    Due to a lack of interest, tomorrows meetup cancelled.  I'm going to the beach with my wife instead.

    Oh yeah Hai...

    Love the NOTAM.. very cool.

    Did you have one for the Avon Descent?

    Today was one of those days where everything went right!!!

    They are few and far between (for me) for some reason.

    APM 2.0 and the Condor Skywalker flew fully autonomous this morning in a stiff breeze. Cross track correction was better that I could have hoped for and the attitude during the flight was rock solid.

    Even though the route was quite short and tight, APM had it back on track very quickly ans smoothly.

     Using GPS only (not air speed probe) and still extremely accurate in the wind. VERY impressed!

    Videos, log and param. files to follow shortly.

I don't know if you have all seen the write up by CanberraUAV however Andrew replied to a question with this:"Comment by Andrew Tridgell 11 hours ago@Stephen,We ran the Ubiquity radios in normal AirMax mode. We used it to send UDP packets encapsulating a protocol we invented for the event that we call block_xmit. That is a reliable block sending protocol that is particularly good in high packet loss environments. We got about 25% packet loss during the flight, so sending images and data using…

APM2 board: not able to get past radio calibration step. please help.

Would anybody be able to help me with Mission Planner comms to APM2 board? I've hit a hump that is troubling me. I'm not able to get past radio calibration step on new board and gear (Turnigy 9ch). I've got considerable IT experience and some APM1 successes but this prob is a B. Could just be a faulty dataflash card or PC security jamming actions, Be great to hear your thoughts 9453 3580problem described at http://diydrones.com/forum/topics/no-bars-to-calibrate-radio-signal...CheersBrett
