I saw mentioned somewhere? That you could fit the current version of ArduCopter onto a 1280 board somehow? I think by eliminating various parts of the program? Does anyone have an easy step by step…Continue

"I will give that a check Monday. I am also thinking of letting it sit in the garage for a few hours for weather acclimation. The only things that are common are the receiver and the board. A Land Rover can be a difficult animal I would think, lol."

"I personally would recommend, unless you feel very confident with programming the APM, that the upgrade to 2560 board is the less painful, option. I would guess that a build with the CLI and LOGGING disabled is untested as part of normal QA and or…"
