...or do I need to make my own?
I'd like it for a packaging study for my APM-guided glider (pics coming soon, I promise!)
Apologies if I'm being dumb and have missed the link to it.

I'm working towards that anxious time of the first flight tests! Has anyone considered (as I am) building some kind of light but strong body for the standard Arducopter, rather like the little Parrot drone has?

Does the DIY Drones magnetometer when incorporated with APM 2.XX actually assist in the navigation equations during low ground speed operations or is it strictly used for GCS/OSD mag heading displays.

I am a final year masters student studying Aerospace Systems Engineering the the University of the West of England. I am currently using the UDB V3 for my final year thesis in order to develop a flight controller for a small UAV.
I do not know C,
In the latest MatrixPilot source code, in the file rollCntrl.c , at around line 125, there's this function call:
rollAccum._.W1 = determine_navigation_deflection( 'r' ) ;
But when I look inside the implementation of determine_navigation_deflection, I
