Question about this new drone due out in Septmeber. Not knowing much about it but it being an open source, how hard will it be to add a gps to auto navigate it, and would I need a ardupiolt? Also estimated flight time is only 15-20 minutes, how can y

Hello DIYDrones!
Someone please explain to me what I'm missing here. As I understand it when you have "over terrain" checked, the altitude you enter in "Alt(to hold)" is added to the ASL altitude of each way-point. So that would mean that the altitude for each of my

I've played with my new Ardumega board and its shield, looked at the trunk codes for ArduPilot and Arducopter, but I haven't seen any project about a single rotor code, for ex a regular collective pitch like the eflite blade sr (I own one).
