Hello guys
Today was a very nice, so I took the Arducopter to test fly it. Unfortunately Arducopter crashed from an altitude of 25 m. The damage was not much, and I should be able to repair it to fly again.
I was flying in stabilize mode and the GPS

I recently purchased an X8+ and today I had an issue with several (2-3) of the motors not spinning. I did the usual disconnects/reconnects and was able to run a couple of flights (one manual one autonomous) but the problem persisted until fina

evaluating GPS performance is more than looking at the P/H/DOP values and the number of satellites.
the UBX messages in the log file contains information such as:

Hi all,
I am getting a Xiaomi Yi camera, and I was wondering it its wifi function would interfere
with the Iris+ like the GoPro wifi is said to.
If so, is there no fix?
Thank you!
I have made some good progress on my Vario project. I was able to get vibrations, and mag issues resolved and Loiter performance to an acceptable level. I noticed something though, sometimes while taking off in Loiter the heli will spin around anyw

Recently, I just found out that the ideal battery weight for my skywalker is around 700g. I placed the mapping camera at the middle of the SW belly and batteries at the front to balanced the CG.

the quad is flying great in Stabilize mode, and in Loiter. it looks like all PIDs are calibrated well.
in Auto mode, when arriving at a WP or leaving one, the qu
