"I did this years ago but I was not using APM or pixhawk. The code simply increased the power
as the distance from the boat to the target point increased... Eventually it would stabilize and sit very still
while facing the target point. It was…"

"Ok.. I am listening. I just read that you charged the battery and everything is fine... Interesting"
"There is no failure mode of a battery that will kill a charger... This is a fact.
You asked the question in the first post but have all ready come to your own
conclusion, so whats the point if you will not listen.
if you want help.. listen close..…"

"I don't think a battery can blow a charger...
If you blew 2 chargers and then the power supply..... it sounds like to me the power supply started acting up
and it blew the chargers and then it died itself... a battery can't do that..."

"For my work in Aerial Photography, I take off and land off the back of my truck all the time... With practice... no problem..."
"I agree... but some other strange things happen...
#1... I was only ~200 meters away... earlier I was much further...
#2... when then copter leveled out... I had little control and it was jumping around a lot... see tilt or roll axis..

A very reliable Hex fell 300 feet today... good thing I was at 400 feet because it recovered...But I had to fight to get it back...I am not very good at looking at these logs..It looks like the throttle input, to the APM, went to zero for a few…
"Well to fix this problem, you have done everything I can think of... I did have a copter one time
with really cheep ESCs that had the same problem... I don't remember how I fixed it...
Maybe... try a 5th ESC, different kind, and bypass the APM…"

Large Hex with APM 2.5.. 3.0.1...Lots of time flying... No problems... Very stable... Loiter Perfect after tuning...Take off, kind of fast... Motor #1 stops in the air... copter spirals down... does not power upwhen I apply more power...I figured…

I want to build one like this but how do I turn off the APM during forward flight.. ?Or can I turn P down to zero with ch6 and the APM will do nothing in forward flight ?Eddie Weekswww.jetlens.comhttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TQqSDFQ2Ntw
"BTW.... I could just plug a 4.8 volt batt into the receiver then power up the copter... that works...
But I want this to be done right..
Just saying"
