About Me:
RAF ICT Technician of 12 years, been flying RC for past 3 years, FPV for the last year, now starting to get interested in RPAS/UAV
Please tell us a bit about your UAV interest
Started with FPV about a year ago, but with RPAS(remotely piloted air systems) becoming more prevalent in the worlds military forces, I'd like to start getting involved in private sector uses of RPAS.

"This is just hilarious. I started this thread nearly a year ago, and since then I've had a steady flow of "X has replied to your discussion" in my inbox.
I find it beyond belief that this is still happening.
as for "don't overtighten the screws"…"

I say "initialise" purely because thats what it says it's doing when I go to the "flight modes" screen... initializingSo I set up the APM2.5 as per the wiki, everything was going really well. installed latest arduplane firmware, wrote bixler params…
"definitely too short these screws, i have the box lined up correctly"
bought this http://unmannedtechshop.co.uk/uav-components/ardupilot-mega-uk/ardu... it arrived super quick, but the screws that come with the case are not long enough. It comes with 8 screws.... 4 x identical very…
I'm currently building a Tricopter and hope to use my APM2.5 on it as the FC, but does arducopter support/feature a point of interest function such as that seen in the video here? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t0MgZKKQX6UI'm not talking about…
"thrust generated by propellers must be greater than weight of quadcopter"
Primarily going to use the RTH and Stability functionality of APM2.5 for FPV purposes in my new Bixler 2, but will eventually build a more suitable UAV airframe for ground mapping
"I shall be installing the Hobbyking KK2.0 board this week for some stabilisation whilst I wait for my APM 2.5 to arrive. I'm looking at bigger LiPos now and with that hatch cut into the side I can fit the LiPo in there with the KK2.0(and later the…"

"I will place the APM in here:
Right under the CG.
As for flight times, I'm currently running a 1450kv motor from Giantshark (clicky) with a 8x6e TGS prop. it's a bit gutless in terms of thrust but with the flaps deployed the Bixler 2 gains…"

Just thought I'd show some pictures of my new Bixler 2 FPV build. Had a few FPV flights already and have just ordered APM2.5 so will be able to get stuck in to UAV uses soon. I would like to use this as an aerial mapping platform to create google…
"What would you like to know? there are various solutions for multirotor flight controllers. I personally have used the KK multicopter board, and the CopterControl from OpenPilot. I have just pre-ordered the ArduPilotMega V2 (purple board) so I look…"
