Hi
I have an Autoquad Cube challenge to post. I'm a farmer and as soon I saw the first quad I knew that I wanted to use that type of aircraft as a tool for farming. For the last seven years I've built multicopters using many of the opensource autopilots. The Autoquad is the first autopilot that is getting close to the precision that I'll need to do the tasks I have in mind for multicopters.
Everything to do with multicopters has been a challenge for me because of little background in computers or electronics. Without the help of the people on many forums there's no way I could have been able to do this challenge. Steve (Kisssys) has help me with my octo many times.

Building a long endurance octo is my next project. I've ordered the props for testing. Shooting for one hour of flight time while have the redundancy and smooth flying that an octo brings.

Looks Good Larry,
Nice Cube.
Definitely going to start looking into longer endurance / better efficiency.
From what I can see, Autoquad appears to have tighter precision than our APM's current non-inertially compensated release.
But I think our current beta release with inertial compensation will probably perform similarly to AutoQuad.
Just got to put together some copters with longer endurance.
In any case, great results, this contest is going to be won with a lot better precision and duration than it appeared at the start.
A lot of us complained about how difficult it was.
I'm sure next year it will be a lot tougher.
