This seems to be ON by default, it slows everything down and makes viewing on an IPhone almost impossible. How do I get rid of it!!!

Dwgsparky replied to Andrew Tridgell's discussion ArduPlane 2.73 released"Thanks Tridge.
I set my APM 2.0 up for 2.73 at the weekend and I did mine exactly the way you describe. It works very well and the plane flies very well in all modes."
Dwgsparky replied to Oliver G.'s discussion Is there a limit for DO_DIGICAM_CONTROL commands?"Hi Nick
Wow, that works for me, trigger every XX metres (or feet) and an option to start when "in flight" OR at a defined WP would be my dream. it simplifies the whole process. We already have a flight distance counter and flight timer…"
Dwgsparky replied to Andrew Tridgell's discussion ArduPlane 2.73 released"Hi
APM 2 software v2.73
If I set "feet" as the units of measure in the planner and then add "distance travelled" to my user items on the HUD is this also measuring feet ? Also are the Loiter, circle and WP radii also…"

Dwgsparky replied to Richard's discussion Using Flying wings for aerial mapping"Hi Andy
My X5 wing has Turnigy TGY-113MG Digital metal gear servos and they work really well, fast and strong and cheap. (9$) over 20 flights with no issues other than they chatter a little like most digital servos. I really like the strong servo…"
Dwgsparky replied to Richard's discussion Using Flying wings for aerial mapping"Hi Rich. I had a good day yesterday with X5, 2.73with elevons. Much better but the setup is more work, I, getting 45' in fbwa, did 5 times around a small mission, it was windy but coped well. My WP was too small and it missed the last one due…"
Dwgsparky replied to Andrew Tridgell's discussion ArduPlane 2.73 released"Hi. First flights with 2.73 in APM 2 on an X5
The new eleven system is many times better than the old version. The setup is more work but so worth it. Still needs a bit of fine tuning but 90% correct and flyable on first flight. Good auto tracking,…"
Dwgsparky commented on Matt Gunn's blog post Mapping Mission Ride Along"Congrats Matt, great picture. Glad everything word for you"
Dwgsparky replied to Matt Gunn's discussion Anyone successfully gotten their camera to trigger on waypoint?"You do this in the mission planner waypoints. Add a new waypoint and then use the. Drop down to select the Do-servo-repeat boxes now ask for the channel number. Values. Repeats and delays"
Dwgsparky replied to Dwgsparky's discussion Succesful catapult launch system"Hi Martin / Dennis
Its coming. Sorry for the delay due to launch in 10 days .. New modifications being tested on the carraige to operate with the difficult planes (like the X5 ) where the motor cannot run because the pushing mechanism gets in the…"
Dwgsparky replied to Matt Gunn's discussion Anyone successfully gotten their camera to trigger on waypoint?"Hi
I got mine to work OK but I was using a servo from the APM and controlling it with DO_Servo-Repeat function so I got a series of images around the waypoint .
I also set up the output ch 7 as a user item on the HUD so I could see the PWM value on…"

Like many people here I browse with my Iphone and use a PC/ Laptop for more serious stuff or for posts.
The chat screws up the Iphone and the tool bar still follows the cursur which is annoying!
