I finally got to take my new IRIS out for a short flight. Everything went well for a maiden flight except the status LEDs are not working. I removed the shell and the status LED on the PixHawk is not working either.Any suggestions for me to try…
"I've tried to find this answer in the 310+ pages with no luck.
Is the motor spin on arm option available in RC5? If so, how do I enable it?
Thanks !"

"RC5 is looking good on my APM 2.6. My first attempt at Autotune ended in a crash - Looks like 3 meters is not a good starting altitude. 10 - 15 worked much better. Definitely need a nice big open area. Altitude hold and loiter are great! Stab mode…"
