I've made a little video explaining my problems, it looked like the most direct way of explaining them to me.
In short, apart from the fact that i had my pusher and normal prop inverted (and thus i wasn't able to lift), wit
We did 10km flight out, with 99% telemetry link. We haven't had more space because military zone ended there. Plane has big problem with it's turning to the right and over-turns to left because engine torque and little deformed right side of wing (by

I'm doing a first time set up for my 3DR Quad using an APM 2.6 board. I've managed to install the Mission Planner software and the device drivers for the APM. I've set the baud rate to 115200 on both the Com port and in MP and selected the correct

Linking the radios using MP now takes almost 1.5 minutes, with numerous messages like "Already got Parameter X". Once linked the update rate of the horizontal situation indicator lags for several se

We've been flying and testing v2.74b and v2.76 in a number of aircraft over the last three months namely two X8 flying wings, a Skywalker Condor 1880, a RvJet, a Multiplex Easyglider v2 and a 1.7m span twin boom own design pusher.
We have problem with

I need to fly by absolute alt because many of my waypoints are below home. I tried entering negative relative alts but that doesn't work.

While we are here mostly to share, the forum itself is surely surveyed by NSA. This makes professionals unwilling to even browse the forums, as their rules sometimes even prohibit leaving SSL area. I think it would be a good moment to introduc

Im trying to keep costs down, so have stayed with Hobbyking parts as much as possible.
Im not an Electrical Engineer, so I'm working on what I've researched just in the past few hours.
Here's my schematic. I don't mind if you
Hi to all
running a F450 + APM 2.5 + External 3DR GPS + firmware3.1.
Everything work well (stab, loiter, auto) but my quad point after few second to cap 300°. If I turn the quad (yaw), it get back to cap300.
I did compass setup 5 o 6 times, declination

The Exif is getting stripped after exporting RAW files to JPEG from Pixelwrench. This is making it quite challenging to use with other programs outside of Pixelwrench.

Read more…I have used sonar in the past on quads to help maintain altitude during auto flights, loiter, and land mode. Some colleagues of mine want to try to use sonar not for altitude corrections but rather obstacle avoidance like the functionality of the op
