About Me:
I have been building anbd flying all types of RC nitro planes for 3 years.
Please tell us a bit about your UAV interest
Curious to see how easy it is to convert one of my planes to be a UAV and what I can do with it.

I have a Pixhawk on a large wing so using elevons. I ran Autotune and it seems pretty good but about 25 minutes into an Auto flight I got a bit of oscillation. being elevons it’s more difficult to tell if it’s roll or pitch but it looks like roll to…

I need a telemetry system for my Mini Talon fitted with a Pixhawk. There are so many options and opinions so I'm struggling to work out what's best. Here's what I want:Plane will fly autonomously up to 20KM away, not always in line of sight.I want…
"The underfin is to protect the solid prop and also give more yaw stability as it was a bit lacking without. The wingtips are standard out of the box.
I hand launch as it has more than enough power."

Is there a way of completely resetting an APM2 back to factory default?
I have an APM2 with latest firmware. If I switch to stabilization mode, then when I open the throttle the elevator moves gradually up and ailerons move so that the plane would climb and bank right.Am I missing something?It doesn't do it with…
With a plane do I have to set my last way point as RTL or will it do it automatically if the last way point is a regular way point?
"OK. Wll check. Thanks."
Getting ready for my first flight and am not sure about the compass_ofs settings for the x, y and z axis to allow for metal in the plane.My plane has very little metal in it? Do I set these to zero or is there some way to calibrate or will it self…
"This looks very cool. Will I be able to use it to program and load missions just as I do with my laptop.
Will it power the APM as my laptop does when connected by cable?
Good work"

"I'm in Hastings. Just fitted my APM2 in a home made nitro powered Delta so God knows what will happen. Probably not an ideal plane. First set up flight as soon as it warms up a bit....
Anyone close to me?
Would be interested to meet."

If I want my plane to fly 100m above the launch site and stay 100m above the ground whether the ground rises or falls (i.e. follow the terrain), do I check both the 'Hold Default Alt' and 'Veryify height' boxes or just the 'Verify Height' box and…
I will fit my ArduPilot 2.0 in my nitro powered trainer. I set up the ArduPilot as on this video http://youtu.be/Q9xSeXOi4igBasically battery to receiver, then aileron and 3 position switch (Aux 2 on my DX8) from receiver to ArduPilot, and servo…
This all very new to me so there's a big learning curve. I am fitting my ArduPilot Mega 2 in a large nitro plane I have. I have also got the airspeed sensor for the APM2 which I will connect.A few questions that I'm stuck on:How do I set the…
