Hi!
I've gone over the forum looking for a summary of aluminum arm length (i.e., motor to motor length) folks using the 880kv motors are having but can't seem to find one.
Will appreciate any sharing on the 880kv motor to motor length of the ardu fra

Hi, Just poking here to see if anyone has used a different IMU than the ArduIMU v2 with their ArduPilot AP. Would it be too difficult to use one instead of the traditional ArduIMU with the original ArduPilot?
