"Is the futaba 8FG similar or is there anyone who has instructions for the 8FG?"
Is the default altitude AGL or ASL (absolute altitude)? If default altitude = AGL this could explain why I keep gaining altitude while in FBW_B and AUTO.Could someone also give me a description of what Energy/Alt PID adjustment controls or changes…
"Information on programming the flight modes can be found here. As for the failsafe I haven't bothered with it on my radio or APM."
"Here is what I have done. Its pretty simple, I am running a four stroke .70 and I'm not having any trouble with gyro drift."
I had everything working and in the tuning phase but something has gone wrong. Even if I put it in STABILIZE while on the ground and move the plane around, roll and pitch are indicated with the attitude indicator but no servos move. I also went into…
"I found this that was really helpful on explaining what each one does. I dont remember if I found it here or somewhere else.

"Precision agriculture - excuse me for going a little off topic but this all ties in with the IR and what it us used for in our farming opperation.
Some of the things we are doing with GPS: at this time we are planting with 5 tractors/planters in…"

"To be honest with you - not exactly sure on the camera side of things. I'm into RC, have been for years, I was asked about the possabilities of setting up a UAV project that could carry the cameras and fly the course. The farm that I work for put…"
"The project that I am working on is to eventually take IR photos of our crops where I work. You have to take 1 digital photo and 1 IR photo at the same time. You then overlay one with the other and then you are able to determine plant health and…"
I am interested in the basics of what each of the 12 PID paramaters actualy controls and the relation of one to another.....I have read and really have a pretty good grip on PID's, the adjustments and gain factors. Servo - roll, pitch, yaw. …
The title says it all, most interested in fixed wing myself but thought the rotor wing / copter guys might like one too.
"listed under parameters.h
'AP_Int16' does not name a type
I believe this is what starts the string of many errors"

Downloaded APM 2.1.2 unzipped, opened with Arduino 0022, clicked on verify - I haven't made any changes yet - all kinds of errors.

I was having a similar problem. Read down through the thread."

I flew 4 missions today 1 I would consider somewhat successfull. I have tried using both APMPlanner and HK GCS.I planned and loaded the missions verifying altitudes of waypoints and altitude of my home possition everything looks good. I write them…
"Thanks Happy
I saw the first post that was similar to this, ordered the parts, and then the details from the posts were deleted and a link added to ebay.
Planning on removing a 3 pos switch in my Futaba 7ch guessing it will be similar, ordered a…"
