UAV Flight MP1000/AP30 autopilot

[JACK/PA3AXO 0]

I have purchased an AP30 (former MP1000) autopilot and I am struggeling a bit to get it going. (see www.UAVflight.com)

Basically it looks like a nice device with a lot of features for little money(less than US$1000 including all sensors and GPS)

Most functions seem to work but the documentation is not quite up to date which turns it into a puzzle.

Support from the manufacturer is very moderate.

Things are quite difficult to tune (6 PID controllers with over a hundred parameters to adjust) and I am a bit reluctant to just start flying.

Is anybody else using this or another model of the same company.

I would like to share and exchange experiences.

Hi Jack,
