About Me:
I'm a 37 year old computer technician always eager to learn a bit more about anything regarding electronics and computers and space and ... women !!! (the last one even thoug impossible, I belive to be the last gold of any man)
Please tell us a bit about your UAV interest
well, not so far ago, I became interested in this matter, without knoing there was already so much acomplhisments in this area. I was fully unaware of the quadcopter existence and was at the virge of building my own first arducopter starting with nothing else than my arduino and accelerometers and a couple sensors more. Now I'm completelly hooked to this.

"That looks like a motor / propeller failure. What propellers are you using ? Do you check the spinners if they are all tight before each flight ? Check the props also near the hub if they look forced (white plastic as if you bend it behound no…"
"I have a situation (don't know if I can cal it a problem). When I set Vertical Time Constant (INAV_TC_Z) to 0, altitude constantlly increasing. And not in a linear way, it seems to be adding to previous value. Anyone tryied to set this to 0 ?"
"Hi Lucas. Have you made all first time calibration ? (radio ? magnetometer ? Gyros ?) If you haven't, AC has a pre arm function wich won't let you arm if any of this haven't been calibrated. You can disable this pre arm check in Mission Planner (I…"
"Well, I have the same exact error and I've followed all the steps on the PDF. Installed AVR tools with all the defaults, installed Arduino special version on the link (and put it on my c:\ folder just as it's mentioned ), configured Arduino, choosed…"
"Hi Bob, some time ago I was looking for model size parachutes, and I'm considering buying 1 or 2 for my hexa. It may not avoid disaster but it will reduce the damage :) I found this one after some time looking.…"
"Hi all. I'm back (or so I think). At the planner, the params for RTL altitudes are in meters or cms ? Thank you."
"Probably you have mixage on those channels. Have you checked the radio is in plane/glider mode and NOT in helicopter mode ? Heli mode may have mixers pre defined."
"Excelente :) bom trabalho. Quem me dera ter uma cnc dessas ;)"
"I've started translating the wiki, however, lack of time and too high frquency of updates and changes made stay put ! Sorry for that. I plan to continue and if anyone wants to give a hand, would be very appreciated."
"As promissed, today I filmed my flight test. Most relevant part is the Auto flight with about 500mts flight path (doesn't seem too much, but it can make you hold your breath for a while). There was some stormy weather, with wind but luckilly no rain…"
"The motion is beautifully represented and cloned, it's amazing :)"
"well, you may fit it with all top equipmment (I don't know where will you fit it however), but for the looks of it, the only plausible explanation will be "government contract" !!!! This happens in all countrys more or less, let me tell you how :…"
Well, I don't know if this was already posted but I've came across with it just now. It's a 2011 video, so probablly you have seen it allready, however it's really cool :D
"Lately I haven't managed to get time to fly, but today I made the 2nd flight test with 2.8.1 and it looked great. Also I've acquired a lea 6h with Sarantel antenna and I get lock after about 5 seconds (great sensibility). As usual, my rate p is a…"
"Attention to all. This video is not of my own, but a video I've watched and thought it would be nice to share. Watch it directlly in youtube and subscribe (I did it and hope to receive notifications) if you want to be notified when new ones are…"
Hi, I just watched this video, and it seems to me a good ground base for those who want to start with multicopters and don't know what's the best platform.
