Hi Guys,
Have any of you tried these miniapms popping out of China? I want to know if any of you have had any luck with them. I want to try these out on a project. The small footprint of the board is really attractive.

I just want to share this to help prevent any possible future crashes. I've tried several GPS units for my planes, namely 3DR, Jdrones NEO-6 for airplane and for Multirotor, hobbyking neo-6, hobbyking leah-6H, and crius.
Non 3DR GPS units al

Hi guys,
This got me really stumped. My friends returned from the field with this flight log after fearing that the Super Sky Surfer plane went on a flyaway, before miraculously returning to home 50 minutes after takeoff when it should have returned w

I need help analyzing my logs and need to confirm if the crash in auto mode was caused by an elevator servo problem or an airspeed problem. This was flown in a remote region far from people and property.
5 minutes into the flight, the aircraft

I was wondering if anyone here has tried to use APM datalogs with Pix4D? I am currently using a cropcam to do mapping but I am looking at utilizing the APM logs to do geo-referenced maps without the use of ground control points (because the f

I have a question on tuning for level flight in auto mode. When the plane throttles back due to increased headwind during a leg, the plane maintains a steady left bank of about 3-5 degrees. When it needs more throttle to maintain the target a

Hi Guys,
I have Arduplane 2.73 on a plane I'm working on and it flies a mission quite well right until it reaches loiter altitude in home. Upon reaching home, it does a descending turn as expected until it reaches d

I'm not sure if it's a new feature with the latest arduplane update, but the fields to change Nav Roll and Cross Track is unavailable in the PIDS page on the mission planner. Is this normal? I downgraded to 2.70 for the meantime since 2.72 is

My EPP FPV has this bad habit of pitching down when the throttle is increased to maximum in both manual and auto mode (CG is perfect when I'm flying in manual mode, no trims). It may be indicative of bad thrustline or flexing of the entire t

I'm having a bit of a problem with the throttle during auto/RTL mode. Although the max rc throttle in standard parameters is set to 100, the throttle never goes to full. No problem in manual mode though. The problem arose after I uploaded the

For the past couple of months, I've been helping a friend with his APM 2.5 and APM 2.0 equipped octos and hexas and we haven't had success with getting rid of the often fatal motor hiccups on both the 2 and 2.5 boards. With some bench testin

Hi guys,
My team and I are assembling a Skywalker FPV with APM 2.5 and we have a little issue with the throttle on boot up. Upon initialization, the throttle range of the tx stick is changed, motor spins up to about 15% power although the throttle sti

My team has a bone stock 3DR Quad-C with APM 2.5. We have successfully flown it after assembly but have recently had brownout problems and gyro problems. While hovering 3 or 4 feet, the motors suddenly die out and it falls flat hard.
