With the advent of new multicopter's like the Lily (https://www.youtube.com/watch?t=65&v=4vGcH0Bk3hg) which is designed specifically for completely autonomous flight without a traditional R/C has anyone considered who's responsible for the aircraft,

I upgraded to 1.2.22 today and when I changed flight modes the HUD didn't display the new mode, instead an error msg complaining about a 1300 value came up.
I didnt have time to t

I did this test, I removed the prop, then I connected up the battery without having the transmitter on, a few seconds later the motor start, and then I connected the telemetry and

I've just completed 5 flights with my Penguin and I would have to say that it is a pleasure to build and fly. It has all the benefits of a Skywalker, but so far none of the bad char

Both APM v1.0 have been working flawlessly.
After receiving my APM 2.0, I installed it into a X5 Wing. Just flying circuits at my local flying field in manual mode, about 3-5 mins into the flight mid way t

As a manned aircraft pilot I would expect to see airspeed in knots, and altitude in feet. But

The problem is in stablise mode, when the aircraft is banked to the left, the left elevon should go down, and the right elevon should got up, to

It uses dual band 802.11n wifi, an whilst they quote 100m, I'm hoping to get 200m using a high powered Ubiquiti Networks Nanostation M access point.
I will post results when I r

I've seen a few videos of multicopters flying in light rain, but I would have thought that the rain would short out the motors?
Read more…I know that Arducopter2 supports camera stabilisation, so what I would like is to have an APM that is dedicated to just camera stablisation.
Can anyone help by cutting down a version of the AC2 code to just have the APM board do camera gimbal stablisa
Read more…Does anyone know of any propeller guards that can be easily fitted to a quad/hexa.
I'm thinking an tube that on one end has a 1/4 to 1/2 semi circle and connects or straps to the motor arm.
I've got a standard arducopter quad frame with 880kv and 12x4.5 props
As soon as I arm the quad even at 10% throttle my quad wants to bank to the right.
I'm in stabilize mode, and I've tested the quad in my hand, it does what it should which is fight
