Went flying at a bigger indoor venue and got rid of the training skids now that the xcopter is tuned. Got over 6 minutes flight on a 2100mAh 3S LiPo.

Hello, I have been working on a Bumblebee with an APM 1 - I have the stab mode very sorted, but thought it would be awesome to find someone else with the same heli to share settings with :)

Hey Ben, looking forward to it. I have the APM2.5 but haven't installed it yet. Still testing the airframe with the cheapo HK multi-rotor control board V2.1 running the x configuration.

I just today finished building the frame of my new BumbleBee..  I bought the kit without a flight controller because I already had an Ardupilot 2.0 from about 14 months ago when they first came out..  OF course, that's still in the box, so this will be a first..  Maybe tonight I'll get around to soldering the headers into my AP, and I'll have some hope of getting this thing in the air..

 

Anyone got an Ardupilot controlling one of these outdoors yet?  I'm taking a trip to Maine in 3 weeks and would LOVE to think I could get some aerial photos while there..??


Thanks in advance!
