"Actually neither. It is a double stack of red colored boards.
Have I been away that long that they disappeared?"

The site has changed a lot!What happened to all the documentation for the mechanical set up for the 2x ardupilot?
I flew the quad for a good 10 minutes, changes the battery and played around hovering.I flicked the CH5 switch to go from Stabile to Loiter.Immediately, the craft flipped over and burrowed in to the ground.I broke a motr, a motor mount and a…
I can see that the initial setting of level is important in flight. Makes sence.But how are you establishing that the craft is indeed at a level state? I bought a "bulls eye" level and mounted it on the top deck of the craft and I lift and lower…
"I cannot get this to load. OpenTK.graphicserrorexception.
Is there something I should load prior to trying to run it?"

"AARRGGHH.
5 new ESCs in the mail. They disappeared into the void after leaving Massachusetts....
That confirms NYS is a black hole.....
I have the quad stripped and ready on my kitchen table waiting for these parts..."

"Ok. Now I am confused.
I have the APM 1.4 system set up in the X form. In one config wiki it says the APM is to face prop #3 and another facing between 1 and 3...
So what is it supposed to be?"

"Excellent. Thank you!"
"I soldered the 3 points.
I recalibrated the ESCs.
I balanced the props.
I balanced the quad (found a use for pennies BTW).
I lost an ESC a while back and replaced it. Unfortuneatly, with a different brand. Could that be part of the problem?"

On the right and left sides of the horizon indicator are 2 vertical gauges.What do they represent?On mine, the right gauge bounces from +3 to -3 Julie: Still trying to correct the YAW problem....
"I have about 30 years experience as an EE and have all the neat tools :)
Either thats a very small driveway or you are out of control :)
Must be a blast to fly!"

"I tried flying it last weekend and it did the roll thing on lifting.
Returning home, I erased and reset everything, then noticed the error when testing.
I'll load props tonight and try your suggestion.
Thanks!"

"I thought it might be an electrical connection to power, but as long as the motors are spinning then the roll factor is present.
If the motors are armed and not moving, the craft sends data appropriate to its position, as I hold it and roll it…"

"Anybody ever seen this happen before?"
I have the quad sitting next to the computer, props off.If I connect the battery and then the USB, then connect into the MegaPlanner.Switch in flight mode.If I arm the motors (low left) the green led stops blinking. Throttle up spins up the motors,…
"Ok. A lot has changed over the months :)
APM for aircraft
ACM for quads?
If it is disabled by default, how can it be enabled or is it still in the oven."
