Hello,
I am planning to use a novatel oemv receiver as the GPS for my plane. I am using arduplane 2.78 and APM 2.5

I did notice next error (No Dataflash inserted) with my 3DR APM2.5.2 when loading an Arducopter firmware.
I did reset and erase the APM multiple times, same error. It looks to respond to all testing, but not sure if is safe to fly with this APM.

The problem is that the throttle stick is way too sensitive for me.
I used to fly the quad with a cheaper radio set and the throttle stick seemed great. I had too move th

I think i've traced it to a 400% increase in magfield as the onlz anomoly in the logs. Possibly due to an electric train pass

Hi Guys! Hobbyking has just released this new batteries meant to be used in multicopters. While they have an increased capacity/weight radio, they have sacrificed power output (they are rated at 10C).
While I think this is a good idea, I´m wondering h

This is my first post ever over here. I'll be honest I'm not a lot into making quads or anything of this sort but my professor asked me if I could do it and I said yes, as I need this project to graduate.
So now I'm stuck with poor knowledge about
