Hey Folks
We are getting our Kyosho Cessna 180 ready for a UAV conversion, and have just completed a mod to give it Ailerons. The airframe is great fun to fly, it's super stable but without ailerons it wouldn't be much use for UAV. Here is the link
Hi,
I purchased the Ardupilot Mega and a bunch of components for a UAV project on my Easystar. The problem I am running into is that the components require 3.3v. I don't see any source coming from the Ardupilot Mega that can provide the 3.3v yet I

Inspired by others I have constructed a 4 foot wingspan design for my first drone.
Design turned out quite heavy and the short nose is pushing the cofg well back so will need to add some mass up front.
I think I found a tiny error in the ArduIMU firware like follows:
in the arduimu.pde file, at the beginning
#define GRAVITY 101
#define Accel_Scale(x) x*(GRAVITY/9.81
should be .................. x/(GRAVITY/9.81

Hello All,
Mega seems to work well with the Mega and the IMU.
In the IMU tab when you compile, change all the Serial. to Serial1. to get the data from the IMU.
I guess we need a version called ArduPilotMega 2.6 or something like that.

Dear All,
I had made a balsa mosel of pusher configuration with the poluhideeral wing span of 1.6m.
I had just done a flight test today and recorded some observations.
1. I did a hand launch , plane dives when throttle is more than 3/4.
Not having much luck here. I finally got my arduimu programmed right, but when I plugged back in the power wires after removing the programming cable I had the one pin over to the left.
As soon as I attached the batter to the ardupilot ffzzt!!! somet
