Roberto commented on Justas's blog post Predator by your own hands! Some help needed :)"Hi Justas,
I had an RC predator from www.lindinger.at, it's 1600mm wingspan it's light, well done but very nervous model!!!
Forget 1kg of payload with this plane, my multiplex Easy Cub (1600mm wingspan) can lift with 500gr of payload..

Roberto posted a blog postRC tips: how to use flaperon with FMA Co-Pilot CPD4
When you use FMA Co-Pilot CPD4 on a plane with 2 servos on wing (one for airelon) usually you must connect an Y cable to use correctly CPD4 stabilization.With this configuration you cant use the flaperon mix (it move the 2 wing servo to the same direction to simulate flap).My idea is to use a V-Tail hardware mixer (it cost under 10$) to use flaperons.This is the connection schema:The V-Tail mixer output will be connected to servos, the ELEVATOR input is our flap, i suggest to connect to gear…See More
Roberto commented on Gagarien's blog post ART-TECH AUTO PILOT"This product was selled last year (a lot of EU shop and ebay shop) but now it's hard to find.
I know people that use it, it's accurate but they say FMA CPD4 is better.
An alternative is Futaba Pilot PA-2, but it can work with sun low at…"
Roberto commented on Michal B's blog post Increasing GPS device (EM 406a) baudrate"So why dont insert on ardupilot a instruction to change the baudrate on startup?
On startup you can use 4800bps, send setup string to GPS and change Ardupilot bps to new value.
On next boot if GPS remember the fast bitrate the command run at 4800…"

Roberto commented on Roberto's blog post Burning Arduino Bootloader without external AVR-Writer"Check on Arduino site, for example you can use an Arduino diecimila board (without ATMEGA chip) as FTDI cable for Arduino mini (or for what u want because u have just to use +5, GND, TX, RX and RESET)

Nick Sargeant commented on Roberto's blog post Burning Arduino Bootloader without external AVR-Writer"Thanks for posting this. Do you know of a method of using the FT232RL chip on an arduino board as a ftdi cable for other devices such as the ardupilot?
Cheers.

3Ch plane, why not?
Posted on February 26, 2009 at 5:00pm 9 Comments 0 Likes
The question is simple: why spend money on 4Ch plane, Co-Pilot & co??
I want to try to setting up a 3Ch plane with ArduPilot, somebody have any experience?
I choose the Multiplex EasyCub, 1400mm wing span.
Maybe I will use a yaw gyro to fix unwanted roll.
