When in stabilize mode, APM version 1.02, at the ground, no motor runing, no vibration. If I move the nose to dive down manually, the elevator moves down and I predict it will sharpen the dive. If I move the nose to rise up manually, the elevator mov

Read more…The hard part is fitting the APM, XBee, GPS, Remzibi, Video transmitter and camera into some of these planes. Especially the foam planes which have even less room.
What kind of ideas have you all come up with?
Read more…Hi Doug
I have an understanding problem with tuning the PID's.
I followed your instructions in the manual.
I adjusted the servo_roll P to 1.2 and the plane acts very crisp as in manual. But 45° angle is achived by maybe 30% stick input.
With this setting

I am trying to understand how to obtain a heading angle from 3D magnetometer like HMC5843. When I look at compass.cpp in AP_Compass library, I can't get how roll and pitch angles are used to compensate compass measurements.

During my last flight I remember that the arducopter kept on yaw-ing randomly (not strong yaw), it was a windy day...
It yawed both in GPS hold and in non-GPS hold modes.
should it do that ?
is there any way or mode in which it keeps the heading fi

Is there one place all the defines are listed with options, or is reading through the multiple config files the best way?
Is there a discussion thread for the libraries? I'm mostly interested in when they're going to be changed.
Thanks

I wonder if some of you might be able to help. I've just finished building my quad using the arducopter kit. I've taken my time building as I want it to be right, and made sure to read every bit of the wiki. Loaded the most recent Ardupirates

How can I access U,I and most important battery_remaining in the GCS (Planner or HKGCS)?
