"It's just a standard setup.  Look at any original easystar config. Get it setup, and your regular RC working right, and then put the APM in the loop.  After a radio config, you should be good to go. JC"

Scripted Fixed-Wing Acrobatics

Posted on March 8, 2013 at 11:29am 3 Comments

Hello Everyone,

I've recently had the chance to get some basic acrobatic moves scripted for fixed-wing airplanes.  They are far from perfect, but I wanted to share.

In the (slightly choppy) video, you'll see a left roll, a right roll and most of a loop.

Let's talk a bit about how to…

Let me know if it is still available.

Hello YCT, yes, I do still have it. I took the post down, as it seemed no-one was interested.

Let me know.

John, you had told me that triggering the camera on wa points works, but Im am unable to get it to work. Is there any chance you could just describe to me the order of operations? Im desperate here, spending a lot of money and time building this mapping rig, but just cant seem to make it snap on waypoints. It does trigger through the MP if I select "trigger camera now" but not on the waypoint. Just a nudge in the right direction is all Im asking. I would be very grateful.

Matt
