About Me:
Got a couple of 450s tuned to perfection with the SK720. Now removed the SK720 and trying to get an APM 2 to work on it.
Please tell us a bit about your UAV interest
Way point heli flying and FPV. 450 is the testing platform. Will move it to my 700e when the 450 works.

After reading a couple of successful posts about the Align APS GPS system, I downloaded their manual and see how it is connected. Align still use their old 3Gx unit for stabilization, and using the new GPS unit just to provide navigation such as…
"Just noticed that you linked a 4s battery. Do you need to do some heavy lifting? If not, you should either use 3s lipo or using shorter props like 9" or 8". Either of those gives you longer flight time."
"I also got the 880kV motors from the DIYDrone store but I use 10" props. I've tried my hexa with 2x2200, 2x5000, and also 2x8400, with lift-off weight range from 3kg to 4kg with gimbal and camera. With 2x8400 and the gimbal and camera, it is very…"
We just had a local meetup with bunch of enthusiasts showing what everybody have done with their flying helis, mulitis, and whatever that flies. The wind gust was horrible, but we had lot of fun sharing ideas and what everyone have done and what…

"I have quite a few video and pictures in the APM2 (traditional heli) forum here."

I've never heard of shield or oil pan before until I stumble on the Audrino boards. Why are they call what they are? Shield? oil pan? I would have never guessed what they mean by itself.
