The Quad D frame a.k.a. 2014 Quad Frame is listed as out of stock on the 3DR website. In the past I've been able to order even when something was listed as out of stock.
Am I correct in assuming 3DR is no longer going to be selling that? Also will a n

Thought I'd share my camera door modifications made to my Skywalker 1900 mapping UAV.

First time post and not sure where to start...
I'm looking for guidance or direction on what complete system (drone platform and software) that would be ideal for mapping 2D/3D geo rectified orthophotos and obtaining elevation data. I'm hoping

Recently I have designed a great Hexcopter that works very well with my APM board.
Unfortunately, the wires from my telemetry unit fatigued and broke which set m on the path to replacing all my cables.
I have discovered that Pixhawk uses the DF

I have two rather large Aerial Photography platforms outfitted with Pixhawks. One runs on 6s and the other on 12s. I need to solve the voltage sensing problem.
In both cases, I have no interest in sensing current (partially because it would ju

I'm getting a very odd behaviour in my Skywalker's (with Pixhawk and APM:Plane 3.3.0) RUDDER . While in Manual Mode it responds correctly to the transmitter's input, in other modes managed by APM (Stabilize, FBWA, etc.) not only does it move i
