I went to the FAA website from here in Chile to register my quadcopters, because I'm coming back into the USA with some quadcopters the day after the deadline. I don't mind registering my aircraft, but it would be nice if the FAA could make a website

Aaron

Does anyone know why when I download logs using Planner 1.1.96 from my APM2 running the 2.6 code, I sometimes get a .tlog along with the .log, and sometimes do not?

Read more…Hi all. I'm trying to edit the ArduCopter 2.5.3 code and compile it myself. It's turning out to be surprisingly difficult! Here's where I am now:
I was able to compile using make, with lots of warnings. Then I end up with a .hex and .eep, and don't kn

One of my stock Arducopter motors began to lose power when flying the other day, and quickly developed a more serious problem. Now when I give it power from an ESC it twitches back and forth, rarely completing a rotation. I suspected bad sold
