Folks,A friend of mine is considering using a quadcopter in locations where ground level is 13,000' (4000m). Does anyone have any experience flying at that altitude? I guess this breaks down into a few questions:1. Is it possible for a quadcopter…
I've recently been playing with a Naza-M. There's a little board out that allows you to use MinimOSD and/or a pair of 3DR modems with the Naza called FBOSD. Here's a link to Jay's website: http://firebug24k.com/index.php.When using the modems there…
"Kevin,

The APM can not control the direction of the motors. If any of them are turning the wrong way for the arm they are installed on you have to switch any two of the three wires going from the ESC to the motor. This will reverse it's direction.…"

Hi,I'm new to the group and quadcopters, not new to R/C and have decent computer ability. Just a quick background. I've flown R/C for many more years than I'd care to admit. Planes, heli's, gas, electric, some gliders. Built most of my stuff but the…
