Hi all,
I've been flying a Skyfun with Arduplane on for about 18 months now and have enjoyed it immensely. Around this time last year I pre-ordered the ArduCopter kit. The kit duly came from the supplier (Fah-Pah as it was back then) and I simply did

I am planning to add the magnetometer to my APM to provide heading information.
As a PPL holder, I am fully aware that GPS can only provide track information and as such, GPS based navigation is inefficient in anything but dead calm conditi

I now have around 1.5h of flight time on my Skyfun with APM + MediaTek + Airspeed. So far I am very impressed, but I have a question about the default loiter altitude / height. I guess altitude as I am 100% GPS based for altitude measuremen
