APM 2.6 with GPS and Compass

[Tymtravler]

I would like to know has anyone used the APM 2.6 in a V Tail copter successfully. I just called 3D Robotics to inquire on some of the features and tech support said that they do not support the V Tail configuration. They said I may try to set it up as a quad but they don't think it would work. If anyone has I would be greatful for a copy of your settings to get started.
Thanks

I think the best you can do is set the APM up as a quad and use mixes in your transmitter, but I can't really think of a way to get the yaw functionality to only use the two tilted motors. There are also hardware v-tail servo mixers, but I have no idea how they work. It might be somewhere for you to start researching: http://www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/store/uh_viewItem.asp?idProduct=6321

If you can customize the throttle/pitch/roll/yaw for each channel like on a KK2, take the yaw out of the front motors and add in 50% power to the yaw input on the rear motors. Will take tinkering to get the values scaled desirable, but in short that is how the KK2 sorts it out.

Hmmm I sure after you select the quad firmware it allows you to choose either plus, X or V Tail. I could be wrong though

Thanks all I am just going to stick with the KK2
