"Other than what has already been written the APM2 Shield GPS antenna will detach in a crash."
"I've experienced this too.
For APM 1 there was wooden box "Ardupilot Mega Case" designed by Peter Koppendorfer that was great at protecting the APM from crash impact.
When testing hardware I use a KK board ($20) and then when the most of the…"

1. disable GPS and attach external GPS.
2. buy replacement APM2 shield
3. service fee for APM2 shield repair (not an available service…"

"This is an excellent and well done hack for Hitec Aurora 9 owners.
When looking at telemetry systems it's possible to find yourself with triplicate systems on board for Tx/Rx telemetry, FPV, and OSD. Example: Three (3) GPS devices feeding data…"

I had been searching for a handbook like this for a while wanted to post the link for it here so others can benefit from it and add links to similar no fee handbooks. It's useful for traditional heli and multicopter UAV pilots that want reference…
I'm interested in knowing what techniques others have used to make it easier to find a lost model after a crash. While in Stabilize mode I lost control of a Gaui 330 during descent and it crashed into a tree canopy around 100' above ground level. …
