I have read this http://www.rcgroups.com/forums/showthread.php?t=2012435&highlight=octocopt with dismay as I have an octo that I am in the process of tuning. Does this mean it is likely to risk the 'copter to try full waypoint control?

My questions are around the "where is a firmware to my px4 for HIL"
I try to charge a firmware with mision planner (2.68, 2.69, 2........).
If dont say URL invalid, I try to connect with xplane or flight gear and nothing happens.
I follow all the tot
Finally decided to play around with auto mode and waypoints today. If i take off manually, then switch to auto mode when it is in the air, my Y6 perfectly goes from waypoint to waypoint, lands etc..
Unfortunately, anytime i try to auto take off, as so

This is my third crash (repeating the 'exact' same scenario deliberately) in the past two days. I have found the core problem of the issue -> Using camera (RPi camera module) on-board the flight wipes out GPS signal 'entirely'.
Here is my setup

I'm having a weird issue, hopefully someone can help! I am running MinimOSD 2.2 extra copter.

I built a quadcopter SK450 frame, APM.2.5 with v 3.0.1 & CN-06 GPS that with a mixture of some bad tx programming that switched on RTL when it shouldn't hav

I'm flying (Plane) in very steep terrain and I want to be able to loiter over a point to climb to an given altitude before continuing on with the mission. Same for my approach, I want to loiter over a safe location until the aircraft descends to a gi

I am using the ArduPlane on an FPV flying wing and i am wondering if i can get the mission planner to work with only an incoming stream of data since i want to use a modem and send the mavlink from the plane to the ground station over the Video Tx

I had another crash today. I started the flight in manual mode and switched to FBWA when I had gained some altitude. The plane felt really sluggish. Turn radius was very large and the plane kept loosing altitude slowly. I should've switched to manual

I am starting to build an APM 2.5 hexacopter with NTM Prop Drive Series 35-36A 1800k/v motors. As I learned that there is a constant like 190000/RPM equals to diameter, 4S batteries will only handle 7-8 inch propellers. Is that
Hi,
I would be very grateful if someone could help me with this. Since about 3 weeks ago the Mission Planner will not load any tiles below a viewing altitude of about 100km, this is not very useful for mission planning.
Before then I had excellent im
