As a new comer to uav's I am having problems with interpreting the abbreviations that are used, such as ECU, GCP, etc. is there a reference to abbreviations anywhere please?
Steve
 
ecu is likely to be electronic control unit...
gcp -- never seen that one -- where did you see it?

"etc" -- add a list and we'll try and answer!

But, for a start:

esc = electronic speed control
imu = inertial measurement unit
 
RTFM = Read the FUNNY Manual
IOC = Intelligent Orientation Control
RTH = Return to Home
 
WTF - Invalid battery warning
 
FPV = First Person View (where you can see with goggles or a monitor what your Phantom's camera sees
OSD = On Screen Display (where you can see the telemetry/altitute info on your FPV monitor/goggles)
AUW = all up weight (of your craft)
 
Ok at least we got some and I have a couple more here.

Let's make a list, so if you have any Abbreviations not on this list, please copy this list and paste your abbreviations into you new post. Just so we don't have them all over the place.
Also if something are incorrect please correct, and please put them in alphabetic order, Thanks
