Just bought an APM2

Well I took the plunge and purchased and APM2 to replace the flight controller on my Xaircraft

Looking forward to getting it and obviously now have a lot of reading to do

Any pointers would be great

OK I'm lost already (that didn't take long did it)

Thought whilst I waited for the hardware to arrive I'd download and install the required software

I have no idea what to download and install

you install the mission planner software http://code.google.com/p/ardupilot-mega/wiki/Mission

from that you can update firmware on the APM2 and configure.
