Asupan i think the 450 frame we are using with integrated pcb isn`t the most suitable frame for the apm 2.5 as when ever i try to fly with stabilize mode the craft flies excellent but the moment when i flip to loiter things get complicated and the craft behaves un-usual and starts drifting and looses altitude !!!! will try the reptile 550 or the 600 !

My Multirotor is back in action. The broken stand repaired.

I have moved to testing the Simple mode in operation on the APM 2.5. Works like a charm. The Altitude holds are perfect now. The telemetry module is 433mhz 3dr. The  range I was getting was a max of 2 m. It was due to interferance of USB bus. I am now getting very good range.

very nyc asu sir .... wonderful radio too....

Simple mode??

Simple mode is a selection in the Flight mode menu, what it does is that irrespective of which direction the quad is pointing the forward is fixed with respect to where it started from. So if you have a camera  mounted pointing  forward and while in flight you changed the direction of quad so that it points to you now then in simple mode the quad will still move away from you when you give forward stick. This uses the on board compass to enable this feature.

There is a super simple mode that uses gps and is even better as the simple mode has its own problem if it pass you and is behind you.

Look at the internet and you will find a lot of writeup.

Flying my super mini Topksy.  Had a lot of fun with it. It even picked up a thermal and flew for more than 6  min. was getting some thermals over the runway which I  realised after about 20 launches.

The video is attached.

 some exciting flying yesterday with maiden flight of our twin boom stealth   design  plane.   The color  however  is not black.

It has a single wheel and not meant for ROG takeoff.  Fully symmetrical wing  so the plane was very agile on the banks.  over all a  good take off and landing at the end.  photos of it attached.

some more photos of our New Helis.

Hello...

I am Sumantra from Jamshedpur. I have keen interest in RC plane flying.

Just wanted to ask Mr Ashutosh that, if you people are still flying your model planes on sunday. If so I am verymuch interested to join you guys. However I am very new to this hobby and want to learn a lot from you experienced people. Currently I have bought a RC Plane WX 8809B. But could not help to fly it for once. think there is some problem with it's balance or something else. Actually it is not taking off from ground. Also I have tried for hand launching.. Both the option failed. It is a 4 engine plane and 1 engine is not working due to crash.

Any way, I would be glad to meet you guys. Please let me know if you are going to fly your models on this next sunday i.e. 10th may' 15.

Thanks

Still Flying?

Flew a 100% 3D printed plane

It was designed and printed by Rajvansh, one of our Club member. He has now made 2 models including a glider.
