Topic:
Users struggle to configure and tune copter builds, especially small copters. This proposal is the second of a series to construct and tune a fairly typical copter of a certain class. Where possible/logical partner technology will be used without compromising the quality of the build.
This proposal is to build and tune a 5" Long Range copter. Long Range copters play to ArduPilot strengths (autonomous missions, long range, high quality FPV/video) but also prove quite difficult to tune due to less stiff frames, motors optimized for power consumption and weight.
