Hi All
Had my Quad fly off yesterday, and after 6 hours of searching in the wrong spot, a call for some people across the road from the crash, helped locate it up a tree :)
Flights had been going OK, I was testing loiter stability in high wind,

I have a 550 hexacopter that drifts forward when flying in stabilized mode. What can cause this?
Thanks,

I have been having a problem with my hex in auto it appears to be switching between Auto, RTL, Loiter and Stabilize modes at random when in Auto mode (Last log file enclosed)
The strange thing is the first flight was perfect took off did mission and l

When we've set this the copter can't drop below this min alt.
This may be helpful to learn, be less stressed when we want to test options. when doing FPV, we can be sure that we will not touch the ground. Min alt fence doesn't depend on GPS fix

APM 2.5 was inside KK2 coffin box so very well dampened for this kind of shock
Now :

- When GPS is

Dreaming about my rocket drone concern, I was thinking : what about a mode conflict : Asking RTL with switch 7 when keeping switch 5 on ATL Hold - and maybe adding throttle (as SOS).
Could it be a good reason why APM going mad due to

Hi Guys
I have a development request but would like to see if the development would be useful to others as well.
Basic Idea is just to be able to plan a mission with your own custom 3 parameter waypoints.X,YZ axil
so in other words when planning a miss

Is there a way or a parameter to set once for all making automatically home to the place from where I power on / arm ?
Reading the doc, I can't seem to find it
Thanks
Read more…I've had to disable the Pre-ARM checks on my APM (Y6 f/w 3.0.1) because it will not arm.
The confusing part is that it won't say *why* it doesn't arm.
I have Mission Planner running, via 3DR telemetry, and the obvious causes do report on the screen on

GPS accuracy on the ground sucks, we all know that.
I have this very simple need, when moving TX switch to "Auto" on channel 5
- auto take-off from the ground
- hike to 50m straight above
- loiter at 50m exactly above the point wher

Radio is calibrated. IMU is okay.
Problem: Ailerons are centered in all modes except MANUAL, no matter what I do with the sticks or how I move the plane around to get it to stab

I just want to share the result using raspberry pi with Gstreamer to stream live video from my Hexacopter.
I also stream telemetry through Rpi. Resolution 800x448
Big thx to Tommy Larsen for the time and effort and making this possible.
