"Board works fine for me :)  The idea is that the ground plane on the underside of the board helps damp any EM from getting to the magnetometer on the APM.  The connectors allow you to split out the +5 volt lines coming out of the ESCs so…"

"Flight weight is 1792 grams.  That's including a 406g battery and ballast equal to a 200g Go-Pro.  Which means AUW with a real GoPro and FPV transmitter should be under 2kg."
