Hi all,
I was one of the early users of jDrones and APM, but I had some personal problems and didn't do anything for years.

MavProxy is an option but it does not allow python scripts to execute.
It started as a hobby but has gotten big in popularity. The end result is a lucrative profession for those who appreciate the challenge. In fact, you can catch drone racing on ESPN and Sky Sports. This whole process has been gathering steam for somet

I have an Arducopter v2.6 on my quadcopter and am just starting to get it flying. Yesterday I took it to the park for the second time for some test flights. The flight went as follows:
are there some inherent differences between quad copters and hexacopters. What would make a designer choose 4 or 6 propellers? Is there a sweet spot for lift capacity with a quad vs the sweet spot for lift capacity of a hex? What is that sweet spot?
