Drone flying to non visible point
Hi there,I encountered a problem, while flying in auto mode, with approching to point that was not set by trajectory and is not visible after downloading mission from flight controller by Mission Planner. Does anybody encountered similar problem. The situation is that in the middle flight I stopped the UAV and uploaded new mission and after changing to auto mode it starts to fly in some direction. It goes straight to some point, so I assume it's not mechanical problem. I attached the link to…

@sherlockth I did reinstall same thing.. But I will remove it clean the registry in then install it.. I really hate glitchy software but this is the first issue I have ever had with mission planner.
Mine also, I had to reinstall.
Suddenly mission planner is crashing on startup with my win 7 laptop after latest update. Anyone else?
Since APM 2.6 is sold without a compass, I would appreciate a list of what you can and what you cannot do with or without a compass.
Like without a compass, I have been flying on stabilized and althold modes very comfortably.
But can I do loiter, can I do waypoints, can I fly in simple or super simple mode without a compass ?
Thx

Parallel batteries Test
I'm looking at batteries for my Std RTF X8. It comes with a 3500mAh 3S 30 and I'm wondering if I can use a 6000mAh 3S 25-50C to stretch flight time. eCalc seems to think it's in spec, but I'm wondering if the group here has any input.

Alware has its Swing 2 axis gimbal. Includes arch landing gear and the camera platform is (about) 4 x 3 inches. I use one on a F550 hex and can set the platform from horizontal to perpendicular with the pot knob on my Futaba 7C. It has about 120 degrees of movement in pitch axis -so it still stabilizes when facing forward or down. It can be bolted flat to the base of the airframe or on 1.25 in standoffs ( included). You can look at one on the Alware site and I think IntelligentUAS carries them too.
I have a flight mode switch set to Circle and was hoping to assign the radius to a dial on my TX. This is a great feature for video for panaromic or circling a video target but it would be nice if you could control the radius from the TX when flying. Currently I think the only way is to change the "Circle Radius" from the laptop connection. If there is not a way, can maybe this be added to the Channel 7 or 8 assignment options?
Running ArduCopter 3.01 on 3DR's Y6 with Gopro 3 and Tarrot Gimbal. Currently producing beautiful stable videos.....
Thanks in advance for any assistance ...
