Hi everyone,
I apologize in advance if this question has an obvious solution, but I'm stumped. I wired up my APM 2.5 with a Bixler 2 for the first time this morning and have been trying to learn my way around the technology on the bench. My problem is

I'm not sure if this may have been asked before but has anyone had any problems with the range of their 2.4Ghz equipment through the use of a 5.8Ghz video transmitter? I was out over the weekend and noticed my plane seemed to have lost it's signal

I'm researching into my first quad. One thing that is very improtant for me is the autopilot capacity (will be used for research). I was set on the 3DR X8, when I saw the Turbo Ace Matrix. It seems to check all the boxes...except for the

However the Pixhawk has a

Does anyone know why my 9x is doing this? It seems when I move the (mode 2) Elev/Ail stick right or forward it works fine. But when I move the same stick left or down 20% it wants to do the opposite. Further than 20% and it works normally.

Stall Speed for ArduPlane: by FRANCIS NELSON HENDERSON June, 2014
Stall speed (Vs) is unknown at every new Ardupilot installation. Yet, the autopilot needs to know Vs in order to determine takeoff speed, minimum banked turn speeds, accelerated stall

After hours of smooth flying with my APM 2.5 I started trusting in it when suddenly I observed this strange behavior of my tricopter. It was flying in circle mode, then did two loops and lost approx. 20m height while doing that. Here is the vi
