Have a pitch (fwd/aft) trim problem with a quad and hex with the current 2.1.1, it need max sub trim and almost max normal trim to stay centered in no wind. I know its not the aircraft motors or esc's as I am experiencing the same issues with both q
Read more…Hi all,
After a huge delay with Arducopter things I have designed and assembled new crazy hexa frame using PVC water supply parts from local shop
I finished few days ago and make a first little flight in my patio, looking no too stable, but suppose t
My quad with 2.1 hovers great... The PID tuning was not a problem...
I made the frame fairly large and its more than stable enough to take still pics from..
Problem is... Any Yaw input and the quad climbes very quickly or drops like a rock.

Read more…Ran into some strangeness with the GPS altitude on the latest firmware.
On initial bootup, GPS gets a 3D fix, and the altitude is correct on apmplanner.
Taking off and flying, the altitude remains fixed at the same level (does not increase)
Trying to fl

I have camera stab working on a hex with the current code and there are no problems. Shortly thereafter I started using channel 6 for in flight tuning, as opposed to telemetry, and I like it. I noticed th

Recently I've switched over from flying a Bixler to a Skywalker.
The skywalker param file available is entirely not suitable for my skywalker plane(think its because of the large differnce in servo throws). Tuning was a bitch.
Also, it is obvi

Denny R. had made a comment about the inertia of bigger props causing issues. I've added a low pass filter to smooth the positive acceleration of the props to s

Im not sure if this will be any use to anyone, but it is to me. Saves having to use a remote cable for my SLR.
Assemble takes all of around 15 mins including code upload.

I purchased a Arducopter and im lookign to get the best flight times I can. I have seen somewhere a guy using two 5000mah 3s lipos is it worth going that far? Would two 8000mah 3s lipos be far FAR too much?

I have two options for BEC,
1. 4.8V 3A BEC
2. 5V/6V 3A BEC
Which one is better option for Arducopter power supply?
