Is the default altitude AGL or ASL (absolute altitude)? If default altitude = AGL this could explain why I keep gaining altitude while in FBW_B and AUTO.Could someone also give me a description of…Continue

I've successfully got my aircraft flying in auto and navigating waypoints. (Radian powered glider & APM 2.3) However, I too could use some more background on tuning.
With the parameters mentioned above,…"

Don Brooks replied to Clark Hymas's discussion Question about APMPlanner flight planning - Energy/Alt"The asl/agl decision is yours to decide when you create your mission. In the planner, you simply check or uncheck the box for absolute altitude. The displayed altitude is asl.
For the other question,ill leave it to someone else who may be able to…"

Clark Hymas replied to Gent Armedo's discussion How do you "nudge" the APM to fly in different flight modes and what is the default failsafe flight mode?"Information on programming the flight modes can be found here. As for the failsafe I haven't bothered with it on my radio or APM."

Clark Hymas commented on Andrew Tridgell's blog post The importance of vibration isolation"Here is what I have done. Its pretty simple, I am running a four stroke .70 and I'm not having any trouble with gyro drift."
Clark Hymas replied to Clark Hymas's discussion Did my ArduPilot Mega quit working?"1) Yes, this is what I had going on.
2) Not using an ESC - nitro powered plane using a servo, plugged in 1 2 3 4, 3 being throttle.
3) Maybe I should go to bed earlier - after getting home from work reset EEPROM went through all the setups…"

"Those look good.
Two questions, just to be clear:
1) with your CLI switch in flight mode and the board restarted and up and running, you get servo output in manual mode but not in other modes?
2) And you've got an ESC plugged into the APM…"

Posted on June 1, 2011 at 7:00am 6 Comments 4 Likes
I had read about issues or concerns with vibrations and gas/nitro powered planes so I come up with a vibration damper assembly made up of 2 fiberglass plates separated by 4 foam ear plugs that I cut the tips off and glued to each…
