Adil: Set one of your toggle switch modes to Loiter. Wait for GPS lock, then fly and switch into Loiter at the position you want to hold.

Can somebody help me step by step on how to set the gps hold. Thank you in advance.

Is it important to mount the board directly in the center of a quad frame or can it be slightly off to the side. I would like to mount mine about 2 or 3cm off center.

Tom: that just means that your throttle is reversed on your RC transmitter (maybe you've switched to another model memory?). Switch it and go through the MP radio setup again.

See flybrushless.com for other data. The DIYD/jdrones props are not in there, but should give you good comparison datasets to work with.

Hi,

 

is there information available on the lift characteristics of the arducopter propellers? I am looking for information to use in a theoretical calculation where i am able to relate lift to rpm.

 

thank you for any information

Sorry, I did not mean to name drop.

 

For Canadians they can use these offices to get more info or apply for licenses:

We will do so since we like to fly for commercial activities.

@Dara Shayda

 

I'm sure Chris will have opinion, but since he's not a lawyer, he'll probably not want to give us a legal opinion.  The laws are simply not caught up with the technology yet, and if we all operate our Arducopters responsibly, there will be no need for any government to have to pass laws to limit our use of them.
