Hi there,
Just recorded my first flight on a Quad with Camera + OSD on board. Seem to be getting a sh*t load of interference and trying to work out what I should expect before I start trying to improve it.
My gear is:
I have been trying to get a bluetooth link working with my APM2 to avoid constantly plugging and unplugging the usb in whilst tuning, I know this can be done, but it is proving irritating? i can change baud rates e.t.c and plug the module into the te

I've seen a video that said you can make a uav out of a nokia N95, i had a spear one so i thought i could make it into a uav.

The nice thing of a 450 sized Heli is, you can check most off its control behaviour by flying while it is in your hand.
The Swash control seems to work fine, resisting any outside distu

can you believe it?
after 8 long weeks, one return to 3dr and many attempts at solving I HAVE FLOWN.
Solution - was to reverse the throttle on the Turnigy TGY 9x tx AT the transmitter, NOT in Mission Planner

It uses dual band 802.11n wifi, an whilst they quote 100m, I'm hoping to get 200m using a high powered Ubiquiti Networks Nanostation M access point.
I will post results when I r

Im looking at ordering the 3dr 433mhz radio combo but am a little confused. One would assume that the interface (vcc and ttl levels) should be 5v given that this is designed to interphase with the amp2 board, however the listed FTDI cable is a 3.3

I want to share with you the first results obtained with my Bixler-UAV. I had never flown a RC plane before but must say that this little hobby quite gets into your skin once you get familiar with all the basics. So I started with an Bixler AR
