    Arducopter flips on takeoff

    That's good to remember!! Thanks for the advice! I'm going to need some practice but look forward to using all the cool features of the APM aboard. I'm going to try a waypoint mission next, but will have to wait until I can get into an open field! Thanks again

    Thanks Reno! Hope you and your family have a great Holiday as well! It definitely flies so much nicer after auto trim and auto tune. Look forward to flying more but it's too damn cold out!

    Arducopter flips on takeoff

    Thanks guys! Here's a short video on today's flight. It went great until I flipped it into RTL and realized I had no control and I sorta panicked, lol. So now I know to check my throttle before flipping it back into stabilize mode! But the quad survived with minimal damage! Thanks for all the...

    Gentlemen, Received my new APM fc today, installed it and works like a charm! I've included a short video, it is indoors so there wasn't much room to work with. I haven't been able to auto-trim or auto-tune yet, but it's flying! Thanks again for all the advice and recommendations...

    That's awesome! I got your email, I appreciate it. I'm into underwater photography and video when I go scuba diving and I'd like to try out aerial photography as well. Thanks for the email, gives me an idea of what I'll need to start my next build!

    Arducopter flips on takeoff

    Hey that was awesome! Was that using Autonomous flight? I've been thinking about building a hexcopter for better stability in video, would you mind emailing me the break down of equipment you used in your build? Danielvictoria84@yahoo.com, if you don't mind. Also, what camera are you using...

    Jackson, I don't know if that's the same one, it looks a little different than the one I bought. Here's the link to the one I bought (https://www.ebay.com/itm/282101106746)

    Hey Glass, the board is new, I've been trying to get it to work for 3 weeks now. Come to find out, the techs from the supplier say it's a board defect so they're sending me out a new board today. As for Center of gravity, yes, someone had mentioned it to me and I've also done that. Thanks again...

    That route is looking like an option! But the techs from where I bought my board said it's a board defect and they're sending me a new unit so we'll see what happens when the new board arrives. Thanks again for your help!

    Arducopter flips on takeoff

    Reno....I have flashed this board more times than I care to count....I'm at my wits end and reached out to the supplier I bought it from in hopes they have some answers or send me a new one. I have flashed it, then flashed it with another firmware (say, ardurover) just to make sure the frimware...

    Arducopter flips on takeoff

    Here's a video of what my quad does...bare with me, it's in a basement because it's raining out. I'm also going to attempt to attach a video of what happens when I open the terminal. If anyone can let me know if this looks normal please! I'll also add pictures of how my quad is set up.

    Arducopter flips on takeoff

    I could open them and see if there's anything inside interfering with their function. But my quad flew fine with my ok 2.1.5 board. I just haven't been able to fly it since I installed the apm 2.8. Thanks for the advice!

    Arducopter flips on takeoff

    I've been able to set up and calibrate everything in the apm. I haven't been able to use cli in the terminal tab. It'll say "initializing apm", "barometer calibration complete" and "ready to fly." But after that it's just a bunch of gibberish. I haven't been able to fly my quad yet because it...
