I know I am missing something simple. How do you clear the geofence polygon and return point from the mission planner and map display? I can go into the full parameter list and set the number of geofence points to zero but the polygon is still…
"Been working too much. No progress from my end. Next step for me is to go with elevon mixing out of the transmitter and into the apm. I still don't have a launcher worked out. When that happens I will be more active with this plane. Also purchased…"
"Yes those parameters are defined. Great graphic. I think I am using delta wing/elevon tx mix instead of flapperon. I am not sure the benefit of using flapperon then setting up 2 mixes to accomplish the delta/elevon function. I do have some of…"
"The parameters listed for the x8 are fairly close to default. The plane seems to have good stability and response while navigating waypoints, just no override in fbwa.

"Thanks. The last plane I had same issue with was also elevon in the transmitter mixed. Will try mixing in the apm and see if it works.
If anyone else has input please chime in."

"Thanks for the response. I am using the elevon mixing in the transmitter. I have also checked the elevon box in the mp setup page and checked all the boxes to make the controls and stabilization work the right way. Is this correct? I have never…"
I am using 3.03 firmware on a 2.5 board in an elevon x-8. The plane flies well in manual, stabilize and does a good job following waypoints in auto and rtl. My issue lies in fbwa. The plane is super stable and I have no control authority to pitch…
"Thank you for your kind words!"

"The project as it was designed is complete. That being said, if the school would be receptive, the timing were to work out and the design would be competitive without a ton of additional modification it might be possible. Another possibility would…"
I would like to thank the rover developers and the entire diy drones community for producing an outstanding hardware, software and support package. I recently completed an educational project that was designed around apm hardware running rover…
"What are the short and long failsafe actions configured to in the parameters page of mp?
There was another post on someone having a similar issue only reverting to manual but they didnt have the intermittant 1500 while thinking."

"On the PID config page in mission planner the default angle is in degrees ie 45, 25, -15. The Wiki and the parameter definitions show the value being defined in hundredths of a degree. Which is it? If I want 45 degrees, should the value be 45 or…"
I have read all the guides I can find on this forum on tuning pid to my airframe. When I tune the P in fbw, the aircraft is wild in stabilize. If I tune in stabilize, the airplane flies very well but control throws are very restricted in fbw. …
"Dont know if it is related. I am brand new to this. I bought a used APM2 board from RC Groups, loaded up the firmware and set up the board on a low budget foamie for testing. Static testing worked good. While flying in stabilize and FBWA, the…"
