We are experiencing some stability issues flying our Y6, it tends to yaw a little to the left.
We made the frame ourselves and we are using 750kV motor with 14" x 4.7 props.
We used the APM2 as micro computer and we followed the motor arrangement from

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'm a relative newbie here, been lurking on the forums while building a 3D robotics Hexa (APM 2.5) with the bigger motors and props. I'm controlling it with a Spectrum 7 and It's all set-up and flying. There's only one problem - the right sti

My friend and I are just arriving to the forum in hopes of helping our fire department set up a UAV platform for HAZMAT scene surveys (and other applications). We're thinking about buying a pre-built HexaCopter and mounting a camera, for starte
Read more…Hello -
Has anyone successfully implemented battery monitoring on an APM2/2.5 without the Attopilot sensor? My main reasons are for weight and simplicity, as I am currently using my APM2.5 on a micro-sized quadcopter.
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks,

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?
Well I haven't used my APM2 Mega purple for a while, it always flew OK but I could never quite get the position and rtl to work right after upgrading the firmware
