Hi!I know this has been discussed before but somehow I could not find the old discussion.After having calibrated my APM 2.5, when I go out flying, the middle position of my throttle stick makes my quad gain altitude like a rocket. I use WKM and Naza

Sorry... this is getting strange, I know.
But after I just calibrated my TX with the APM 2.5 the motors started spinning at low RPM.
I disconnected the the power source (5 V BEC) and than the battery.
Now when I connect the battery, this is happening

Today I mounted strong motors on my DJI 450 flame wheel: 2838 /1080KV - 280W with 11x5 carbon props. I am very happy with the flight-performance except for the slow oscillations in hight.
When I keep throttle at a certain point, the copter g

I have a Graupner MX-20 which supports PPM-sum on Ch8. I wanted to get rid of too many cables on my RX. So I changed to PPM. I did it like shown in the Wiki, bridged signal Pins 2+3 on my APM2.5 and fed the PPM-Sum to Ch1.
In the mission plan

I just loaded the 2.8.1 firmware on my DJI 450, 2826 1000kv, 9-5" Graupner e-props APM2 quad and noticed that it has a very nervous fight behavior. Of course I had the same thing on earlier firmwares but now I think it's time to do something a

I think there are multiple ways how to find the CG of a quad-copter.
How do you do it?
I haven't come across a satisfying solution.

Read more…Hello,
here's something I don't understand: In the RC setup wiki it is recommended to use Ch 5 for the mode switch. But for the 2-axis gimbal there is also Ch 5 reserved for one axis. I tested the gimbal - it works.
The 3-position switch works also for

today I went out to test the new 2.1 Arducopter firmware and was surprised, when all 4 ESCs made the motors beep on start-up, (like beep-beep-beep... twice a second) therefore no spinning motors and no flying. :(
I went back home - surprisin

Whats the best 20-30amp ESC for my new DIY quadcopter Project?
From what I learned, it needs to be "fast" in terms of Mhz updating.
Thanks for your help

Read more…Hi there!
my 3DRobotics Arducopter with APM crashed yesterday. Nothing broke at first sight (two props died) but now it's doing strange things. When I try to lift off it leans stangely to one side. I can get it in the air but it floats around like cra

I'm a real newbie, managed to get my stock 3DRobotics quadcopter APM finished yesterday and did some tests today.
Two questions for now:
the copter was flying quit well except for a wobbling that occurs on (even not so very fast) descends. Whe

I've been trying to get an update for the APM planner for a couple of hours now, but i keep getting timeouts. It says "Checking" - but nothing more happens.
I wanted to switch from "Arduplane" to "Arducopter" (I just finished my copter) but t
