One Arducopter is funny, but three Copters (at the same time) are Fun^3.

Everything controlled by one transmitter. Realized with some mixers and flight phases. I can control each one individually or all together.

Perfect Loiter with Arducopter 3.1.5 on APM 2.6.

Oh so this is basically using three radio transmitters in one. Cool.

Thanks.

I used channel 1-5 for copter one, 6-10 for copter two and channel 11-15 for copter three. When I control copter three for example, then copter one and two get a neutral stick position. The rest is done by flight phases.

You could do something similar to what Daemon did on RCG groups using a Taranis, although you're basically maxed out at 2 quad unless you get really fancy with your programming.

It was great^3, how did you do that ?

Very nice. Your work is very relevant for the control of multiple drones at the same time from a single base station.
