Boas61 replied to Boas61's discussion Nano Talon or similar plane, with Pixhawk - is it possible?
"Yes, as posted, I went for the mini talon and I am very pleased with it. With the payload (pixhawk 2.1 and a 200 g. sensor + generic hardware) I would not choose a smaller platform. If you use a Pixracer or similar it is possible to cut quite some…"

Boas61 replied to Seppo's discussion RFD900, RFD900+ - New long range radio modem
"Hi
I am also curious about powering the RFD900 externally or from the flight controller. It would be simpler to power the radio from the flight controller, so this is my preferred solution. Is it not recommended to do so because you risk to damage…"

"Thanks a lot for your input. I have decided to go for the slightly larger mini talon, and modify it to make the v-tail removable."

Boas61 commented on Scott Fuller's blog post Mini Talon
"Hi.
Thanks for sharing your experiences. I want to ask if the wings can be detached from the body of the plane, for easier transport? I am looking for a fixed wing UAV platform that can be carried around when traveling.
Thanks in advance
Andreas"

Boas61 replied to Boas61's discussion Compass heading not turning as much as plane
"When the plane is moving, the GPS heading and compass heading are off by 10-70 degrees. In Mission Planner, a pink curved line appears out from the plane icon. Is this indicating that the compass and GPS headings are not the same?
I have been flying…"

HiI have a problem with the external compass on my APM 2.6, mounted in a plane. I have been flying in Northern Europe without any problems, and have now brought my plane to Greenland. After having changed to the correct magnetic declination and…

Boas61 replied to Boas61's discussion Bluetooth connection between APM and Mission Planner
"I know the thread is old, but I just want to "close" the topic. As replied by floyd and Dave, the bluetooth module HC 05 is not worth it. I never got it to work and bought a cheap telemetry-kit instead."
