    APM 2.6 Arducopter issues, not giving in!

    Hi, new to the world, picked up a couple of used apm 2.6 arducopter flight controllers. Yes, I know they are ancient, and I know there are better modern ones at a good price, but this has become a battle of stubbornness now, even though there is better, they should work, and I have come to the...

    APM and "Dead Cat" Frame

    On the episode where they introduce the Electrohub kit, Bixler mentioned that APM has a specific configuration for "dead cat" style (also known as "spider")quadcopters. Does anyone know what setup he is talking about? I can only see +,X, and V. I've tried mine in X mode but it seems suboptimal.
