  Hi I had bought the APM hardware one year back from Fah-Pah , Thailand and succesfully flown the quad. I see a lot of development since then but I was occupied with my personal issues. I am back to my passion now but while trying to upload the latest version i.e. 2.9.1.b it says firmware too big for 1280. Please upgrade your hardware. I can understand the same but is there a way out or do I need to buy the new hardware. I can not shell out more money at this point. Is there a way I can use the tested firmware which can be used on this hardware ? Pls advice. Thanks. SID

  Thanks Bill I might just do hang out for the Taranis.  I fly lots of Scale models (plane) and the Aurora is my main radio. I think buying a dedicated radio would be the right thing to do.

  @john. Your HiTec will be perfect. If you want to buy a new TX though wait for the Taranis from FrSky. It uses Open9x firmware so is awesome for drone use. And it's only $200!

  Glad to be part of the group. On the brink of ordering a loaded quad from udrones.com however I want to use my Hitec Aurora radio is there anything i should be aware of? Or should I just order a TH9x for it and be done with it.

  Re, "where are we with ArduCopter 3.0", we're at release candidate #2 now which you can find here.  There was a temporary problem with the downloads area so initially I could only put rc2 into the old downloads area.  Anyway, the new wiki is the place to get it.

  Just wondering when is the Arducopter 3.0 release scheduled?

  From the git log I can see that 3.0rc2 milestone has already been reached.

  Thanks Randy for saving me a bunch of time - I didn't realize till your reply that I could change parameters from the Advanced Parameter List thinking it was only a listing of explanations.  Dumb me.

  @Jim,

       Re where to find the ACRO_P parameter.  You can find it in the Mission planner's Configuration, Advanced Parameter List.

  Where do I find Acro_P to make adjustments per the Wiki?  It is documented in the parameter listing and Wiki but I cannot find where to actually adjust it. 

  The APM does acrobatics.  WOW!  I'm thinking I need to increase the Acro_P to increase the rate of roll and pitch.
