I'm new to this forum but not new to this world: I started many years ago with fuel planes, then moved to electric sailplanes, then sold everything because I didn't have time, and now I'm having again some fun with aerial photography using a DJI Phan

Before discussing altitude bands, it is useful to define reference level first.
Here we have drone bands as proposed by Amazon for its commercial drones rendered above Bellevue, WA, US. Obvious nonsense as they won't even be able to dodge trees. Perso

I am trying to assemble a boat with APM to move autonomously. Since I am using 2 BLDC-s to move the boat, I am using the Rover firmware with SKID_STEERING_OUT and _IN turned on. In the documentation it is written that in this mode outp

Turnigy 2K action camera
I have used this camera for two months on my DIY 450 Quad.
I like the quality of single shot photos and video.
I have scratched the lens (did not use the protective case) but am happy to report that lens is replaceable as note i

I recently inherited a "broken" drone from a friend, and have begun the process of fixing it. It is an octocopter with an X8 configuration. Two of the motors do not work on it, and I was wondering if anyone knew what the exact model of these

I am working on an autonomous drone project where 4 Drones flying in circular path and need to talk to each other. Drones are running on PixHawk flight controller.

Hi I was wandering if anybody has heard of or seen a flight planner app that offers full control of ardurover or boat. Similar to this.
My new TriCopter made its first long-duration test flight today, fully autonomous. Using APM2.8, ArduCopter 3.2.1, APM Planner2 on linux. It flew the same 15 minute mission repeatedly until the battery got low. After letting the battery recover fo

Hope this isn't a stupid question:
Is there a difference between 433mhz and 915mhz antennas supplied with 3DR style radio modules, and if so how can i tell them apart?
I've been struggling to get a decent telemetry link with knock off versions o

First post (possibly of many!), just to see if anyone else has encountered issues with the Minihawk/Pixhawk Mini, when connecting the GPS/Compass or the 3DR telemetry.
Both have different symptoms...

EKF / DCM Check Failsafe
Copter 3.2 adds a DCM heading check and an EKF (Extended Kalman Filter - Pixhawk only) check to catch flyaways caused by a bad heading estimate......

I am building a quad using APM 2.8 and a 10 channel PPM transmitter (FlySky FS-i6S). I have configured the channels on the transmitter , and set the parameters on Mission Planner (1.3.41) for the auxiliary channels.
However, when I try to confi

For a university project, my team and I are working on a self made multicopter drone with wings. The benefits are obvious (longer flight time, greater distance). Also, we will build it so it can sustain difficult weather conditions.

I am currently working on a hexacopter. After completing the assembly I tried to calibrate the motors. One of the motors didn't spin properly and smoke started coming from it. This happened twice. I don't know if the problem is with the motor or th
