"This project seems like a very realistic and well defined one, unlike many I have seen in the crowdsourced space. I am interested to know some of the answers to the questions on the KS Comments page, such as gimbal type, and ability to direct the…"
"I have done quite a bit of flying on ArduCopter/Pilot platforms and I can attest to this not being the norm. I have had issues with APM (and all other FCUs), but one thing I can say, every issue I have ever had is experienced on or shortly after…"
"Too bad you aren't looking for web application or API developers :X"
""Stuart Turner could soon be looking round the Grand Canyon or Niagra Falls" unfortunately he will not due to state park regulations."
"This would have never happened with helicopter/airplane photography..... We really are on a precipice of personal privacy. Either as a whole we will agree everyone does things like this and there is no reason to be ashamed, or we will lock…"
"http://www.csgshop.com/product.php?id_product=170 $65 if anyone was wondering.... had to look it up myself. Not bad."
"Just to note, the sub 400mm quads tend to have high levels of vibration, have you checked the vibration levels to confirm that is not an issue? For the minis I find the major boards do not work so well. I know the OpenPilot project also suffers from…"
"Do you have any documentation on the rover build or how those rollers in the wheels are controlled? I assume some custom code within the ArduRover branch?"
"Pretty impressive that a common thief criminal is savvy enough to not only assemble the quad properly but also mount a FLIR that is not an easy feat for many of us here, not to mention the cost of that FLIR. Sadly though as with every technology it…"
"I personally do not see a big issue with enforcing these types of zones. I do if it is politically motivated, for example their first bans appeared based on political request not safety concerns. Though, this seems like something that should be in…"
"Do you have the barometer covered with some foam? Sounds like that could be causing your issues. While APM does handle wind pretty well, the rapid change of pressure can cause issues.
The toilet bowl symptom is typically magnetometer issues which…"

"Wanted to update this thread just so everyone knows what my issue was.
1) I installed the CN06 Plus by RCTimer which isolated the FCU for vibration and moved the FCU further from the ESCs
2) This also installed an external magnetometer
Once…"

"Okay, I have tried searching on this and came up with no results. This is my 3rd quad build and the only one I directly hardwired the ESCs to the the batteries. There is no power distribution PCB on this quad, like I have on my other two. Instead I…"
"I am running a one year old APM 2.5 with the internal compass. I seem to have resolved the tilting, not exactly sure what did it but now since I am using Andropilot for telemetry I have been getting occasional "check mag field" errors that…"
"Okay I have done the following
- Added some vibration dampening to the APM 2.5 board (has double sided 3m tape on the 4 corners 3 pieces thick)
- Balanced Props (I did notice a vibration reduction upon takeoff)
- Secured battery better (just in…"

I can not seem to understand what is happening here and I thought I would reach out for some assistance. After flying in stabilization mode for about 5-15 seconds the quad will slowly start to pitch harder and harder to the aft of quad. I fight it…
