"Has there been any thought or efforts by anyone to eliminate, or make optional, features on the apm2.5 to allow the hybrid mode to be used without the restrictions? The apm2.5 flies nearly as well as the naza in alt hold and loiter and is much…"
"Hi Roberto-I am having issues with barometer also and the altitude starts normally and then starts dropping off to negative altitudes even though copter is at relatively stationary altitude. How did you end up erasing the eeprom and reinstalling…"
"Thanks for the quick response. I had just discovered the check box and was about to repost. I need to have my eyes checked I think !!!"
I installed mission planner 1.2.99 on a new windows 8.1 computer and it seems to work ok, but on the Config/tuning screen I no longer have the "Advanced Parameter" list or the Full Parameter list. I haven't completely checked out the .99 version,…
"Do these parameters have an effect on the stabilize behavior or are they just for pilot input?"
"Thanks Michael, that worked. I moved my logs etc. to new folder created and all is well !"
"Tried again today with the same result-no update and same message."
"I tried to update today from 1.2.96 and get the message "update failed file downloaded does not match hash". Will try again tomorrow."

"Is the sonar used for any altitude hold functions in 3.1? I used the sonar in the earlier versions pre 2.9 but my understanding was that it was no longer used for altitude hold below 15 feet and was now used solely for terrain following/collision…"
"I am upgrading to the 3.1 from 2.9-Is there a list of parameters that need to be adjusted as you suggested in 3.0 version?"
I would like to use channel 8 as a camera trigger, but I cannot get it to set up in the planner. I choose the camera trigger option for channel 8, write the parameters, but when I refresh the parameters it shows channel 8 as doing nothing. I am…
"Today I made my first flight with the ublox gps. I had been using the MTK and was not satisfied with the accuracy etc. It would wander around sometimes in a 30 to 40 ft radius and I could never run a battery thru without correcting the position. I…"
Has there been any indication that the gps should be mounted using some isolation or is it ok to mount it directly? I haven't seen any posts indicating vibration isolation is necessary on the gps unit.I bit the bullet and bought a ublox and will…
"I saw a post (I think it was yesterday) showing the gps mounted on a pcb plate that should help gps accuracy, but I can't find the post today-does anyone know the link?"
