My quadcopter with APM 2.5.2 mod to 2.6

I say  after so many experience i had in build multirotor from KK2 , Multiwii and finally APM 2.5,

i found it APM 2.5 is a most easy and not much setting to tweak,
just plug in from the Arducopter guide motor and esc, arm it and she flies like a nice tame honeybird

The PID setting a perfect match for my clone Q450, and the flight feels much lighter n smooth compare to multiwii..

i found my quadcopter is easy to fly and handle, yet i havent test others function on my APM, and believe me APM had a 14 kind of flight mode, but the main important flight mode are

Alt Hold- Maintain altitude without need much input from throttle stick
Loiter    - it use GPS function to stay and hover one position
RTH      - the most important flight mode in my opinion if u fly LOS

ok after much awaited my GPS arrived from Hobbyking , and i connected to my APM 2.5,
and test loiter mode..but something not quite right ..the quadcopter tend to drift ramdomly, i try to recalibrating compass and accelometer but seems not solve my problem

after numerous time i look to RCGroup, they mention internal compass at APM 2.5 is not effective because it had interference from others electrical device such as motor, esc ,

i finally tooks decision to cut internal compass at my APM and put external compass and GPS..now my APM 2.5 officially become APM 2.6 hahahaha.....

what a surprise !! it works , my APM 2.6 now can loiter and do Return To Home...i am glad that finally i solve my problem      

DIY Smashdrone FPV plane

hi there
recently i quite busy working on my quadcopter project,  i bough a new keychain camera thats record HD quality footage and i need a plane that can carry and take flight video . the plane must be easy and simple to build but must had a great looks n tough.and most important the prop is secure at the back of plane ..i had broken many prop from previous plane ...

so after many hours searching google n youtube . i finally found a plane that match my need. i found it at Flite.test website.

The plane name is SMASH DRONE..

here a the reference for original plan and video...
http://www.flitetest.com/articles/now-you-can-crash-and-keep-flying

from what i seen on the article in the flite test . i think the plane must be small,

but after build it , i found that the plane is quite large, the plane is very simple to build by using woods from hardware store,


for my plane i use this setup..
the 1400kv  motor is quite powerfull to pull the plane
40amp esc, i guest  it quite heavy and too much amp..but just for precaution
2200 mah battery, i used it because i found my plane so much tail heavy
just use 3 channel setup like the original plan

ok this is my maiden video


and my on board camera video 

just wanna share u my recently build plane from smash drone plans, This plane is easy to build
and i suprised that it was a big plane, i build the plane entirely from colour foam board and and hotglue
Thanks for great plane and plans
