Re: [Paparazzi-devel] Anyone using gas engines with Paparazzi?

[Reto Büttner]

Hi Stephen,

we have some experience with Paparazzi and gas engines. To our
experience electric motors are a lot more reliable. Make sure your gas
engine is running well in all conditions. We had some EMI problems
with an electronic ignition. The ArduIMU is VERY sensitive to
vibrations and we had quite some problems. A lot of soft foam or IR
sensors help ...

Cheers,
Reto
