Re: [Paparazzi-devel] Missing Makefile.arm7 ?

[David Conger]

Hi Martin,

Thank you. I apologize for being lazy and not digging more. I really appreciate 
yours and Felix help with it. 

Guess what? My friend Urivan and I flew yesterday a near perfect flight. He 
setup a complex flight plan with auto take-off, line navigation between points, 
holding circles, survey, figure 8 and auto landing. It flew amazingly. Takeoff 
and the entire flight was flawless. Only on the last turn for landing I wanted 
to manually land as we were in a very tight on space for the landing. If left 
alone we both agreed quite likely it would have landed just fine. 

I'm so impressed with Paparazzi. Just how once you get it setup on the bench 
properly it just flies so precisely. On the GCS replay it was so precisely on 
the lines and curves exactly. Our turns were 50m radius which it did easily. It 
did lose some altitude during sharp turns but recovered quickly. The terrain 
was not flat at all and IR worked just fine. I'm glad it did on replay I saw i 
lost RC signal many times during the flight. RC is really not needed anymore 
for us. I completely trust the autopilot now after that flight. 

Thank you everyone who wrote and contribute to this incredible autopilot. To 
imagine it is free and open is a dream come true. 

-David
