I flashed APM with ArduPlane 2.28 From APM Planner 1.1.34 , and executed "setup" and "reset" in terminal.
At first I noticed that inverting roll axis was impossible after the initial calibration, I inverted roll axis by modifying "-1" on CH1 to "1"

10 seconds after powering the APM, the right motor starts jittering.
When I test this same motor without APM, it works fine. That cancels out bad bullets, bad ESC or bad motor. I have tried a different ESC on this same output and the jittering i

Hello all,
I’ve released a Windows 7 driver for the Hitec’s HTS-Navi product.
This driver is intended to software developpers only.
With this driver, the telemetry data from the Aurora 9 are no longer restricted to the HPP-22 software. They are now ava

Then you should fly in windless conditions.
