You guys are the best, I'm completely new to this incredible hobby, literally got my first toy quad a month ago, and am planning a hexacopter and quadcopter build, I'm hooked!!! Can't wait to become completely autonomous. I'm planning on installing a spoon having my quad stir my hot chocolate on a cold evening in high wind whilst filming it all with my gopro.....lol.

Checked out your channel... Amazing voice!

The build is coming along.....sometimes I'm pulling my hair out trying to calibrate, but your videos are cutting what would be 345,678 hrs into a 39 hr job.....your my official favorite youtube channel yeah!!!!

Does anyone know when new generation of Ardupilot (3.0?) will be available?

[Jonathan Andrade]

Halo, great review! Josh, what's your fpv google's brand?

[Blu Sky]

I have one of these and a naza, both are amazing boards with gps control, The ardupilot way point feature gives it an advantage over the Naza, get the better GPS for the Ardupilot its a lot more reliable.

I am buying the Ardu 2.5 because of this video!

Could you do a tutorial of setting the APM 2.5 board up for a Vtail Quadcopter? Looking into building one this summer and just having trouble figuring out setting that up for a Vtail.
