Just thought I would share a successful waypoint mission with 2 waypoints and RTL. I am using the 3DR radios 433mhz ans they work well out of the box. Sorry it goes out of shot but with the telemetry I fell safe in the knowledge I know its on the correct flight path. I have just literally set the board and radios up following the wiki and apart from tuning to my liking it has flown very well from the off. If you fast forward from 1.10 to 2.40 then you will miss the boring part where its out of sight. Up to you guys

Right out of the box! Fantastic!  I know you were living with that baby all the way around !eventually I would like to do something like that with my plane I liked how it got out of camera range and came back into view . There are times my plane gets far enough away you can't tell if it is coming or going that is when telemetry  would be good

Have a Great Day!

Thanks Marco and all the guys out there that help push this software forward. Its a great bit of kit and I fully appreciate how much work you and the rest of the development team put into getting this open source software right.

Was that a F450 frame? I am building one with a F450 frame. Wondering if you might share the setting you might have for it? I know it might be very well be different depending on the esc and motors I use. But might be a good start.


Thanks

Hi Randy
The only thing I changed was the rate pitch and rate roll to 0.100 each. I locked them and dropped the rates till it flew stable.I probably could do with dropping the loiter p but haven't looked at that yet.
