hello everyone
Is there a better and faster osd available/possible for the APM?
the minimosd has too big fonts and update rate is slow, can it be like the RVOSD v5 with F-16 theme?

Some advice please. I need to take an informed decision on whether to purchase a Pixhawk or an APM 2.6.
I intend to fly fixed wing photogrammetry missions. As such I need full functionality on the Mission Planner and to be able to log GPS position and

1. You have the compass (and APM) on an angle when the plane is level.
2. You do the accelerometer level calibration in MissionPlanner.
The accelerometer is zeroed in to this new flat level, but what about the compass?
I calibrated the ESCs, calibrated ACC, and also I calibrated Mag, and I don't know what else to do... my hexacopter moves sideways (to the left) when I start it, and I have to land it right away because it will probably flip if I push the throttle hi

I was hoping someone could clarify for me, if mission planner is required in the field for telemetry from the APM? The reason i ask is i have a lack of a good laptop, and was wondering if i could program the APM using my desktop PC at home,

I'm working on a new project, I call it the rotowing (still working on the name...).
In essence, it's a wing airframe with a VTOL via quad rotor. The back props rotate to provide lift during take off, and forward thrust during flight.

Not too sure this is the correct forum. If not please direct me.
My plane is a Skywalker X8. I'm still in early flight stage. I'm thinking I don't have enough deflection to keep the plane in level flight in say.. FBWA Mode.
My question: Is there a Para
