Kononronka - declared her love of Christ. The friends who knelt in prayer at her side then witnessed a wondrous transfiguration. The smallpox scars, the traces of her long illness, the remainders of all her sufferings vanished. Her features became beautiful, reflecting the radiance of her heavenly joy.
Blessed Kateri Tekakwitha was never required to lay down her life for the Lord she loved so greatly. It was that total and selfless love of Him that earned her the luminous crown of white martyrdom.
In 1980, Kateri Tekakwitha was beatified by Pope John Paul II. Efforts continue to have this holy young virgin a saint. Information on her canonization cause is available through the Tekakwitha League (www.katerileague.org).

Obama says America's possibilities are limitless'By JULIE PACE
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS | January 21,2013AP PHOTO
President Barack Obama waves after his speech while Vice President Joe Biden applauds at the ceremonial swearing-in at the U.S. Capitol during the 57th Presidential Inauguration in Washington on Monday.WASHINGTON Asserting Americas possibilities are limitless, President Barack Obama declared on Monday that a decade of war is ending and the nations economy is recovering as he launched into a second term before a flag-waving crowd of hundreds of thousands on the National Mall.
My fellow Americans, we are made for this moment, and we will seize it, so long as we seize it together, Obama said, moments after taking the oath of office on a crisp day in the nations capital.
The president didnt dwell on any first-term accomplishments but looked to hard work ahead in a country still grappling with a sluggish economy.
We must make the hard choices to reduce the cost of health care and the size of our deficit, he said. But we reject the belief that America must choose between caring for the generation that built this country and investing in the generation that will build its future.
Hundreds of thousands of people fanned out across the Mall, and millions more watched on television, as Obama took the oath of office to begin his second term.
Sandwiched between the bruising presidential campaign and looming fiscal fights, Mondays inaugural celebrations marked a brief respite from the partisan gridlock that has consumed the past two years.
Standing in front of the flag-bedecked Capitol, he implored Washington to find common ground over his next four years. And seeking to build on the public support that catapulted him to the White House twice, the president said the public has the obligation to shape the debates of our time.
Not only with the votes we cast, but with the voices we lift in defense of our most ancient values and enduring ideals, Obama said.
Looking ahead to his second-term agenda, the president said the nation must respond to the threat of climate change and tackle the comprehensive immigration reform that has eluded Washington for years.
Our journey is not complete until we find a better way to welcome the striving, hopeful immigrants who still see America as a land of opportunity, he said.
Moments earlier, Obama placed his hand on two Bibles one used by the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. and the other used by Abraham Lincoln and recited the brief oath of office. Michelle Obama held the Bibles, one on top of the other, as daughters Malia and Sasha looked on.
Vice President Joe Biden was also sworn in for his second term as the nations second in command.
Mondays oats were purely ceremonial. The Constitution stipulates that presidents begin their new term at noon on Jan. 20, and in keeping with that requirement, Obama was sworn in Sunday in a small ceremony at the White House.MORE IN Wire NewsISTANBUL U.S. Vice President Joe Biden on Friday became the latest in a parade of U.S. Full StoryBUFFALO, N.Y.

Atta Boy Roy runs second in swan song | Horse Racing
One of the fastest thoroughbreds in state history capped a brilliant career with a runner-up finish Friday in the $35,000 Swift Stakes at Turf Paradise in Phoenix.
Atta Boy Roy and jockey Daniel Vergara chased Streakin Mohican ($15.20) from flag-fall to finish but came up a length short as Streakin Mohican covered 5-½ furlongs in 1:02.08 on a fast track. Atta Boy Roy earned $6,860 and became only the fifth Washington-bred to surpass $600,000 in career earnings with $602,276.
An 8-year-old ridgling, Atta Boy Roy compiled a 14-8-1 record in 36 starts, topped by a gate-to-wire victory in the Grade 2 Churchill Downs Handicap on May 1, 2010.
Trained by Valorie Lund and owned by R.E.V. Racing (Roy Schaefer, Port Orchard), Atta Boy Roy also starred at Emerald Downs, where in 2009 he was voted Top Washington Bred and Top Sprinter after winning two stakes and breaking Grey Papa's 37-year-old state record for six furlongs with a 1:07 clocking in the Chinook Pass Stakes.
Atta Boy Roy (by Tribunal out of Irish Toast by Synastry) will be entering stud in 2013 at Blue Ribbon Farm in Buckley. He will stand for a fee of $2,000 live foal.
Streakin Mohican, a 6-year-old Florida-bred by Songandaprayer, has 10 wins in 36 starts and earnings of $378,923. Former Emerald Downs jockey Wilson Dieguez rode the gelding Friday.
Absolutely Cool, also a Washington-bred trained by Valorie Lund, finished third.

