Can anyone tell me how can I fly my copter keeping costant distance between it and the ground, I want to use google earth data to achieve this, I think it is possible but I have some problem to figure it out...

I found this page were they offer RTF Li-ion packs and they says that are 3C discharge; anyone test them here? if 3c it's real, looks interesting for a long endurance quad. :)

So I wonder if PIXHAWK can receive the GPS p

I recently switched to an external GPS/compass (3DR) and resolved some EKS variance issues I was having. Woohoo. So, I went out today to test a few things (Loiter being one of them). When switching into Loiter the quad would start to drift and

I'm relatively new in the APM world so I would appreciate any help or advice.

I recently assembled a new octo-copter(running 3.3.3) with a LIDAR.
In loiter mode, it can hold the height good.
But in auto mode(the Dalt is 8m), it will drop slowly, the LIDAR's result is almost 2m.
I wonder the pixhawk does not use the L
