That's the exact setup I've been running. I've only flown it in stabilize mode so far (running 3 6s 5000mah batteries) as I am waiting for an APM 2.5 case right now before trying out the other modes. However, it was very stable for me in stabilize with the default settings.

Can you post some pics of your APM installation? The flight looked very smooth.

how do you like your clone frame? I've been looking to speak to someone about a review. I am still trying to figure if the frame is an actual "Clone" or if RCTimer simply licensed it from DJI like Sheng Tien did with the BumbleBee flight controller.

No issues with the frame so far it’s been great but I cannot compare it to a DJI frame. I love the frames with the built in PCB makes life some much easier. The only thing that I think could be improved is the arms. They seem like they flex a little too much but I have not had one break.

Nick,, I originally posted the question about APM on my S800.

 

What did you set your Roll_P at.....close to .15?

 

Thanks Jeff

I'm really interested in this too. I'm looking to buy an s800 for the build quality and lift capacity but I need the open source element of Arducopter. Did you need to do any tuning prior to this video at all? How do you power the APM from the S800? Does it have an integrated PDB or do you have to power the APM separately?

Thanks,

Jon

Not much tuning at all. Powered with a small 1500 lipo with http://store.diydrones.com/APM_Power_Module_Dean_Connectors_p/br-ap...
