Building Possibly My Last Multicopter
I left the hobby in 2022 after the crash of my Tarot Ironman due to a propeller blade separation resulting in complete destruction of the aircraft. Since then I have been flying an old DJI MAvic Pro that I bought used from a photographer who wanted to upgrade. Anyway, recently l've thought about wanting to build one more multicopter. I enjoyed the challenges of building one plus the satisfaction of flying something I built. So I decided to once again embark on a build project. My needs…

I am trying to set up my telemetry with a couple of 2.4 modules from my MK system. Any advice as I am not getting anywhere fast.
I would also like to evaluate the camera roll function any advice on setting this up?

Ya nigel such is the nature of the Web. for Every 4 people you will get 7 opinions.
When It comes to Futaba VS Spektrum, which one is better? Depends who you ask, and what part of the world they come from. In the end its all marketing splurb. IMHO they are BOTH excellent choices.
The best is simply to buy the brand that has the best SUPPORT in your particular area.
Michael, also see my post on http://diydrones.ning.com/forum/topics/futaba-t7c-over-spektrum-dx8
At the end, I think we need cheap ubiquitous telemetry and control.
1) Using ZigBee to pilot the drone near to you --> 2.4GHz
2) Using ZigBee to pilot the drone far from you --> 900Mhz in USA (in Europe 868MHz has an air bps of 24kbps)
3) Using GPRS: this sounds really good, and sure we (or the someone else) have to pay for that (20 min of GPRS ??).
Anyway, I do not know if we can pilot the drones via XBee radio link...
i am remoting the arducopter with a exceed rc 6ch dial crap and its respective receiver and i gotta say ... WHAT A CRAP there is no way to program it even a half of the functions the arducopter has to offer. so if you gut a good 600 usd to spend go for a spectrum or futaba right?? any one know what works the best??
Moreover, AC2 can host APM or other firmware?
