i was looking around and found this:
I just received an HMC5843 breakout board. No schematic came with it and there is no link that I can find on the DIY store to a schematic. Does anyone know where I can find one? I always find them useful in understanding how to connect to and operate

Hi guys
Hey Folks
We are getting our Kyosho Cessna 180 ready for a UAV conversion, and have just completed a mod to give it Ailerons. The airframe is great fun to fly, it's super stable but without ailerons it wouldn't be much use for UAV. Here is the link

Inspired by others I have constructed a 4 foot wingspan design for my first drone.
Design turned out quite heavy and the short nose is pushing the cofg well back so will need to add some mass up front.
I was wondering if I can hardwire the IMU board to the Ardushield board like on my picture? also can I leave the FTDI connector plugged in the board all the time or do I need to take it out for flying?
I haven't powered the Ardupilot yet I just want
