"At the moment, dual aileron does not seem to work with crow/spoileron configuration in any stabilized mode. So no, at this moment I don't think it will work. If I can find the time I'll try to solve this problem myself, but…"

Why is the FBW-B speed target constantly changing.

Sorry to blat this site with more questions but I have some time off and got lots of data from the weekends flying. In FBW-B I had large speed/power oscillations so started adjusting PIDs in the…Continue
2 Aileron channels. Has anyone got differential working properly?
Started this discussion. Last reply by Fête Mobile Mar 28. 9 Replies 0 Likes
I have put the 2nd aileron on a separate channel so that I can have differential (defiantly makes my plane fly better). It was working fine with the APM not connected. I have set it up with the wiki…Continue

I suspect my airspeed indicator is under reading as it was consistently below the GPS groundspeed.I was trying to be cleaver and export the tlog into a spreadsheet and take averages of airspeed and…Continue

After checking the log of yesterdays flight I see that the status page wind direction varied between 260 and 310 (about 7ms). However, my observed wind and the local weather reports indicate an…Continue

Mike Mac replied to Leo Hogg's discussion 2 Aileron channels. Has anyone got differential working properly?"I land on the FBW-A mode. That’s my favorite more for flying around and landing. And my Crow is on a three-position switch for I basically have two settings. Do you think it’s possible to make it work in that mode?

Fête Mobile replied to Leo Hogg's discussion 2 Aileron channels. Has anyone got differential working properly?"Hi Mike. Were you going into crow/butterfly with stabilize mode? I encourage you to try it again, at least on the ground, and try it in MANUAL mode. As I said, that's the work-around to this bug. I wish we didn't…"
Mike Mac replied to Leo Hogg's discussion 2 Aileron channels. Has anyone got differential working properly?"I tried dual ailerons last summer but every time I activated the "CROW" switch to reduce lift for landing it would go into a hard roll. I could never figure it out.
I have not tried the latest firmware with dual ailerons. It was very…"
Fête Mobile replied to Leo Hogg's discussion 2 Aileron channels. Has anyone got differential working properly?"Hi All. I've tried out the AP2.68 firmware. It's really nice that the dual aileron control is in the firmware (finally) so I don't have to patch the code each time there's an update. I've been using dual…"
Leo Hogg commented on Vince Hogg's blog post MK II H frame quad now flying"The fuselage shell was vacuum bagged around a foam core. The foam was then dug out after the fuselage lid was cut off. The wind effect was similar to the X-frame. We were considering mounting the ESCs on the inside with heatsinks to keep it…"
Leo Hogg commented on Joshua Ott's blog post Crash test"I am using the power module which should be able to supply the gimball servos. Next time I will use the BEC rail to power the servos

Leo Hogg commented on Joshua Ott's blog post Crash test"I had the same problem with my quad after installing a camera gimball. I think the servos drew to much current from the power module causing the autopilot to brownout and the quad to lose control. The Vcc log showed some transient under and over…"

I thought about off the shelf cases, but I wanted something that I could chop and change to meet my requirements.

The Samsung monitor was supplied with a 14V mains adapter, I measured the output at 14.2V. I attempted to run…"
UAVOZ commented on Leo Hogg's blog post UAV Portable Base Station"Please show me closer pictures how can you power your monitor. The Samsung monitor has its power adaptor with it. "
Martin Poller commented on Leo Hogg's blog post UAV Portable Base Station"Hi Leo,
The case looks good, did you think about any off the shelf cases?
Are you going to use your cars 12v dc socket to power the ATX , or are you using a leisure battery, and have you thought about some sort hood to block out the sunlight."

"Very cool. I'd have gone with button head screws, however. Don't stand out as much.
Did you consider using a Pelican case to hold it? It would be nice because they are waterproof too.
I thought about building a computer…"
Dimitri commented on Leo Hogg's blog post UAV Portable Base Station"Hehe, that plug will never fail you Leo :)
@UAVOZ
I think it can take AC too but only up to 18Volts always."
UAVOZ commented on Leo Hogg's blog post UAV Portable Base Station"@Dimitri
That's very handy UPS! How can you connect the UPS with AC power as it is for DC input??"
Leo Hogg commented on Leo Hogg's blog post UAV Portable Base Station"@Dimitri
Dimitri I already have a portable power system for use in the field.
(Joke)
I will most likely buy a power supply from this manufacturer. The car power supply will take an input from 6-26V. this will be used in conjunction with a 12V…"
Dimitri commented on Leo Hogg's blog post UAV Portable Base Station"Great stuff! Ready for mad max ;)
How do you plan to power it at the field ? Gennie ? I'll be building something similar after I upgrade my desktop and have come across this mini UPS you might find handy in case gennie runs out of…"

I found that a conventional laptop computer is fragile for use in the field and decided to create my own ruggedized PC that would be suitable for use in the field and the workshop. Having upgraded my desktop, I have a spare socket AM3 motherboard. The motherboard has an integral video adapter, so will not require a bulky graphics card. To power the PC, I will use a 12 volt ATX power supply. A 19" Samsung LED LCD will be used. The screen comes with a 14.2V mains power…

UK EPP-FPV

Having imported and build a Hobbyking EPP-FPV aircraft, I would reccomend against UK buyers purchasing from the states since the postage and import duty was more expensive than the model itself and the quality of the kit was below what I expected. However I have assembled it and it has proven to be useful in my…
