3Ch plane, why not?

Posted by Roberto on February 26, 2009 at 4:00pm
The question is simple: why spend money on 4Ch plane, Co-Pilot & co??I want to try to setting up a 3Ch plane with ArduPilot, somebody have any experience?I choose the Multiplex EasyCub, 1400mm wing span.

Maybe I will use a yaw gyro to fix unwanted roll.

    We recommend the 4 channel Superstar EP

    well i think that with high wind i dont fly :D

    what's a good 4ch alternative??

    We can make a plane cassific for UAV.. 3ch and 4 ch based on personal experience!

    get the 4 channel... you'll need the ability to roll at some point specially on a crappy landing in high winds.

    Avalable from FMA.

    The FMA sensor will be sold as spare?

    Or just wait for ArduPilot 2.0, within the month.

    mumble mumble so it's better choose a 4ch plane..

    That will work fine with ArduPilot 2.0, which is optimized for the 3-channel EasyStar. It won't work with ArduPilot 1.0. You'll find that drift in that yaw gyro will have you nose down in the ground within a minute, unless you have accelerometers to calibrate it.
