So I have been trying to follow good etiquette and search for answers before I post but every time I use the local search I get nothing. After getting nothing for "moongel" (I saw it in new post and wanted to check it out), I tried the string "quad

I am running APM v3.0 on new Arduino HAL version. It compiles and runs all seems good. My settings are:

I've been dialing in the calibration of my 3DR current sensor by changing the value of the VOLT_DIVIDER value in the Advance Parameters list. I've found that for my quad, with no load, a value of 10.45 gives me a value through Mission Planner (and th

I came along this beautiful flight analysis Wiki entry from Tridge.

Again a hard morning...
After a prop failure 5 days ago I have now really trouble getting the copter with v3.0.1 into air. Before the crash I flew the RC1 version of the 3.0.1 Firmware without any problems. Now I switched to 3.0.1 and didn't

After my forum post yesterday (here), I thought Arducopter 3.0.1 release sounds good. BUT, I made sure it was not my manual mistake, made sure all connections and possibly e

I wonder if there is a full documentation of the source code for APM2.
I have searched a lot through the new manuals, old ones ( the google code ), the code repostory, and this forum, but i didn't find anything like a full description of a

I had my Arducopter flight, with AC-3.0.1 firmware.
6 Flight Modes set as:
1. Stabilize 2. Stabilize
3. Loiter 4. Loiter
5. Land 6. Land
I was in Loiter mode and suddenly my copter fell like rain from the air (~7 meters high). I was j

Is this really an advantage? Shouldn't we all be doing it? Gotta say - my motors are completey parrallel with the arm, and it was stable enough...

I will use a catapult launcher to throw a heavier X8 wing and I want to use the auto take-off APM 2.5 function. I did read that it needs 3m/s before engaging throttle. So here are my 2 questions:
1) When changing to auto, does the throttle stick n

I use APM:Plane 2.74 with a Graupner GR-16 receiver using PPM-Sum connection to APM2.5.I want to use the Flap System with this configuration, which works fine so far, even with two flap servo, one on each wing. The channel function for both fla

Before I fly my Xaircraft V8 frame with APM 2.5+ with 2.9.1-dev firmware (I compiled it), I have been checking motor output, etc. I noticed that measured at the APM output channels, at full throttle via a Futaba T8FG, the PPM going to the E
