"Hey Matt...just saw this. Yes, disable the channel for APM based control. The MP knows how to control it by using do_set_servo or do_repeat_servo in a mission, and you set the channel and PWM value.
Hope this helps."

Hello Everyone,
I've recently had the chance to get some basic acrobatic moves scripted for fixed-wing airplanes. They are far from perfect, but I wanted to share.
In the (slightly choppy) video, you'll see a left roll, a right roll and most of a loop.
Let's talk a bit about how to…

John, you had told me that triggering the camera on wa points works, but Im am unable to get it to work. Is there any chance you could just describe to me the order of operations? Im desperate here, spending a lot of money and time building this mapping rig, but just cant seem to make it snap on waypoints. It does trigger through the MP if I select "trigger camera now" but not on the waypoint. Just a nudge in the right direction is all Im asking. I would be very grateful.
