Beside the bloating of the phone/tablet with extra icons apps, , what good reason is there to need two separate applications ?

Read more…During tesing of motor-off recovery at safe altitude (60meters), the quad fell stright down, - propellers were spinning backwards, and motors stalled, not being able to turn in right direction.
At much too low altitude, the quad rolled, making 2 of th

For some AUTO missions, failsafe needs to be disabled. When the mission prohibits heading towards home from any point (could hit a mountain) or is expected to fly beyond reliable control range. Even momentary RTL can be disruptive for aerial photo m

While AUTR and RTL works perfectly fine.
What can cause this ? - Arduplane 2.73
Read more…Hi, Is there something that should be tuned/changes after upgrading as mentioned in subject ?
Especially during level flight, huge, rapid changes in RPM can be heard.
Read more…with lots of new snow, I decided to test recovery time needed to stop the fall if motors stopped during the flight.
I did it the way I see this accident to happend. - while in loiter, I took the throttle stick all the way down, for descend - then - s
Read more…Michael (& the team?) did great job on this one, as far as I could see, it works flawlessly on Mono, it's the first release in a long time that works perfectly fine.
Thank you - Keep up the good work
Read more…from 1.2.12 and till todays 1.2.15 - mission planner does not work well with MONO.
where are we heading ? Windows is not a viable platform this century.
Are there plans to get back to API's that work with mono, or, even better to compile a multi-platfo

Installed current Arducopter firmware on APM 2.5
Unlike my plane, when RX (PPM) loses signal, or is disconnected from APM - then the APM just freezes last RC input values, and so, fails to detect connection loss.
Read more…one of my APM 2.5 - it never flew, fails to init accel. - no red+blue blinking.
I found that the 3v3 line is 4.7v. , when powered with 5v over USB.
-Disconnected 3v3 regulator output . the 3v3 line is still 4.7 volt.
- something must be feeding it.

By fails to boot - i mean no servo movement in manual mode, nor any movement when switching to other modes.

Besides the compass mess. - I'd experienced something really strange a few times.
-I let it run on my workbench for hours, when I get back - the AHI is looping and/or rollin
Read more…Because of inverted compass, as described in another thread, my 3DR + brand new APM2 went down, and it took 5 days to get a SCUBA diver to get it (I sold my SCUBA equipment a while year ago)
I memorised the position where it went down by observing the

The APM2 is mounted so that the SD card is in front left corner. - and GPS up, of course, do please don't ask that :)
