Hi , :D
this question was posted a few days ago and I have an aditional concern about the GPS matter.
I updatet the APM 2.5 to Arducopter v.2.8.1 hexa with the GPS connected. Would this erase the data from the GPS too ???????

Hi guys,
For the past couple of months, I've been helping a friend with his APM 2.5 and APM 2.0 equipped octos and hexas and we haven't had success with getting rid of the often fatal motor hiccups on both the 2 and 2.5 boards. With some bench testin

I was flying my 3DR hexacopter for the second time today. All went fine, loiter, circle, stabilize, alt hold etc. After 10 minutes I was loitering at 1-2 meters (3-6 feet) when all of a sudden the copter took off at 9-10 m/sec and cartwheeled i

Greetings folks!
My team has a bone stock 3DR Quad-C with APM 2.5. We have successfully flown it after assembly but have recently had brownout problems and gyro problems. While hovering 3 or 4 feet, the motors suddenly die out and it falls flat hard.
My Futaba has a reduced power output function intended for range checks.
On a regular copter/airplane this would be simple, just keep walking backwards wiggling the sticks an make note when the rudder movements cease or become erratic. Since my hexac

I have an HT-FPV and 3DR C frame but I thought I use the 3DR frame to learn to fly.
I went to the park today with the 3DR frame, 11 x 47 props to learn how to fly. I couldn't believe how ma

I have a question, if I buy the motor AC2836-358, 880Kv, what kind of ESC do I have to buy, the ESC 20 Amp or the ESC 30 Amp, why and why not the other?
I used Mission Planner to plan simple waypoints missions. But it was a problem to use CONDITION_CHANGE_ALT command. I couldn't set the Rate (1st parameter) more than 80 cm/sec. Also the Alt parameter (the last one) wasn't stored (or transfered) to AP
