Ioan Ghip replied to Simone Chiaretta's discussion How to setup FailSafe for Arducopter with Turnigy 9x stock firmware?"I tested this on my Turnigy 9X stock hardware but with Open9x firmware and works as expected. The throttle failsafe works well if I turn off the transmitter:

Simon Gibson-Poole replied to Simone Chiaretta's discussion Radio Channels/Inputs for ArduCopter 2.8"An update on this ...
Was out flying today testing the gimbal a go pro for the first time and didn't notice any problems using channel 8 initially. However I had to reset the APM at on point (as it wasnt accepting the waypoints I was…"
Simon Gibson-Poole replied to Simone Chiaretta's discussion Radio Channels/Inputs for ArduCopter 2.8"Hmm ... I would like an answer to this as well as I am intending to use it to manualy control roll on my camera gimbal, with pitch controlled by channel 6 (both inputs are pot switches on the TX).
I have configured and calibrated it, and it seems…"
Simone Chiaretta commented on Tim Green's blog post And it crashes - need hover in place mode to be functional before or along with stabilize mode"Yeah, happened to me too... in stabilize mode drifts to one side when I leave all sticks. It should be fixed with the auto-trim function, but for that to work you should be able to keep it stable manually.
I think find the sweet spot when in…"

Simone Chiaretta commented on Majid Khan's blog post Configuring Turnigy 9x with arducopter"Didn't you have to reverse the pitch stick in order to have it working correctly (stick forward, pitch forward and stick back, pitch backward)?"

Simone Chiaretta replied to Randy's discussion ArduCopter 2.8 / 2.8.1 released"Thank you.
yeah, using stabilize mode for the moment.
Will try with the trims and see how it goes."
Simone Chiaretta replied to Randy's discussion ArduCopter 2.8 / 2.8.1 released"yeah, when it stops raining I will :)
Since it's a very strong tendency to move sideways do you think it is normal or something in the frame is wrong?"
Simone Chiaretta replied to Randy's discussion ArduCopter 2.8 / 2.8.1 released"Hi Randy, thank you (sorry late answer, I was on holiday with little network access).
Will have to try out something: I'm a total newbie with no experience in flying copters, and by quad is badly drifting sideways and I it's very difficult…"

The end of drones in Belgium?
Posted on September 7, 2012 at 2:00pm 12 Comments 0 Likes
Life is becoming pretty difficult for drones lover in Belgium: apparently the department of air transports in Belgium has either approved a new law or a new interpretation of an old one, which equiparates drones to any other RC aircraft: under that interpretation, drones can only take off from approved terrains, and can only go maximum 400m from the RC club, and must stay at more than 200m from any…
