Flying a SkySurfer with APM 2.6 with latest ArduPlane version. Many flights with Manual, Stabilize, Loiter, and simple Auto missions. Will increase mission complexity, then add a few sensors, then go for FPV when I get really comfortable.

I have flown with APM 2.6 with the external GPS/compass for several months. The compass has always been of about 40 degrees, but I haven't worried too much about it, as the plane flies missions well. With the latest 2.75 plane, it began throwing…
"I think maybe the 0 min and max altitude option to default to alt_hold_rtl is in the next version. I simply loaded a 1 min and 60 max altitude and it went to 30 m. Works for me!"
Is there a way to pull telemetry data from APM 2.6 and send to my FrSky telemetry capable receiver? I realize telemetry is normally sent via Tx/Rx to the Mission planner GCS, but the FrSky telemetry viewer seems to be a quicker/lighter solution.…
the return point altitude doesn't appear to work. After returning to the fence and getting to Return point, then my plane cuts power and took a deep dive, and I had to recover manually. I have 0 min and max fence altitude, so it should follow…

"Would you mind updating the Bixler param file to reflect the latest options and remove old options (ex. manual level)
BTW.. thanks much for the great improvements and timely updates. You're doing a great thing."

I would like to not have to level the plane upon every startup.
Forgive me, but I'm a newby. I have everything hooked up, and getting no radio input signal to the APM. Realized I have no power to the receiver so it doesn't show the bind light. How should it get power?
How do you load a param file? I see no Load or Save file button in 2.74b
