"Looks great,
What price range do you think a finished frame will be in?"

I'm currently running version 2.0.42 (very nice) in stabilize mode, on the standard Arducopter frame and components. I also have mounted a point and shoot camera to take stills and videos.My question is how do you make the smoothest yaw/pan turn? I…
"I have a very similar issue. My original post is here http://www.diydrones.com/forum/topics/2024-beta-crazy-yaw?xg_source...
Unfortunatly I have not found a solution.
Mine will rotate 90* at a time.
Things I have tried
Balanced the blades. (A nice…"

"Not an answer to your question, but don't forget to account for the emissivity of the object your are measuring. Shiny surfaces don't play nice with non contact thermal sensors, and will mess with the accuracy of your reading. I have used a piece of…"
"Does anyone know,
Is there a chance that this is related to the "Return to Land" when the battery hits a specific battery level?
Does anyone know what the voltage trigger level is?
I have been flying with an unknown C rated battery since the…"

"I have been using the Panasonic DMC-FP3. Works great for doing stills in the air. I have a paperclip bent just right to hold the button down during my flights. I have only used it once so far for stills (videos most of the time while I'm testing.)…"

I have a similar question. I have added a point and shoot camera (~5.5 oz) to the bottom of the quad, and placed a 2200mAh battery at the top to keep the COG close to the prop.
Should I keep the COG below the prop?
How far?
Has this changed from…"

"OK,
I had it happen again today, but not yesterday. Almost the exact same thing, but this time it rotated 180* CW. The difference was where I was flying. It has happened 2 times in my driveway in relatively the same place (under HV powerlines and…"

I have been using the APM planner as just a way to burn new code into the copter. Tonight I started playing with some of the setup features. I'm not getting expected results. I have loaded the latest 2.0.25 with APM planner 1.0.13 and attached the…
"Thought a video may help.
Sorry about the focus..."

Just got this loaded this morning and off to test it.This was the first crash I had that broke something. I have no idea what happened, so I'm hoping someone can give me a few ideas.I have the quad equipped with a point and shoot camera (4oz or so)…
"Just an update. I cut out the bullet connectors and soldered the wires this weekend. The quad flew flawless. I attached. An image showing the issue with one connector. Looks like a cold solder joint. Thank you all for the…"
"Thanks for the ideas, I will cut the connectors out this weekend and solder them up. I will post back with the results.

I'm not sure what happened here so I'm hoping that someone could look at the video and give me some ideas.It was in stable flight mode.It started to drift to the left and as I was correcting, the quad started to slightly oscillate left and right,…
I seem to be missing bag #2. I can speculate that this bag is only included if purchased through FahPah and would contain the APM. This kit was purchased through the DIYDrones store.Is there a full packing list documented somewhere?It all seems to…
For the optimum stability where is the recommended COG on the Z axis?X and Y axis makes sense to have it centered between the arms, does this also apply to the Z axis? If it does, what points would you measure from? Keep in mind this is not for…
