Take another look at your grep syntax/command - 

ArduPlane/system.pde:27: "Move the slide switch and reset to FLY.\n"
ArduPlane/system.pde:265: Serial.println_P(PSTR("\nMove the slide switch and reset to FLY.\n"));

Hi Mike, thanks for replying...

I am using Arduplane 2.8 from the Git repository (two weeks ago), on those lines in system.pde I get

line 27:// Enable GPS

line 265:    break;

I had a look at 2.7 and I see the code, just as you say. This is very confusing, is there an issue with the GIT Repo? its as if some code is missing. See attached code

The previous grep output was from the released 2.28.

Here is what I get from the current GIT pull (updated a few moments ago) - 

code/ardupilot-mega/ArduCopter/system.pde:27: "Move the slide switch and reset to FLY.\n"
code/ardupilot-mega/ArduPlane/system.pde:27: "Move the slide switch and reset to FLY.\n"
code/ardupilot-mega/ArduPlane/system.pde:265: Serial.println_P(PSTR("\nMove the slide switch and reset to FLY.\n"))

Would you like for me to delta my working copy to two weeks ago and pull the same? What is this Ardupilot 2.8 code that you refer to? Might you be using a different project rather than the current software? The current ArduPlane release is 2.28, not 2.8...

Verify your GIT path/URL from:

http://code.google.com/p/ardupilot-mega/source/checkout

It should be: 

https://code.google.com/p/ardupilot-mega/

Nathan: Are you looking at the shared Libraries, too? Most of the ArduPlane code is in there, not the ArduPlane-specific folder.

Also, Git pulls are working fine for me.

Thanks Chris, Mike below was correct, I was looking at the wrong code.

It says Arduplane 2.8 so it confused me, I am now looking at the Ardupilot Mega 2.28 code, this will make more sense I am sure...

I think you pulled Ardupilot (Legacy) code rather than ArduPilotMega. Meanwhile, the CLI print output you are looking for is in the current ArduPilotMega / ArduPlane code. 

If you are running APM and not the old AP hardware, you will want to be working with either a release of ArduPlane 2.28 or the GIT repo at https://code.google.com/p/ardupilot-mega/ subdirectory ArduPlane (and libraries, of course) I recommend pulling a new working copy (or better, get the release from the downloads, unless you need bleeding edge....)
