I have been away from APM since last summers firmware and I just finished testing Loiter in firmware 3.1.5 on APM 2.5 compared to naza. Basically APM takes a more aggressive approach to position hold. So It does seem more "accurate", but NAZA…"

"Andrew, Paul
Thanks so much for the excellent explanations and all your work to get this out to us. I am heading out tomorrow to do further tuning based on your suggestions.
Thanks again

Can I ask - If I am using arduplane without an airspeed sensor (I have some on order) should I use the default TECS speed/height controller on or disable it until the airspeed sensor is installed and calibrated?
thanks

"Hi John
You have an excellent project, and many of us here would find this really interesting and fun to build this as part of our hobby.
You have received excellent advice above. The main issue is if you do not have experience in the remote…"

"Thanks Guys for your support !!
I'll keep plugging away but certainly any help on the firmware side would be great.
Yes the single motor with belt driven rotors would be a step up for sure. I am looking at using 450 size tail rotors. Will keep you…"

"Hi Randy
Thanks for the tip on rate p and your interest in this.
I have set it up so that throttle goes directly to a 3 way divider cable and then to the speed controllers. I then set a throttle curve in the radio to allow the motors to shut down at…"

I have been building a variable pitch tricopter and wanted to share my results so far.Basically - I chose a tri and not a quad, because the tri geometry is the same as a traditional heli 120 deg swash plate. Since I can't write a firmware on my own,…
"Here is a list of my various attempts
1 - radio programed as 120 deg swash and used airplane stabilizer - worked but not great
2 - used a commercial heli flybarless system - it flew , but could not set gains low enough
3- used my ardupilot mega -…"

"The reason I chose a tri and not a quad is because I could use of the shelf fc board that allows separation of throttle and pitch - hence a flybar less approach and a mock 120 deg swash

"+1 For stable branch as well. A great deal of effort continues to be put in by Jason and team and I for one am greatly appreciative, However, last weekend I was out with my arducopter 0.50 and my Mikrokopter, and a friend had the new DJI on a hex.…"
Hi folks This is a bit off topic but hopefully I can get advise on this I currently have three quads including a 400mm mikropter which is still my most reliable platform but I am really happy with my arduquads and I am likely not to continue the…
