"There was an error on my part too. I forgot that APM2 doesn't have a hardware multiplexer on the servo channels to connect the RC inputs directly to the servos, so the APM SW can't just go away and manual mode be unaffected."

"OK, Sorry you are right my bad. I made the test and , the manual mode is note troubled by the Reverse_Elevon#parameters. "

"In the methode read_radio() of Radio.pde the Reverse_Elevon# parameters are used and In the methode set_servos(void) of Attitude.pde the Reverse_Elevon# parameters are used once again."

"That is obviously not as you tell, because changing parameters Reverse_Elevon1 or Reverse_Elevon2 change the behaviour in manual mode. In the code I can also see that the Reverse_Elevon# parameters are used in manual mode. so APM SW does…"

"Manual mode passes the receiver signals straight through to the servos. The APM SW does not touch them at all. The APM SW could be completely non-functional and manual mode will still let you fly the plane. This means you get your RC setup working…"

"Hi, I got back My APM2 board. The Serial converter was fried. So I am back into the Ardu-Xeno plane. About Elevon mixing configuration, described in the Wiki the Manual mode is configured first. So I cannot understand how this could work…"

"You should consider adding a protection lens : http://www.fpvmanuals.com/2011/12/15/introducing-layerlens-gopro-lens-protection/ It is really light and might save your camera"

"Set your tx for max throws before calibrating, then reduce them to the values to what you need to fly after the calibration is done."

"I guess this thread is a little old, but my HUD response is reversed in elevon mode...is anyone else's like that? Thanks JC"

"Phil has it in the screenshot up here ^^^^^^^ I have elevons, stabilize and rc input working on a Zii with those same configs. HOWEVER, I have my dual-rates turned way down, and after multiple radio calibrations/resets, I still get full deflection…"

"I am haveing a similar issue with my APM board. it is a 1.0 with 2.33 firmware installed. I can only connect via usb but the ability to link via usb is random and i can not get it to repeat consistantly. not sure the issue. let me know if you find…"

"Thanks. I will try with yours as well."

"unfortunately I sold My Copter. The value from the screenshot above were at the begining of the adventure, The latest values were the ones on the screenshot below. But it really depends on the motor/esc couple. I used the tuning from channel 7 to…"

"Silvyne hi, I have also Gaui 500 frame with APM. I am testing it in various setups, but I see your PID values are very different from mine. For example Stabilize Roll i have 4,6 you have really 1,6? it is hard to believe because when I changed it to…"

"We're rolling in stabilize/test modes already... FBW A is the most useful for general-purpose use. You might want to try that one."
