On second thought, maybe ordering the APM2 assembled would have been a good idea.

Nah, why let someone else have all the fun? The board is wonderfully small and has convinced me that SMD components require learning new tricks if I plan to roll my own in the future. Over 35 years of through-hole work only…

It's thunderstorming here in Wisconsin today so I thought I share my latest video shot from my Xaircraft X650 V-8 using a GoPro camera on a fixed mount.  Very stable platform even when NOT using the $300.00 2 or 3 axis camera mount.  My mount cost less than $2.00 to make using a couple pieces of colorplast and a flat GoPro mount.  What do you think?
