Does APM have gyro?
Hi All
I just had (sort of) a successful first flight with the APM. The airplane is flying perfectly stable and navigating to the waypoints really well (in full auto mode) - but the throttle is going to idle - so its gliding really nicely while it f

Our goal is to have a quadrotor that is less than 1kg.
What is the power connection for the ardupilot mega chip? Do I need to use additional battery to power on the chip(but it will increase the weight).
