Tim P replied to Brandon Smith's discussion Plane keeps losing altitude
"Same problem. I posted regarding this with my nitro-powered Great Planes Stick 60. As a side-note, I would like to understand what you should populated in the mission planner screen, lower right-hand corner where it wants the absolute altitude for…"

Hello, new member. I have searched the site a lot about this without any luck. I'm using apm2 in a Great Planes Stick 60 airplane. The software version is very recent, no more than a week or so old ( you can assume early July 2012 version on…
