Hi All.
I am using my APM on my trusty Skywalker and decided to install a 900mhz FPV system on the plane this morning. When I flew it LOS for about 30 seconds with a buddy on on the goggles, the SW started acting weird until I lost control of it, nos

I am working on a quadrotor project. With the help of 32 bit 72mhz IC, i am doing 300 Hz attitude and speed control. I made the IMU card with ITG3200, ADXL345, BMP180 and HMC5883 sensors.
I am using AXI 2217 BL motor and MK ESCs via UART. We a
