Christof Schmid replied to Randy's discussion ArduCopter 2.5 released!"Hi Chris
They also offer the 3DR telemetrie kit 433.
Maybe it would be good to let them know NOT to offer "our" parts unless 3DR allows to."

Christof Schmid replied to Alan's discussion Arducopter 1.x ?"Hi Alan
Everybody can do as he likes. Always depending on your budget for new hardware and the platform you use. I for my part go foreward with the newest SW and HW releases ( and with the new bugs ).
If you did not decide yet what releases to use,…"
Christof Schmid replied to Alan's discussion Arducopter 1.x ?"Hi Alan

2.x means SW builds revision 2.0 and up for multirotors.

Christof Schmid posted a blog postJust finished my new Quad
After beta testing in early 2011 I had some bad crashes and my concept of precise machined and glued carbon did not pay off. It was almost impossible to replace broken parts. This made me think of a different concept.Few parts that can be used all over the frame.All parts easy replacable.Stiff construction.Ok, it took me a while but now the parts are ready for assembly. …See More
Christof Schmid replied to Low's discussion Disabling GPS on daughterboard"Hi Jake
Good point.
I have two APM2 from preorder and I need my GPS away from the APM2.
Could you please post a pict / drawing to make sure I cut the right pins.
Or maybe Chris has a solution for preorders meanwhile.
Thanks. "
Christof Schmid commented on Bill Nesbitt's blog post AutoQuad version 6.1"Hi Bill
