"Yes they did!"

"Those wings seem to flex up and down a lot, especially in that landing shot. "

"Flew my X8 with the 2.73 firmware yesterday. This navigation control is excellent. The aircraft now loiters in a perfect circle with the default settings whereas with the prior version it loitered in a square. It hits every way point exactly and the…"

"I would tend to disagree with first setting up stabilize however. I made sure everything worked in manual by mixing the radio. Then used the reverse options in mission planner to get stabilize working. Just my thoughts though."

"I tend to agree that the text is wrong it should be 1 to port and 2 to starboard. I recently pulled everything apart and when I plugged it all back in, everything was OK in manual but stabilize was wrong. I thought something else must have changed…"

"The plane will not restart the same mission just by switch to auto again after completing the mission. You can issue a command via telemetry to Restart Mission. As far as I know this has always been the case."

"I think we need a few more details. What is the airframe, standard 4 channel? Another thing to check is make sure the APM has the correct orientation."

"Also the latest version switches to circle for a short while as part of RTL I think. That may explain the seemingly random elevon deflections as well as the attitude problem. "

"On my X8 initially stabilize would lose altitude very quickly and even loiter would too. I had to level the plane in a fairly pronounced nose up attitude to overcome these problems. I think what looks like level to the X8 on the ground is really…"

"Seriously build yourself a bungee launcher for about $30. The X8 is far to big and the prop far too dangerous for a hand launch in my opinion. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KfVhfR4Cj_Y The above video is my bungee launcher built for about $30 If…"

"Hi there According to your tlog file there is no GPS attached to your copter. Did you check the GPS status before setting it on its mission?"

"Just guessing but you probably get 360 when the heading is at 359.5 and above and you probably get 0 when the heading is between 0 and 0.5 degrees. I would have to check the code to see what is actually going on."

"What do you need help with? The transmitter setup? Or the APM setup? Lloyd"

"I think you need to get some moongel as in the blog post a couple below this one."

"Your log is quite unusual compared to my logs. There are quite a lot of mode changes. Also your plane looks to be flying sideways quite often. Just before the end of the log the HUD shows the plane rolled twice. Did that actually happen?"

"Not sure why you would have lost control. I would always recommend a separate BEC however. Do you have any telemetry logs?"
