Cruise speed
Hi,I want to adjust cruise speed.At default settings I have a ground speed of about 42km/h (without airspeed sensor), and I think the optimal speed should be lower. In the mission planner I have value "Cruise speed", default 12m/s. I updated it to 9.5, but don't see any change in actual cruise speed.How to set cruise speed?Are these different settings with RTL speed? For RTL I prefer keep it as is - less efficient, but more reliable.Is it possible to adjust cruise speed during flight, providing…

Hi guys,
Can anyone point me to the specs and wiring directions/instructions of the 3DR servomux board? The board is no longer in the store and a search on the new forum returns nothing.
Thanks in advance.
Hi group,
I'm quite close to flying with APM in Big Ugly

I attach some logs of two ground runs, the vibration doesn't look too scary, then, what do I know ?

@leopoldo: Could you raise your question as a forum post as it's easier to comment on that post. (see Add a discussions" button above left of this post :-) )
I am using DraftSight at the moment as I want the pieces cut by a laser cutter. The company that does it accepts .dwg files.

This isn't ready for prime time yet, but it already might do some elements of what some builders might want to do ... but at the moment you need to be able to fiddle (just a tiny bit) with python to use it. https://code.google.com/p/madesigner/
It isn't as simple as just using foam, check the vibration using Mission Planner.
Vibration is an issue with APM, in fact, most autopilots, and there are a number of threads on these forums about it.
Guilherme, if you are using a glow engine, you probably have a vibration issue.
Too much vibration, and you overload the processor.
