Hello, i am a new user here. I will be coming here for information about the use of the Audupilot. I will also be posting pictures involving it.I want to experiment with putting Ardupilot onto an E-Flite Blade CX2. The Blade CX2 is the best selling aircraft on the market. IT has four channels and an All-in-one electronic box. I want to put Ardupilot onto the aircraft.One of the things I want to do is to use the gyro inputs fron the all-in-one box as input into the ardupilot and use it as parameters to stabilize the aircraft. I don't actually right now want to have it fly automatically fly just automatically hover. I know that you have to use incremental controls on the throttle and the joystick to keep it in a stable hover. I am going to use those to stabilize the aircraft.Do i still need to use the X-Y sensors.Any tips on how to achieve automatic hovering for Blade CX2

I believe they have put their electonics between reciever and gyro / mixer components of the stock electronics in order to control the height and heading of the helicopter.

Hope this helps

Creating a heli AHRS (IMU + code) is a PhD level task, and the Blade does not have the 6DOF sensors you need. ArduPilot is the least of your problems.
I'd suggest a lot of research, both here and elsewhere, on what it takes to make a proper heli autopilot before you dive in on the technical details.
