I am flying with Ardu Plane Version 2.4. I am attempting a specific mission, and I need to perform a change in my elevator trim parameter. I looked into using the do set parameter, and I saw in the wiki that this is currently not being used Ardu…
"Andrew,
I have been trying to get inverted flight to work for quite some time now, with no luck. I think i finally figured out what the problem was. The inverted flight channel does not account for the pitch compensation parameter. I happen to have…"

Just curious if anyone else is having this problem.I tried upgrading to Ardu Plane v2.26 and my differential ailerons are not working in stability, FBW or Auto modes. I still have manual control, but if i flip to stability mode and roll the…
"You had mentioned before that you may turn your attentions to flaperons here in the near future. Just curious if that was still a feature that you were planning on adding. Not to downplay what you have done so far (the auto flap feature looks really…"
"Another advantage is if you are using an airspeed sensor to to maintain airspeed. If you are going into a stiff enough wind (15mph out of the north) and your airspeed is set to 12 mph (flying into the north) then you will actually be drifting…"
"Did you make sure that your Energy/Alt PID wasn't turned up too high? This will cause the throttle to pulse in order to keep perfect altitude. If you turn the gain down the pulse will get much less noticeable, at the expense of maintaining altitude…"
Question for the designers. Will APM (for airplanes) support a magnetometer any time soon? I understand that usually you don't need it because you can rely on the GPS, but I am interested in a special mission that would require a magnetometer. Any…
I have been researching this all day and I cannot figure it out. I bought the Xbee kit from DIY Drones a few weeks ago, and the system worked great right off the bat, but now I am having problems with it. I downloaded X-CTU and I was able to get in…
"What does SVN stand for...?"
I am trying to figure out the best way to power my APM. I have read through the manual and seen that their are several different ways to do it. My current configuration is a fixed wing aircraft with a 3s lipo battery, 4 small servos, an Xbee…