The Astros introduce Reid Ryan as their new president
May 17, 2013, 4:12 PM EST
Reid Ryan's tenure as president of the Astros began Friday, when Houston announced that the son of Hall of Fame pitcher Nolan Ryan would take over the role vacated by George Postolos … Ryan, previously the president and CEO of Ryan-Sanders Baseball, had been running the Triple-A Round Rock Express (Rangers) and Double-A Corpus Christi Hooks, both of which are owned by Nolan Ryan and Houston businessman Don Sanders, though the Astros also announced on Friday that they've reached an agreement to purchase the Corpus Christi club from Ryan-Sanders.
I think that last bit about the Astros buying one of Ryan's minor league teams is most interesting. Makes one wonder if, once its affiliation with the Rangers has expired, the Astros will go back to being an Astros affiliate, as it was between 2005-10. Given the recent trend of big clubs moving their farm teams closer to home, this could be part of a larger effort of the Astros to try to grow the brand farther north. Meanwhile, the Rangers have done stuff like hold exhibition games in San Antonio.
So clearly we're in for a Texas civil war soon.

Do you guys even proof read your articles when you write them????? "astros going back to being an astros affiliate"????
first you dont mention corpus christi (as astros) after mentioning round rock (as rangers)..then even though we know who our affiliations are,you dont mention which affiliation ending with the rangers(which would be the express) could lead to the express(not astros) going back to being an astros affiliation… which i think is what will happen!

Nolan threw hard. That is his extent of expertise on anything in life. I can't believe the Ryan's keep getting jobs based on how hard he threw 30 years ago. Anyone who has ever heard this inbred speak knows he's part hillbilly and part farm tool. On farms, they call these animals mules, or less formally "Asses". Asses are incapable of reproduction, and Reid didn't throw very hard, so I can only assume Nolan is a cuckold. Reid was still raised by Ryan, and likely speaks with the same redneck drawl. Reid's father "Uncle" is likely owed a favor by someone pretty powerful. Only nepotism or blackmail would allow a hillbilly like this to ever wear a suit to work, and not a set of corn pickin' overalls. Take that Advil and Git R Dun Ryan family.
There is this old Texas saying. Fool me once, shame on me. Fool me twice, shame on,…..shame on……see if you fool me once, you can't fool me again.

Nepotism is wonderful, if you're the one getting the undeserved jobs/promotions/money. It stinks for the rest of us, watching someone make their living the old-fashioned way–being born to the right person.
We know that Nolan knows his stuff. He knows more about baseball than any of us could ever hope to know. His son? Don't know. Could be as good as Peter O'Malley or Dan Rooney, could be a dipstick like Stephen Jones, Jim Irsay, Bidwill, Mike Brown, John Mara, and countless others. The one thing we know is how he got the job, and it wasn't on merit.
- alphapop - May 17, 2013 at 9:42 PM
mazblast: You might be able to claim nepotism for Reid Ryan being the CEO of the Ryan-Sanders Baseball, but not the Astros job. Nolan is the CEO of the Rangers, not the Astros. Reid Ryan has spent the last 12 years running two minor league clubs, so I would say he paid some dues.

Coastal Contrasts
... east along the Connecticut, Rhode Island and Massachusetts coastline I've been thinking about California, and the contrasts between the two coasts. With the exception of the big cities on either side, the East Coast is so much more densely settled. There are towns and villages one after another, and they've been here for a very long time. I had lunch in Jamestown, Rhode Island, which was incorporated as a town in...1678! If you grow up on ...
Captivating Cape Cod
... Beach & Nauset Lighthouse. If you notice in this photo the trees are still quite green, it was such a surprise to see after having driven through the fall colours of Maine, it appears Cape Cod is a few weeks behind the rest of the mainland!! There are lots of hiking trails throughout the Cape - we could easily spend 2 weeks here exploring. In 4 days we only did the National Park at the top of the peninsula, which for some reason ...

The night was warm and dark and so quiet that we had no trouble sleeping at ...
"Oh I do like to be beside the seaside" M Sheridan
... highway. We stopped off at a visitors' centre to take advantage of a short film show and to pick up a map/guide. We fancied a couple of the trails along the coast. A short beach walk allowed us to be terribly British - trouser legs rolled up, handkerchiefs knotted and we paddled in the North Atlantic. I made up the bit about the hankies and Steph put one foot in the water and declared it cold. I tend to shy away from water as you tend to get wet and cold, so I stayed ...
