Where these words come from? Shield, Oil Pan, etc.

I've never heard of shield or oil pan before until I stumble on the Audrino boards.  Why are they call what they are?  Shield?  oil pan?  I would have never guessed what they mean by itself.Continue

Joly replied to Wesley Chuen's discussion Tail is Good now. How to tune the Pitch and Roll?
"That feature refers to channel 7 of APM's input, not the output of your receiver. So you connect an auxilary channel from your receiver and plug it into channel 7 of APM input."

"I got the 20A one by mistake, and it worked fine up to using 11" prop.  When using the 12" prop, it was a bit unstable. "

""after doing auto-trim and landing and looking at the HUD, it was totally out of whack."   That's what I've been seeing since day 1.  That's why I kinda stopped trying for now.  "

"Yeah, I would think this could be done easily.  But I'm really not sure I see the point. The main problem with the APM is "leans", and frankly that problem will still rear it's ugly head because in stabilize, it will still…"

"30 mins of flight time is going to be tough for a heavy lifter.  I have a hexa with 880KV motor running in 3s with 10" prop.  Powered by 2x 8400mAh Lipo, I get only 15 minutes of flight time with the total weight of 3.3Kg. "

"Wesley,     I think Robert's changes to support H1 style swash plates (i.e. no ccpm mixing) will allow you to do this. Robert Lefebvre's the man with the real info I think. -Randy"

Using APM as just a Nav controller

After reading a couple of successful posts about the Align APS GPS system, I downloaded their manual and see how it is connected.  Align still use their old 3Gx unit for stabilization, and using the new GPS unit just to provide navigation such as way points, landing, and take off.  I'm going to try the same with APM.Since I'm super satisfy with the stability of the Skookum SK720 and I have a couple…See More

Wesley Chuen replied to Alex Hills's discussion Hexacopter Battery Setup
"Just noticed that you linked a 4s battery.  Do you need to do some heavy lifting?  If not, you should either use 3s lipo or using  shorter props like 9" or 8".  Either of those gives you longer flight time. "

"I also got the 880kV motors from the DIYDrone store but I use 10" props.  I've tried my hexa with 2x2200, 2x5000, and also 2x8400, with lift-off weight range from 3kg to 4kg with gimbal and camera.  With 2x8400 and the gimbal and…"

"Looking good!  No need to apologize about no APM.  DIYDrones was not originally intended to only be about arducopter.  It's about all personal UAVs!"

Got a couple of 450s tuned to perfection with the SK720. Now removed the SK720 and trying to get an APM 2 to work on it.
Tell us a bit about your UAV interest
Way point heli flying and FPV. 450 is the testing platform. Will move it to my 700e when the 450 works.
