In this first video in the series we cover the most commonly asked for questions from subscribers – How does it stack up to an APM? What is different to an APM? – then we install the APM:Copter firmware using Mission Planner then configure the basic settings (frame type, accelerometers, compass, modes and radio) so we are ready to connect it into a frame and connect the power and ESCs (covered in the next video).

Thanks to ‘R’ for donating the Pixhawk for this series - he is a very generous chap.
