Input and Output..

I have APM 2.5 and wonder how input and output are supposed to connect to...

I want autopilot and and manual flight..

If I do autopilot then do I need still need input?? and for what?? because I'm thinking.. if I upload

and if I do with manual.. then I need input connected to receiver like AR7000...

any help would be appreciated 

thanks... ^^

Yes, you need a RC receiver connected as a backup to regain manual control.

You need a receiver connected. It's just not used during autonomous flight.

Do you need 2 receiver, for manual flight and for fly-by-wire.

APM will do switching, when you want to do, manual or FBW. When you flying in AUTO, for example, APM will execute a flight plane.

But, if you want, could you through radio do some nudges, understood? Did you really, read this WIKI??
