Variable Pitch controller H type quadcopter

[boldpilot53]

Hi to all,
I recently purchase an assault Reaper 500 Collective Pitch 3D quad copter, but don’t like their Flight controller.
Their flight controller is primitive and can’t be interfaced over Telemetry Radio or WiFi
I saw a article in APM copter.ardupilot.com/wiki/tradit … nd-motors/
The link above describes an Helicopter setup that use servos for RUD, ELE, AIL and PITCH
The article shows basic configuration of the transmitter/receiver and was thinking if it was adaptable to my Reaper 500 quad copter to my APM 2.7.2 flight controller.
Is there anyone that could help me or guide me to the right direction.
I have also no knowledge what so ever in how to code the Mission Planner that I am using.

Any help would be appreciated

It is highly aerobatic, with extremely rapid control available. As part of the supp…

if you’d still like to try your reaper then please join that discussion.
