Hi all,
I am ready to order all of what I think I need for a fixed wing UAV, and I am wondering if anyone with expertise can point me to a good set of instructions to follow for putting it together. I would like to use the Skywalker x5 or x8 frame, w

As the plane has Ailerons but no flaps I have connected the servos on RC5 and RC6 and set them as Flaperon1 and Flaperon2.
On the transmitter I have a 3 position switch for Flaps and output to

It's not a new achievement using wifi as Telemetry but this UART to WiFi module has really long range (up to 400 meters), and unbeatable price. Very small form factor (about 2cm x 1.5cm) and light (3 gr). Great for the small sized UAVs. And

This means I want my RC transmitter to be able to fly my vtail without any pixhawk help.
Currently I have v

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.

Hi all,
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.
