About Me:
I am an Electrical Engineer. I fly rc helicopters and airplanes as hobby. I started into multirotors few months ago. I live in the south part of the Philippines.
Please tell us a bit about your UAV interest
I owned a Quad configuration Multirotor with APM 2.5 + GPS on board. My interest in UAV is capturing footages on video and sight seeing using FPV.

"Hi guys,
I am visiting here in Western Chermside, Brisbane, Qld. I see the posts here are quite sometime now. Does anyone here fly arduplane or arducopter with APM/Pixhawk/Pixracer? I have a flying wing with Pixracer capable of 1 hour flight on…"

"Hi Arthur, I have been using Droidplanner 2 using Acer tablet. It is one of the best and very powerful apps for Arducopter. I just have one question...i understand that in Guided Mode, the copter ALTITUDE starts from its Loiter position. How can i…"
"You are right...higher rpm/responsive. With your set up, if you go back to AC3.1.5, your copter will not bounce...However, AC3.2.1 is the best thing that happen to Arducopter...You have to find the best motor/prop combination. For testing purposes,…"
"Just a suggestion: Try putting 9x4.7 prop slow fly. Of course, you will have higher THR_MID...you will see magic."
"Hi Randy,
Is AC3.3-rc1 only for Pixhawk? Regards."

"i thought i might share this with you....i had exactly the same problem. I am flying a TBS Disco, APM 2.6, AC 3.2.1 firmware. I was able to fix by doing the following: 1) Mounted the APM on top of the sillicon dampers 1)Carefully balance the…"
"Thank you Sir for the info. It's very helpful."
"Sir, the default param that controls alt hold, loiter, and pos hold throttle response is THR_DZ=100. Try setting your THR_DZ to 5 or 10 for faster climb and descend rate."
"Thanks so much David. Yes, i was aware of this behavior so i did the same, I positioned the 2nd to the last waypoint where i want it and use the last waypoint as the dummy one. The second flight is a different flight plan. I just thought i was the…"
"Hi Rob, thanks in advance...Her'e's my latest flights:
1. Flight #1: Take off at 20m several spline waypoints at 40m, last waypoint is RTL. However, RTL occurred on the 2nd to the last waypoint. Log is attached below.
2. Flight #2: The copter…"

"Tested today AC3.2.1rc1 on APM2.6...so far my copter was flying nice with no issues in Stab, alt hold, pos hold and other flight modes. However, these are some of my observations:
1. I did autonomous flight with take off at 20m and several spline…"

"Yes, Mission Planner 1.3.12 (i suppose this is the latest) has very nice compass calibration like the one in MP 1.3.10. I did 3 auto flights with compass calibration from MP1.3.12 with no issues."
"I would like to take this opportunity to thank all the people behind this major release -AC3.2. I'm truly grateful. I've tested AC3.2 on full auto with spline waypoints and region of interest:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g_MtQPVnW8I"
"Testing AC 3.2-RC14 on full auto with spline waypoints. Pls see attached..."
"Randy, we have been very successful in this platform in our aerial activities in the farms. This we owe to the dev team especially to you. Your explanation is very enlightening and reassuring. I can't thank you enough. "
"hi, just asking...on AC3.2-rc13, what are the causes of small heading errors (dcm-check/failsafe) that trigger Land? Will this happen in Stab, Alt-hold, auto, or any flight modes for that matter. I will be flying over waters this weekend for…"
