ArduCopter RC2 GPS Hold: Works better in + than X mode?
Started Feb 27, 2011 0 Replies 0 Likes
I was out flying the Arducopter in X mode today, just to see if orientation was easier (it's not). I noticed that GPS Hold mode wouldn't play nice -- it had a lot of translational drift. I switched…Continue

I'm scratch-building a new Octocopter, in the style of the Hashcopter, using square aluminum tube, and eight motors ganged as pairs with (Quad) Arducopter software. Where is a good place to learn the…Continue

I've noticed that the Arducopter holds much more stable altitudes in steady air than it does in wind. On breezy days, the Arducopter will climb/fall spontaneously while in GPS Hold. In still air, it…Continue

Arducopter gets excellent navigation lights: $11, but 91g

In-flight orientation continues to be a challenge in fast forward flight, so I thought I'd try some LED lighting.
These lights are each 24 centimeter strips, with 24 LEDs molded in. I got them from eBay seller 'brledlight', and I'm amazed at the average selling price of these things.. less than $3 each! What a…

My DIYDrones Arducopter survived its first few flights without incident! This is my first quadcopter, and first Ardupilot project, so I'm actually a little surprised it flew so well.
Very stable.
This is the FahPah "all up" kit, with an added XBee Tx and Futaba R6008HS.
