Hi,
I walk through datasheets of the different GPS modules, and I have some questions :
- velocicy/speed provided in the NMEA messages are they always doppler speed, or can they be for some modules derived from positions ?
- some modules claim a 0,1 m

i was just wondering if i could use a FM transmitter/receiver (72MHz or other) which is compatible with the APM(Ardupilot Mega). which comes with a standard arducopter KIT.
if not then plz suggest me Rx/Tx which does not work at 2.4Ghz

Hello!
I need help please!
I'm doing the last pre-flight tests and I'm worry about one reaction from my Arducopter.
When I test yaw compensation, my Arducopter wants to flip.
When I watch my gyros in Configurator, I see the Roll Gyro that show fluctuatin
