Way to roll out the fix to the problem I had just 20 hours ago.
Someone mentioned putting a firmware version number in the Mission Planner upload dialog. That could be really useful as I can tell that your hard work is going to result in…"
Magellan commented on jasonshort's blog post Arducopter 2.0 Beta first release!"I'm going to go do a normal controlled flight this afternoon and see if it records to the log after I have hit the erase button in the Mission Planner Log Download GUI. Lets hope that works.
Also, is there any documentation of good values to…"

bergsprekken replied to Magellan's discussion Arducopter 3D Modeling"Would be nice if you had .stl files too, those can be imported to blender."
NerdyFirefighter replied to Magellan's discussion Arducopter 3D Modeling"Oh wow, that would be great! I have been tinkering with this some more and have gotten the SketchUp files into AutoCAD and Inventor so they can go with my models so far, but having something completed would be great.
Thanks so much Jani!"

"We already have Sketchup files for ArduCopter and some of the parts can be found from Sketchup galleries. We can update latest parts and place them in repository so people can play with them."
NerdyFirefighter replied to Magellan's discussion Arducopter 3D Modeling"Quick update here...
