Hi folks,
I am looking at using an APM2.5 i have spare from an old quadcopter to put into one of my planes.
I am looking at only using the stabilize flight mode, and use the apm as just a really good stabilizer - as my current orangerx stabilizer just

I have UHF for my RC and 1.2Ghz for my video on a Bixler.
Do harmonics only affect higher frequencies?
So my video signal wont interfere with my RC - but my RC might interfere with my video?
Thanks so much!

I am having some issues arming my APM 2.5 quadcopter after adding some fpv gear to it.
I have an Deadcat frame, with 1.2ghz for FPV, 900mhz for telemetry, and 433mhz for RC.
I dont really use the telemetry radios, so i am not worried about t

I have a 9XR that i just started using to fly my APM deadcat quad with.
The problem is that the throttle stick is way too sensitive for me.
I used to fly the quad with a cheaper radio set and the throttle stick seemed great. I had too move th

I have an APM2.5 running on a SK450 with whatever the latest version of arducopter firmware is. Using a ublox gps and 900mhz radio telemetry modules with 2.4 for rc control.
In stabilize mode the quad works great. I fly up to about 5m altitu

I have a kk 2.0 control board on a HAL quadcopter frame, and no matter which P/I settings i change when i throttle up the quad always flies off in a certain direction. At first i thought i had one of the motor mounts off center (as they h

I was hoping someone could clarify for me, if mission planner is required in the field for telemetry from the APM? The reason i ask is i have a lack of a good laptop, and was wondering if i could program the APM using my desktop PC at home,

I am new to using APM and mission planner. Is there a way to set the throttle level through mission planner?
For instance when i set a waypoint can i program the apm to navigate to the next waypoint at a faster throttle, and then change throt

Did the original 900mhz telemtetry kits that have the built in usb adapter on the ground radio get the interference or was it just the 433mhz ones that had limited range because of usb interference?
Also, do you think i can get away with 1.2

I am trying to use a set of 3DR radios to control an arduino board robot through a PC using a controller/gamepad that is hooked up through mission planner.
From what i understand a 3DR radio is more a less just a serial tunnel, but i am no

I am relatively new to drones, especially the APM2.5 and am planning my first build.
The only real problem i have come up against is that i cant figure out how i am going to power the APM2.5 board!
