Hi there,
I'm adding the works to my Bixler 2 and have a few interference questions as ideally, I want to build a nice little pod that can fit all the electronics in it that can be dropped into the top through the normal canopy.
The electronics I have

Just wanted to have your suggestion about a good indoor airframe.
Since I have access to a large indoor space for my flights, I need a slow-flyer airframe which has enough room for electronics as well as enough payload for my APM 2.5+ UBLO

I am doing some research on Fault-tolerant Flight Control (FTFC), and I am using my Bixler as testbed for this purpose. So I have applied splitted rudder to my Bixler and I am using 2 separate servos for lower and upper rudder sections. Do y

I mounted my APM2.5 on a Bixler to test the hardware and learn how to program the various parameters before trying them on a bigger model.
Yesterday and today I made several flights to test the various modes stabilize, fbw, rtl, etc.
In the l

I was thinking about the possibility to connect the transmitter to the pc to control the model through telemetry.
For example, use a normal remote control at 2.4 GHz, which transmits the signal to a receiver connected to the pc, placed a few

Does anyone know if its possible to log airspeed and altitude in graph format as i can only see roll, pitch and yaw.
many thanks
Read more…No previous RC experience. Would you recommend I also purchase a Bixler to practice on, so I don't destroy my ArduPlane immediately after I get it?
Also, as a newb, I'm kind of lost in all of this. Any links or tips would be greatly appreciated. I'v
