I have a few basic questions about setting different throttle positions in the mission planner. For example, if I am in straight and level flight I probably only need about 50% power. If I'm in a…Continue

Kenobi replied to Dave Schmitt's discussion Does Channel 7 RTL feature overide current flight mode??"Sorry , i forgot to give feedback. Channel 7 RTL set in MP does override any flight mode you are in and RTL will be activated. if you switch it off, you return to your previous flight mode."
John Moore replied to Dave Schmitt's discussion Does Channel 7 RTL feature overide current flight mode??"What ever came of this? I am trying to set the Flight Mode of my APM 2.5 via Mission Planner connected over Telemetry. Can not tell if the mode changes from what the mode switch is set too.

Kenobi replied to Dave Schmitt's discussion Does Channel 7 RTL feature overide current flight mode??"If anyone can confirm that this is actually tested and works then i would definately prefer my 3 pos switch set to Stabilize,alt hold and loiter. While channel 7 used for RTL too."
Dave Schmitt replied to Dave Schmitt's discussion Does Channel 7 RTL feature overide current flight mode??"Thanks for the quick responses. I'm glad to see I wasn't the only one trying to get this figured out. It makes sense that your last input would be the primary mode. I figured for FPV flying with my quad its mode 1 = stabilized mode, mode 2…"
Dwgsparky replied to Dave Schmitt's discussion Does Channel 7 RTL feature overide current flight mode??"The mode is changed to whatever is selected or moved last, this why you can select from either the MP or the RC. You can mi. 2 channels on the t. To give either 5 or 6 different modes"
Brian S replied to Dave Schmitt's discussion Does Channel 7 RTL feature overide current flight mode??"Dave,
I've seem to have the same setup but with a Futaba. FYI, I'm still in the setup stage and had the same question. I have flown in Stable Mode, but that's it. So, back to your question. I have my 3 position switch for flight modes…"

Dave Schmitt replied to Ryan's discussion RTL Altitude and Approch settings gone?"Ryan,
Thanks for the response. This is just what I was looking for. I have seen this page but was always looking under the wrong code. I'll post a video here of my RTL when I have tested it. Thanks again for your…"
Bill Bonney replied to Dave Schmitt's discussion RTL Set-up"See http://code.google.com/p/ardupilot-mega/wiki/APM_Parameters and search for RTL
And you can set the alt in the advanced tab
I'm not near a computer to check MP."
Dave Schmitt replied to Ryan's discussion RTL Altitude and Approch settings gone?"Yeah, I'm in the same boat you are. The seetings are not there anymore. I saw in a similar post that you use the default altitude on the mission planner screen. I posted this question last night and to my surprise no response. I understand…"
Dave Schmitt posted a discussionRTL Set-up
About a month ago there was a RTL set-up on the configuration screen. It allowed you to set the altitude you wanted your quadcopter to climb to when RTL was engaged, the speed it would return to the launch point, and what altitude it would go to once arriving at the launch point. If you put 0 it would land. Now this setting is no longer there. I understand how to make adjust these settings in Auto mode but I would like to have this as its own RTL mode so when I'm flying FPV I can have it climb…See More
