On MP 1.2.10, if I add a takeoff command to my flight plan, write it to the APM and then read it back, the altitude parameter winds up being [whatever I originally set the takeoff altitude to be]-[Current plane altitude]. For example with the plane…
I'm setting up a Skywalker with a 1.4 APM and the 2.5 firmware. Could someone tell me what initial parameters to use for the airframe? With all the changes lately, I'm not sure if the skywalker.param in the repository is a good starting point…
I've been playing around with the takeoff command (APM 1.4) and any time I put in a takeoff angle of greater than around 260 degrees, the angle in the autopilot gets set to a radically different angle. For instance, when I set the takeoff angle to…
"I'd consider a glider like the ones for sale at http://www.event38.com. They're not set up for video by default, but the airframe is called a Skywalker and if you google "skywalker fpv" you'll get lots of hits on how to set up the airframe for…"
"Just to close the loop, I definitively determined that the source of the altitude deviations was due to the XBee by removing it and hooking up to the autopilot via USB. The altitude readings were quite steady w/o the telemetry module.
Based on tips…"

In the last couple of months, I've built two UAV's based on the Bixler airframe and the ATMega 2560 autopilot with XBee 900 Mhz telemetry. UAV1 has been flown a number of times and seems to be performing reasonably well. I started testing UAV2 on…
Hi all,I'm building a couple of ArduPilot/Bixler based drones for a research project and would like to add telemetry to them. I believe I've managed to locate/order all the parts for the 900 Mhz DIY drones xBee telemetry kit, but I'm not sure what…
