Hello,
I have tried to hold altitude "manually" in stabilize mode, APM2.5, V2.9.1b, quadcopter.
When I have the throttle stick at about hover, I try not to touch it. I used expo on my radio to make it easier to find the right stick position.
Then I try

In the APM2.5 configuration, for quadcopter firmware (not hexa, not Y6, etc), how is Channel 8 input of the receiver processed by APM ?
I would like to use Channel 8 to use a servo. How can I configure this (without modifying the firmware in APM

IWhen runing the motors of my quad, I hear (seems more at low speed than high speed) some short clicking sounds. Seems to come from the motors.
Does anynoe knows what this is ?
Thx,

I have this kind of curves on a few minutes of flight with 3DR radio telemetry, at short distance (thus not caused by long distances). Seems to be increasing radio rx errors. What does this mean ? Do I have an issue with a cable ? or antenna pr

I use the modded T9X with ER9X firmware.
Until now I had it simply programmed and configured to use the 4 channels for yaw, roll, tilt, throttle and the fifth channel for 6-mode selection.
I find it very sensitive at around 50% throttle to find the

Edit : from the posts below I deduce the issue seems specific to my config. Threfore I remove temporarily my request to add a line a caution in the wiki as it might not be a general problem for everyone, until further investigation and identificat

I notice a strange behaviour on my new H frame build. I reused the same APM2.5, version 2.9.1b that I had on my previous quad which worked perfectly.
Normally (that's what I read on the wiki and this how my previous quad behaved) when you progra

Is an H frame supported by APM/arducopter?
(there seem to be only X or + config, what applies to an H frame quad ?)
MHello,
I'd like to share my experience and experiments with the use of the sonar on my quad.
The config is the following:
-Quad 3DR base frame rev C
-880Kv motors, 11 x 4,7 props
-4S 4500 ma battery
-Sonar MB1260 XL-MaxSonar-EZL0 (bought in the 3DR kit)

I did a trial/error PID tuning this last week-end for the following:
-Quadcopter (modified 3DR frame rev C base)
-APM2.5, 880Kv motors, 11x4.7 props
-4S 4500mah lipo
-Total weight (battery included) : 2,1 Kg (or about 4 pounds)
I did step by step m

I flew manually in stabilise and collected this log, drawing PITCH vs PITCH IN (and THrottle):
Is it normal that the two curves picth and pitch IN look so different ? Or do I have something wrong ?
Randy , what do u think of such a graph ?

Hello,
Relatively new to my quadcopter, I've been flying until now (I started two weeks ago) only in stabilize mode using my turnigy radio as the single way command the quad.
I did not yet try missions.
I am training on a football field (100 meters x 70

I had to replace two of my props after a crash. So I ordered two new ones but they are from a different brand/supplier and not exactly the same material : two of them are APC, the two other are Turnigy plastic. The turnigy are more flexible tha

I was doing my first flights today. And guess what... I crashed !
The crash did happen because the quad flipped (fortunately I was landing and thus almost on the ground) at the same time that one propeller collet came loose off the motor's shaft

I noticed some strange short throttle drop outs by displaying a graph of the Throttle IN and Throttle OUT data (from the mission planner log browser). It happens when the throttle stick is quite low (I would say around 10-25%). The throttle out
