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 All,
I am planning on building an RMRC Anaconda and configure it with a Pixhawk. There is a great Anaconda discussion thread on RCGroups, but I would like to know if any of the ArduPlane User Group members has successfully configured the Anaconda with a Pixhawk and got it to fly successfully?

Hi guys, I can not download HIL for ardupilot; however, i can download ardupilot for helicopters; please see the forum post i made on the issue ;http://diydrones.com/forum/topics/pixhawk-set-up-problems
can anyone please help me, i am stuck because i can not check my stick inputs at all for the simulation tab. I do not want to fly the plane without testing it; any ideas please

What is the proper level calibration method for a flying wing like the RVJET? I am having a tough time getting FBWA and LOITER to work correctly without the aircraft diving into the ground. I almost have to pitch the aircraft 25 degree nose up for it to fly level. that doesn't seem right?

Hello,
I bought a skywalker with apm 2.6 & fpv, I learned the basics of piloting aircraft manual. I would take a few days of training to learn the basic use of mission planner and apm 2.6 against remuneration. I am ready to move me in europe and to provide the material, I have not found anyone in France for training so if you can provide me with this please do not hesitate to contact me
I am using old firmware 2.74 to be precise
so what you think I should do is upgrade the firmware and then use this setting?
@Dave Smith
Hi Dave thanks for the reply
I switch my radio on first then plug plane
then I wait until plane has got solid blue for gps lock
then I go to mission planner and click connect
motor starts up for a couple of seconds and then stops
I dont think there is a "arming" feature for planes?
Hi
When I connect to my ground station my plane's motor starts to run for about 3 seconds and then stops again.
I don't know how to fix this problem, it is very dangerous
If some one knows how to fis this please help
Its and apm 2.6
to control throw in auto mode or FBW mode. lower the values of rll2servo_imax and ptch2rvo_imax parameters. do not lower than 500.
What is the proper method to limit the control throws in Arduplane for an airframe with large control throws (e.g. a 3D plane as an extreme example)?
Should I lower the P gains, or should I put my transmitter into low rates and calibrate it like that in MP?
