I saw that you built an hobbyking epp fpv uav plane. I'd like to equip my epp fpv with an apm2.5, but I have some worries about the config file. Did you have been able to get a working param file? Is your epp uav working…"

"Hi Steven,
What role the compass plays depends on the configuration. The main options are MAG_ENABLE and COMPASS_USE. If MAG_ENABLE is set to 1 and COMPASS_USE is set to 1 then the primary yaw source will be the compass. In that case strong magnets…"
Steven G replied to nz.mike.christiansen's discussion Hobbyking EPPFPV - .pram file?"I did the same on my EZ. I think the strong magnets, even the ones on the motor, will affect the sensitive magnetometer on the APM 2. Near as I can tell, for fixed wing, the compass plays a minor role. It may be better to unenable the…"
Leo Hogg replied to nz.mike.christiansen's discussion Hobbyking EPPFPV - .pram file?"I dont suppose you have made the same mistake as me BUT, I used the powerful little canopy magnets as supplied and installed the Ardupilot about 2” away. Its tracking was like me cycling home from the pub.

Did you ever get the DO_JUMP command working? Was the problem indeed the parameter location?

Hi,Has anyone seen this device? http://www.1hoch4.net/shop/product_info.php?cPath=29&products_id=51 looks like it could be used to feed the output of a specktrum satalight into the apm2 and simplify / tidy the RX installation.Does this sound possible?See More

nz.mike.christiansen posted a discussionHobbyking EPPFPV - .pram file?
Hi.Im currently flying the EPP FPV, and although I do have it working ok, im having some trouble tuning it, especially in loiter and turns. Does anyone have a .pram file for this airframe? Im currently using the skywalker pram file, and have made some changes to this. My opinion of this airframe is that you get what you pay for. Its big, cheap ($65) and quick to build but is draggy and has some not so nice flight characteristics. It is tough and easy to repair tho. I have tested this theory!…See More
