I'm trying to see what my plane's estimated airspeed was on a recent flight, but I'm unable to locate it. I do not have an airspeed sensor on this plane, so I'm interested in the value that's inferred, which is displayed on the mission planner screen

Is there supposed to be a voltage on the signal wire of the ADC port?
I've installed a SF02 on my plane and it works perfectly if I monitor the output analogue voltage. However, I'm getting nonsensical values on the pixhawk when viewing the rang

I'm about to take the plunge on a Mini Mugin 2.6m from FPVModel. I really prefer it to be electric, so I need some suggestions what to replace the motor with.
It comes with a DLE30 motor swinging a 19" prop. The factory (after my insistence th
When I installed my rssi pin, I changed the RSSI_PIN parameter to 3, for A3, but I could never get a reading. It's always reading from A0 ignoring RSSI_PIN, it seems. I made my peace and changed to A0.
However, I'm installing an airspeed sensor now, w

Cruise mode normally works well, but on my last flight, I had a strange drift which I could not correct. See below.
You can clearly see when switching to Cruise mode, the plane turns to the right continuously, I bring it back, then it turns righ

With the latest update to APM Planner, when I go to Mandatory Hardware / Arduplane Level, I can no longer just "level" my airplane - looks like the accelerometers are being calibrated there, so I need to place the APM on it's side, etc etc - which

Any ideas?

I've clicked on Forum / See all Forum topics, then on the resulting page there is a search block, however it does not find anything with "stabilze" as the keyword?
Read more…After flying two (arduous) 20km FPV flights, I was thinking it would be fantastic to have a mode that would keep the plane heading, altitude and speed. FBW & Stabilize holds the plane level, but it drifts. Auto requires I pre-load waypoints.

I need a replacement GPS, I LOVED the old "small" mtek GPS (this plus this) but 3DR is no longer selling them as a unit. The new "large" GPS units don't fit my model very well and I don't need a battery backup.
I've found this on JDrones site:

Bad idea? If not, where would be the best place to take the powe

I've installed the latest mission planner - thanks Michael for the consistently great work.
Quick question - what's the "Tracker Home" option for in the context menu on the planner screen?
