Carlos commented on parapendioper's blog post Reichard Proxima II electric glider"Yes, congratulations! I too had my first successful flight last weekend and it is a very rewarding feeling when it all comes together and works, huge thank you to all for making this all possible.
I did also notice that the loiter pattern was a bit…"

With winter almost over on to top side of the planet I hope to see more success stories, mine included. Remember, be safe and thorough, this is a…"

I finally managed to fly with APM on Sunday. Here are some photos and a video of loitering. Well, it was flying a pattern which first looked like a figure 8 and then the olympic rings. Any idea why? Will check everything again and fly a real mission when I can. Preliminary conclusions: Manual mode is good, stabilize is very convincing, FBWA and FBWB work, loitering must be checked. PID parameters appear to be reasonable, no sudden movements.It was awesome to have the model fly with me…See More
parapendioper commented on Matthew Coleman's blog post A challenge - An autopilot to fit in this"This is a great model! Your flight scenario and the model require individual channels for ailerons, preferably also for the flaps. High performance thermalling means small roll angles and some flaps to stay in the minimum sink range. Do any of…"

parapendioper commented on Chris Anderson's blog post ArduPilot Mega home page"Hi all,
I have the Meditak GPS and I never get GPSLOCK with APM1.0. Version 1.02 of the APM software does not compile because of a bug relating to AP_GPS_MTK16 so I hesitate with upgrading the firmware of the GPS.
Does somebody have a real…"
