About Me:
Have been flying fixed wing for 2-3 years and trying to learn the helicopter for a little longer. Started to play around with fixed wing FPV earlier this year which has led me into building my first quadcopter. Looking for a stable film and FPV platform and something different to fly down at my local club. So here I am totally besotted with quadcopters...
Please tell us a bit about your UAV interest
FPV fixed wing and quadcopter noobie. Currently just finished building an xaircraft X650 clone in an APM 2.8.1 quad configuration. Xbee telemetry, immersion rc video and osd combo linked through an Ion Air Pro HD camera. Oh and I've built a 'UFO' skirt which looks awesome in the dark when lit up :)

"Ignore my last comment, have worked it out :)"
"so close but yet so far... sorry to be a complete noob but how do I get the code from github? All it lets me do is navigate down the file structure?"
"TC, top tip thanks, like John I've been struggling to get the code to compile using the sketch compiler. I'm still having trouble seeing any remote telemetry from the apm (quadcopter with the latest version of code loaded) and was hoping updating…"
"Jani, thanks I'll update my APM."
"Hi Jani, thanks just received my board (v1.5). Have hooked it up to my 3dr board but can only seem to receive partial telemetry from the APM. Has an incrementing heartbeat and pulls back the correct pids etc so there is a connection just doesn't…"
"I've contacted them a couple of times but they are slow to respond and don't give out much information. Think these post may have prompted them as I just received an update, apparently awaiting parts and should ship shortly so fngers crossed."
"Love to join in and be in the process of configuring mine but jdrones have been sitting on my order and money for nearly three months now.... they have been showing them as in stock for weeks and my order which was placed in Feb when they were on…"
"I was flying with an eagle tree setup but managed to fry my ESC after changing to a three bladed prop and not retesting with a meter. The ET module think is rated at 100a but I still managed to burn it out when the ESC blew. Thats when I switched to…"
"Hi Andrew, nice to see someone close by. I'm just in the process of building my HK EPPFVP with an APM2.5. Taking a while as I try to cram everything into what looked like a fairly large pod but in practice seems a lot smaller. So far I've mounted…"
"Hi any news when the pre ordered unit will start shipping, ordered mine in early feb and was just wondering?"
"Hi, just got this working and it looks great, good job. Suggestions for further development would include adding landscape rotate to all the screens, I'd look to mount my android device into a GCS case and the landscape orientation has some of the…"
Hello, thought I'd have a play at communicating with my apm2.5 over Bluetooth. I have a ftdi BT card that I had previously used on a multiwii board. Is there any reason it won't just connect and work on the APM. Next question, is there any threads…
"When I first upgraded to 2.8.1 I was getting very fast uncontrolled flips on takeoff turned out I had the prop directions reversed, sounds obvious but was scratching my head for a while before I realised."
"Will need to check PID settings when I get home (am flying with the default values with no adjustments) and repost later.
