Hi guys I have just finished building a Tri for a change (custom) and have put my APM 2 on it.

Darren Stan Oakley commented on Darrell Burkey's blog post Kangaroo Crash ;-)"Love it. You could speed hours trying to get priceless footage like this and you get i by accident. Kind of helps numb the pain of a broken quad."
Darren Stan Oakley replied to Jim Stricker's discussion What is next step?"Hi there sounds like you have a good stabilize setting there now.I myself would next try altitude hold mode as this has to be working right for loiter too. Get altitude mode tuned and working well and then next you can start trying loiter…"
Darren Stan Oakley commented on Gordon's blog post Mode Switch Setup for Turnigy 9x"You don't need that small screen to show the pulse numbers. If you connect your APM to mission planner and go to the calibration screen all the bars and pulse scales are also there. Hope this helps"

Darren Stan Oakley commented on Darren Stan Oakley's blog post GoPro 3 White APM 2 Testing on 720p 50fps"Runs on the iOS app but pretty useless for anything due to lag. It's about 5s and range is poor also. I use Fat Sharks instead."
Adam Conway commented on Darren Stan Oakley's blog post GoPro 3 White APM 2 Testing on 720p 50fps"Have you tried the hero3 with the iOS app? I know the hero2 had too much lag for FPV."
Darren Stan Oakley replied to Randy's discussion ArduCopter 2.8 / 2.8.1 released"Finally got round to updating to 2.8.1 and set aside an evening to tune it. Well i tried defaults and it was perfect. Even loiter and Alt hold are spot on. Good job guys. Wish I change before now."
Darren Stan Oakley posted a blog postGoPro 3 White APM 2 Testing on 720p 50fps
Just a bit of FPV with my new GoPro 3 White edition. Done a couple at 1080 but wanted to see the difference between the 2 settings. This was mounted with the flat stick on mount to the front of the Xaircraft 650 load tubes. FPV camera is hot glued under. Still getting a bit of jello so bit more work to do.Using APM2 with Minim OSD and 3DR radios,Fat Shark predator kit and homemade Skews. So far have a range of 890mts but not pushed for longer range on 250mw.See More
