Is the motor shaft removeable on DIY Drones Motor AC2830-358, 850Kv? If so, how would I remove the shaft? I have slightly bent a shaft, and have an extra motor. I was hoping I could just replace the shaft without having to cut the wires to the ESC…

Do the accelerometer readings determine the position after the initial GPS read or does the copter rely solely on GPS readings for the loiter and auto modes?Also, I am in the process of fine-tuning loiter mode, and it still makes wide circles about…

My 3DR ARTF arducopter from Udrones will not stabilize against the wind. I have APM 1. The arducopter drifts with any wind in stabilize. Is there any PID settings I can change to correct this drift? It is impossible to fly in a controlled hover with…

Which file(s) are the navigation equations located in the arducopter software?My Arducopter won't follow any waypoint missions in auto. It goes completely off course(30-40m). I also set the default altitude at 1m(I have a sonar), but it climbs till…

I am attempting to create a HIL simulation with arducopter, but the X-plane arducopter model is not recognized by X-plane. I am using the QRO_X model to simulate arducopter, but when I try to open the aircraft in X-plane I receive the error:I tried…

When I try to upload the HIL firmware for the arducopter quad(or any other firmware through mission planner), I receive this error:Failed to get Firmware List: the 'meta' start tag on line 5 does not match the end tag of 'head'. Line 6, position 7 I…

Problems seen when trying to configure arducopter:1. Loss of binding with the transmitter frequently during configuration steps or inability to bind2. Inability to calibrate all esc's-one motor always has a problem(twitching or no response)3.…
