"We made a board that allows to transfer the control to the pilot, bypassing the APM via logic gates, we`ll post schematics and pictures soon. At a flick of a switch on the TX the APM gets cut out of the loop.  Still, we have a question: if our…"

"Are you using the apm autopilot? I am working on my first drone and I am programming the thing from the ground up - with much help from the people on this site. I would start by just trying to get the plane in sustained, level flight to see how well…"

"He is some sort of right, but outlawing would be useless since there is a lot of open source about drones and uav in generals (making a fpv plane is ridicolously easy)... I claim my extra points :-) : the security admin forbids even little doses of…"

"Insane work of art! NASA Rules!"

"Is there a reason the signal mux was removed? I understand it doesnt make sense for multicopters but for fixed wing it could be useful.  This is probably beyond the scope of most users but I think the FAA would like to see a way to switch to…"

"I think we need a data base for the APM if we had a regular question aire for every issue: What os, version of the code, Rx/Tx, GPS ect... If we kept track of everything we could probably figure out everything from right here at DIY D. It should be…"

"Even Attopilot uses the main flight control microprocessor to perform the RC pass-through function.  If the micro hangs, then you might not be able to switch over to RC to recover the aircraft.  Having said that, Attos do have an excellent…"

"The only way to determine answers to Ludovico's questions is with data. Reports from users (even me) are not data but anecdotal information. (this is why the developers ask for logs after an event) We need to take 10 or so APM2 units, ready to…"

"After grabbing that Autopilot off google by accident I wonder if there is a market for a repackaged version? I bet the company might be able to produce enough of a version that the cost could go down even. It sure would be funny to crack one open…"

"Good luck! I think you will be successful! As long as you understand what you get with the Ardupilot! It's a great deal for the price there is no doubt about it! Looking forward to seeing your post!"

"I looked up attopilot and yes that seems to me a notch up from ardupilot as regard reliability BUT it costs more than 10 times more, which is waaay too much for my budget, so I still stick with Ardupilot because I love its incredible price to…"

"My first girlfriend (Draganfly vti). a Data I had very interesting, I wonder why not to add to apm. when the battery voltage down to levels of failure. the quad down the height. The same was true when he lost the radio signal down gently to the…"

"APM is a work of art. I have had countless flights and luckily no accident than sorry. I have invested more than 5 thousand dollars in equipment and accessories do not regret. aeroquad since the beginning of this guy I fell in love. my first…"

"That full size autopilot I just grabbed the first one I found on google. There are comparable systems that can easily be modified to UAV service. This one used Mem's in my previous post I said some mem's are better. The quality control on…"

"John, thanks for clearing that up! I did not have that exactly right. I don't have the APM 2 yet and I get MUX'ed up between the two. :)"

"You really make no sense at all. You Opine on a solution you clearly know nothing about, then point to a full-size autopilot that isn't certified and uses MEMS Gyros, exactly the same as most RC Autopilots. Oh, which also costs the same as an…"
