Also added my plane's parameter file here...

FYI it's a Parkzone Radian glider

I'm having a bit of trouble with autoland too .... but just that the accuracy leaves a lot to be desired (APM2.0) so I really need to steer it in via rudder and even then it's a pretty heavy landing. Any autolanding experts out there willing to share some tips on plane landings ??

I believe it's the Mediatek MT3329, (I think that's what came with the APM2.0 kit, I'll have to check tonight).  One thing to note, from the log files (when I view the kmz in google earth) it's obvious it seems to be trying to hold the default altitude of 10m above ground (~44m absolute) for the last few waypoints, even though they are set to 5m and lower.
