I have flown APM since 2012 in my Quads/Hexs
I want to get a flying wing that I can use the Pixhawk with.
I want it to be able to take off in a park sized field, fly way points and auto land. (basic recon)
I assume we are at that point with arduplane b

If you own a drone, you must register it with the Federal Aviation Administration's Unmanned Aircraft System (UAS) registry. A federal law effective December 21, 2015 requires unmanned aircraft registr
I had a crash today caused by the loss of the RC transmitter signal. I was in a designated safe area and nothing bad happened except for the plane, but I am sure the crash could have been avoided if I had a deeper understanding on how to operate ardu
Read more…Is there any reason the servo gain is not mapped to airspeed?The program requires a roll rate that represents the output for the pid tuning to work, but a 1/4 throw gives less of a roll rate at stall speed than top speed.
Read more…Thinking about buying the plane. Has anyone been successful with A style tail and the APM mixer? I notice it will work with a V tail. I assume the A tail would just be reversed.
Read more…Hi all,
I have done de Auto calibration for the airspeed sensor on a Skywalker and the resulting value for the Ratio was 4.
I read the normal value should be between 1.5 and 3. Do you think i would have problems with that Ratio value?
I did the calibrat

i ve been running apm 1.0 ages ago, with a great pleasure.
now i am coming back with an apm 2.6 and i am facing an issue, that i dont understand at all.
when i power my plane in manual mode (i ve disable arming_require) everything works fine.

Hi guys!
In a plane you use the power module or attopilot to measure current and voltage of the main batteries.
In a plane the servo rails must be powered by it's own power source, and with the zenner diode, if the power module fails to provide power t
Hello all.
I would like to ask you, dear members of the arduplane forum, if the lenght, inner diameter and type of material of the air tube of the airspeed sensor matter in terms of affecting the precision of the sensor. I have searched all over the i
Hi all,
I flew my skywalker for the first time yesterday. Sometimes while flying, the message "bad compass health"appeared
I attach graphs of 2 logs, throttle and Mag_field. Is the magnetic interference razonable? I think it isn't, but I don't know the
Read more…I have a generic APM power module. When I measure the power coming out of the module I find it to be 5.1-5.2V. When I measure the voltage across A01 I find it to be 4.7-4.8V. When I look at th3e telemetry data it shows 4.7-4.8v, it varies a bit wit

I had bought hkpilot and airspeed sensor from hobbyking, then bought 3DR DF13 cables, as I'd damaged the original hk cable.
What I didn't realise was that the pins are around the other way

I have attempted to build a code along the steps,but can't compile.
Is it possible to use Arduino IDE?

Is it possible to improve it somehow?
Is it better with Pixhawk or is it the same behavior?

I.m buildin a Skywalker with APM 2.6 + GPS, and I have a Hobbywing Flyfun 60a Esc with built-in bec (3A-5V). In the specifications says that it can manage up to 5 servos.
I will have 4 servos on the plane, but in some forums it is recommended
