First I apologize for the question as it seems basic but it has me scratching my head. When I look at the motor numbering for a quad X (http://copter.ardupilot.com/wiki/connecting-the-escs-and-motors/) it says the upper right is motor 1 and lower lef

I´m pretty familiar with copters now and run my own business, but I wanna start a new project with a plane. due to this I have a few questions to the professionals in here concerning wind speeds.

I am going to order Telemetry soon and I am interested in RDF900 but I have couple of questions.
1. Does it work for a 5KM distance?
2. I am currently in Europe where 900Mhz band which RDF900 uses is not ISM band but I just need to test it for a few

Who wants to transmit APM Mavlink telemetry data to ground station using FrSky only? (e.g. without 3DR radio)
Using two Arduinos I have made this possible. One Arduino ("sending part") is on the plane between APM telemetry UART and FrSky recei

I am new to this system and now I want to get Pixhawk but I saw that each year new model is coming out. Considering that Pixhwk is more than one year, are we going to see it's successor?

But UAVs are not free flight models, nor are they full sized aircraft or models of same. UA

I'm wondering if "follow me" mode while work while skiing? On the wiki page it says that since the copter is in loiter mode it will use the barometer to maintain altitude, but since the user is descending down the mountain while skiing, how wi

I'm trying to use Mission Planner 1.3.15 on Windows 8.1 to load ArduCopter 3.2 on my Pixhawk. When I select ArduCopter V3.2 Quad, I get this error:

Any ideas why this is happening?
