Is it possible to auto launch an aircraft with APM 2.0 off an angled ramp?

We have a purposed built UAV wing that currently launches under its own power using a 6ft guide ramp. Currently, all calibrations are done at the level position and then placed on a 30 degree ramp…Continue

When I connect my sparkfun to plane, both servos glitch. I can minimize the effect by clasping the jumper/plug (for wireless) into the board with my fingers. So that tells me I need a better…Continue

We have a purposed built UAV wing that currently launches under its own power using a 6ft guide ramp. Currently, all calibrations are done at the level position and then placed on a 30 degree ramp for a manual takeoff.Being that this is a 3.5 kw, 100mph+, 15lb. wing, I do not want to flip the switch for auto until all concerns are adressed.If anyone has any experience to share, or can post a link, it would be appreciated.Thank you.

cxgiacomo replied to Michael Foersterling's discussion No esc/servo output"Ran into this problem today as well. Check your jumper pin. The autopilot will power fine and receive signals, but will not output to the servos if you are powering the board on the input side. If you power via the outputs, your servos should start…"
Michael Foersterling replied to Michael Foersterling's discussion No esc/servo output"Update.. this unit was previously installed, but not flown in a quad. Perhaps I need to install Aruduplane again. "

I have a new APM2 flashed for aircraft use and installed.. Mavlink is working. Radio is calibrated and mode switch are recongnized and working, but no apparent output.. no servo movement or esc armed.I have a separate Castle Pro BEC set for 5v, plugged to input, (with jumper) but no means to measure actual voltage..I will buy a voltage tester if there are possible voltage concerns.ESC has been calibrated and all is working well when plugged directly into reciever.

"this is just an noise issue, try moving the wireless transmitter further from the receiver and apm."
Michael Foersterling replied to Michael Foersterling's discussion stabilized mode problems"After closer inspection, I realized the plane was in auto.. for some reason my switches were not programed correct.
Its good now but now my servos are glitching... (posting new thread)"
Daniel Gru replied to Michael Foersterling's discussion presuure sensor?"it is writen in the Wiki of the Arducopter at least.Protect it with felt or another air-let-through foam...I used a cotton ball with a bit of tape over it to keep it safe from light and wind...Daniel"
Ryan replied to Michael Foersterling's discussion Gyro/DIP problem"Try switching the servo leads. That is, plug the left servo where the right one is on the APM and vice versa."
