Hello
Seems that traditional heli is fadding off ....
I'm trying to check the latest ardupilot traditional heli setup on trex450, in order to later scale up to 550 and 700 helis.
i'm puzzeled about using the miniVbar flybarless controler with the pixha

Newbie to APM helicopter and need some advice. I have used APM 2.6 and 2.8 board for a few years now on quads and tricopters. I have watched videos of APM helicopters flying waypoint missions with no input from the transmitter a they

I started a new project with a Raptor E550 using a Pixhawk.
I mounted the Pixhawk in front of the frame. Normal orientation.
The GPS was mounted in the tail boom 700mm away from the Pixhawk.
In my first tests the heli was very unstable and was sh

My first two attempts were unsuccessful and that could be very expensive. If it's a secret, I would be willing to pay for it (Paypal) :-)
