Hi folks,
I'm trying to download the logs from the flash on the APM 2 (v2.73) using the CLI tool in Terminal...it doesn't seem to be possible.
I've tried the sequences below, but they all seem to be inhibited by the incredibly long connection process t

I have another Quad that flies perfectly. It comes back when it is "called" and flies very nicely.
The 3DR is a little larg

With that in mind, I figured one of the best ways to reduce vibration (which is proportional to a), would be to increase the mass of the APM. To that end, I taped together a stack of 4 US quarters and sti
