Aaron replied to H H's discussion Arducopter altitude hold details"I have noticed the same behavior from my quad.. I was assuming it was my home built frame (slightly heavy). I have raised throttle_p and Alt_hold_p (I think) with the same results.. Usually it will settle LOWER than the previous hold I raised it…"
Aaron commented on Andreas M. Antonopoulos's blog post Developing code for the APM - Webinar"Awesome! I will try to make it, but you should record it!!!"
Aaron replied to Norayr Aslanyan's discussion Shipping for ardupilto Mega 2.0"Ordered mine 5/24... :("
Aaron replied to gearwolf's discussion FBW in Arducopter?"They can't, nor can they hover.. What he is proposing is a Heli / Autogyro transition similar to the Heli / Fixed wing of the V-22 Osprey, hence the 15deg cg shift..
Correct me if I am wrong gearwolf.."
Aaron replied to Chris Anderson's discussion ArduCopter 2.3 released"Is there a possibility of adding a "squat" switch? In larger aircraft, you arm the spoilers for landing, when the land gear collapse a certain amount on touchdown, the spoilers automatically deploy making the aircraft basically a brick at…"
Aaron replied to Gareth Rens's discussion Extra Mode request for Jason Short"Perhaps another channel would be better? I am careful not to movey throttle while in ALT_HOLD so i dont accidently drop like a stone when i disengage. I like the idea though."
Johannes Huss replied to Aaron's discussion 3DR Dimensions"Maybe I am blind, but can someone please tell me the material thickness of the aluminium arms used in the 3DR frame? I can't find it in the dimensions PDF. Also confused a bit about non-european measurement. :)
Sorry for possibly asking…"
Michael Pursifull replied to Aaron's discussion Custom Quad Frame"260g is a very good weight, although it is typical to weigh the central mounting plates and the PDB as part of the frame.
My frames weigh between 195g and 450g (with plates and PDB.)"
Allen Babb replied to Aaron's discussion Custom Quad Frame"I heard a trick for releaving stress points was to round out the corners using somthing like a drill. I'm not sure on what the size the bit should be in your case, but it could be worth looking into."
Tim - Arduino for Visual Studio replied to Aaron's discussion Custom Quad Frame"Nice. a small well attached platform should take the pressure off the dovetail?"
Aaron replied to Aaron's discussion Custom Quad Frame"Yea, I agree. I Used a CNC Mill so the fit at the dovetail is very snug and the square tubing is 1/16" wall. It feels very strong."
Roman Krashanitsa replied to Aaron's discussion Custom Quad Frame"Hey Aaron! The frame looks nice and the perforation holes along the extrusions make sense. You did not mention what is the size of the frame. So it is hard to tell.
On the other note, the dove tail in the middle will be a primary location of…"
