Hi group,

I'm quite close to flying with APM in Big Ugly

http://diydrones.com/profiles/blogs/drastik-50cc-build-log

I attach some logs of two ground runs, the vibration doesn't look too scary, then, what do I know ?

Regards

@leopoldo: Could you raise your question as a forum post as it's easier to comment  on that post. (see Add a discussions" button above left of this post :-) )

Hello all, 

I need your feedback and help, yesterday I was flying my airplane with APM 2.0 I saw in OSD that it changed to Circle mode, that was probably because a low Tx or Rx low signal.

 Since I noticed the mode change I move the switch and put in RTL mode. OSD show me that it was in RTL but later when the airplane was coming back it changed to circle mode itself. So I had to put in manual mode and flew it back to home as I could.

 I did other test and it happened two or three times more.

Each time that switch to RTL mode meanwhile the airplane was coming back it change to circle mode alone.

 

This sound real strange for me because I understand that when you change to RTL mode it has not change  the mode until you move the switch.

 Could you please help me understanding why this could be happened, in this condition the RTL mode is not reliable.

Hello all, I am not sure this is the right place to be asking basic questions, but here goes:

I am using xplane 9.7 with mission planner 1.2.35 mav1.0 to get started flying using the sim. I am able to fly the plane in xplane, but the only mode that works is the manual. If I switch to other modes, I can see that planner switched to the mode I switched to, but the the plane doesnt stabilize and I can still control the pane as if i am in manual mode. Any ideas what I am doing wrong?

The other strange thing is I am only able to calibrate the radio and fly the plane using the ArduPlane V2.70 instead of ArduPlane V2.70 HIL. If I upload the HIL version there is no communication between my radio and the planner. How do I get the radio to respond in HIL mode? I am wondering if this is why it doesnt work when I switch to stabilize mode.

Thanks

I don't know if there's the right place to post but i try... How could i help by translating Arduplane Wiki in French ? You probably know that the French guys are a bit lazy and have great difficulty even with google translate !!!

Thanks Bill, I've done that.

The page you directed me to is the one I mention in my post as the one I don't understand (code google site).

Sorry for posting here.

Apm with 2 aileron servos

---

Hello all,
Can anyone tell me how to setup separate aileron servos for APM 2.5? I'm flying a fairly large powered glider and a Y lead just won't do. I've just bought the APM and I've looked at the Code Google site but I don't understand what they're talking about.
I can't find any answers to this question although I've seen several questions posted.
If I can't figure this out I'll have to start saving for another unit for RTH and stabilize, which is all I bought it for.
I've thought of just using one aileron on the APM and connecting the other direct from Rx to the servo.  I think this might work for RTH as that should'nt involve any wild flying
I started looking through various forums but the search didn't find anything on this subject.

Many thanks for any help

John.
