Hi, I have a problem and I was wandering if anyone here could help me...

I think my GPS is not working right with my APM. When it is connected to 10 (yes, TEN) satellites and connected to my computer it says it's moving around a lot when it isn't. When I took it for a flight the first time I put it into loiter mode. This

With my friend we built a solar powered glider (4m wingspan). Yesterday we made a 7 hours flight with 7800mah battery pack, the total load was 17500mah with solar cells.
It was great BUT, during the day the controler was fighting with ther
Hey guys I have come across a little problem today, when I hover my hex copter it's gets a really bad wobble / fish bowl effect to the point it turns itself upside down and crashes. Last attempt smashed the landing gear so it's all over for today. I
