Hi Guys,Experienced RC pilot shopping for an airframe to do my first ArduPilot build with.Loads of experienced guys here, but one problem, I really can't stand the EasyStar style aircraft. I know they are really popular here but no, just no, can't be

I'm back to the world of Arducopter since a few months of absence due to personal problems and I didn't keep up with all the things that happened.
Browsing around I saw that there are 4 firmware available:
I am trying to determine how much vibration is a factor in other quadcopters based on a given throttle setting and how that affects stabilizing the craft in flight. I'm asking for someone to simply share a graph of their data while the quadcopter is

I've been gathering several information for my project. One of them is that a flight of a RC Plane or Copter can only last for approximately 10 minutes or even lower.
I have this theory: That relatively short duration of flight is caused by
