About Me:
I have been flying RC planes for about 10 years. My interest in the RC world has led me to becoming a commercial pilot. I'm currently not flying due to our sweet economy but hoping for next year.
Please tell us a bit about your UAV interest
Just getting in to this sweet hobby. Excited to do a combination of Autopilot flying with FPV as well.

"How did you resolve this issue with the DragonLink setup?"
"Did you have to do any channel mapping in the mission planner to get the channels correct. I connected my dx7s to the dragon via the trainer port. When I connect my Dragon Link receiver to the apm through the PPM channel I get connectivity but the…"
"Have you guys found a solution to this yet. The channel mapping makes sense but I need the failsafes to work. Have you guys tried what Bill Bonney said about disabling the ppm encoder? I've read it 10 times and still Have no idea how to disable it.…"
I'll be up in the mountains this weekend doing some testing and flying with my Bixler and there will not be any phone service. Is it possible for my to download the arduplane manual for off line access? Thanks
"Graham
Thanks for taking the time to review my log. I definitely will increase my altitude for future missions. Currently I'm using the Bixler Configuration I downloaded from the manual. The throttle setting is at 45%. I'm pretty sure I was on the…"

"I did not have my telemetry plugged in so I do not have a .tlog but my .log is linked at the top of my first post. I appreciate you looking in to this. Any pointers or feedback is super helpful."
"Thanks for the response on this. In regards to the CMD_INDEX the complete parameter list says:
Current mission command index (ArduPlane:CMD_INDEX)
Note: This parameter is for advanced users
The index of the currently running mission item. Do not…"

"Thanks for taking a look. Yes I have learned that I need to fly higher on these autopilot missions. I researched the CDM_INDEX error and didn't find much information. What did you think about the way point radius? Are those too small and close?…"
"Keeyen
Did you ever find out why your CMD_INDEX was showing 0. I am currently having the same problem. Any help would be greatly appreciated."

2014-03-08%2013-17-09.kmz2014-03-08%2013-17-09.logLast Saturday I tried my first auto flight with my Bixler 2 and APM 2.6. This is my third autopilot. The first ended after a brown-out in a skywalker, the second was lost in a quadcopter crash when…
"Thanks for the quick responses. I'm glad to see I wasn't the only one trying to get this figured out. It makes sense that your last input would be the primary mode. I figured for FPV flying with my quad its mode 1 = stabilized mode, mode 2 =…"
I have a DX7S and can only get 3 flight modes out of my three way toggle switch. I am going to make my 7th channel RTL. When I hit this switch will it overide the current flight mode that I'm in? This is what I am hoping for. Thanks in advance!!!
"Yeah, I'm in the same boat you are. The seetings are not there anymore. I saw in a similar post that you use the default altitude on the mission planner screen. I posted this question last night and to my surprise no response. I understand using it…"
About a month ago there was a RTL set-up on the configuration screen. It allowed you to set the altitude you wanted your quadcopter to climb to when RTL was engaged, the speed it would return to the launch point, and what altitude it would go to…
I recenlty purchased a DJI 450 with the DJI motors and ESC. I also purchased the APM 2.5 for the controller. It's all built and I have been trying to calibrate the DJI ESCs with no luck. I have tried the automatic calibration as well as the manual…
