Gary Vaughan replied to Aaron Buckner's discussion Can I use this transmitter/reciever? E-Flite LP5DSM + AR6100e?"You may have to get a elevon mixer for that controller to work with the funjet. I havent figured out how to get it to do the mixing for my SR71 so I use a dx5e for it. This leaves me with only a toggle switch (2-pos) for controlling the ardupilot…"
Gary Vaughan replied to Aaron Buckner's discussion Can I use this transmitter/reciever? E-Flite LP5DSM + AR6100e?"I have the same combonation. I would like to try it with my f-18 but dont know what the limit is on the range so I was thinking about enabling the failsafe code with the atiny built in to the ardupilot just in case. As far as the controlls on the…"
Gary Vaughan replied to Dave_fr's discussion Virtual compass for ardupilot = even faster and pinpoint navigation ???"Is there any part of the software proposed here to account for slip or uncoordinated turns where the plane banks but doesen't necessarily make a two minute 360 degree turn at 30 degrees."
Gary Vaughan commented on Fred Forbes's blog post Ardupilot roll functional flow diagram"I get more from the flow chart than I do from the code. I am a licensed pilot and an instrumentation tech so it just makes better sense to me as is. I would like to add a feed-forward loop to change the elevator aileron mix loop in the code to add…"

Gary Vaughan replied to Paul Har's discussion Ground Station Readout air speed"here is a link (http://www.diydrones.com/profiles/blogs/unofficial-ardupilot-22). This contains some reference for the bias seting for the airspeed sensor in 2.2 but mine acts the same no matter what I put in for the bias value so you arent by…"
Gary Vaughan replied to Gerber's discussion Xbee Pro 900"I connected my ftdi cable wrong once to my ardupilot board and this caused it to malfunction temporarily. After unpluging it, re-booting to re-load the drivers and re-connecting to the usb connection everything was back to normal for me.
Good luck…"

"I think the first speed bump would be in getting scale aircraft with such short wingspans, to operate reliably with an autopilot."

since the gps satellites cary time info could I add routines to the waypoint software to modulate the throttle to speed up or slow down and be on time one behind the other. It could have a trigger off the input from the radio to begin eta calcs and adjustments to stay on time from a table of throttle seting/performance values
