Excellent! Added to the manual here.

Fantastic! I'm going to try it out tonight.

That's great! Will try this path because the other way previously suggested didn`t worked for me (It may be me, later I realized I have to add another step).

By the way, I have been having trouble making work the spektrum AR7000 receiver with the APM2 for plane use.... The controls just don't react when unplugged from the Mission Planner. Can't find if there's any post on this (Spektrum AR7000 receiver integration to APM2). Any light will be appreciated!...

Awesome! Thanks for this.

I'm using AR 8000, Mine the +5 is middle. Neg is on the outside by writing Elev. Rud.ect. the S. wire from the apmver 2 has 6 ea wires.They are on the back set of the 3 pin rows. +5v always the middle pin and can power APM from any open set of 3 rows so us can use Aux1 to power then using USB power and bind pin in Bind port. If you look closely at the APM they should read pin numbers 1. Elev 2. Alier 3. Throttle 4. Rudder wire 5 goes to Aux 1 on reciever.  6 wire  goes to Aux 2. then you need to mix channel 5 + 6.  Chan. 5 should be 3 pos switch. 6 is the two pos. switch. Channel 5 is used for your Loiter Alt, hold, RTL.

Thanks for this 

I am setting up my APM for the first time and in the radio calibration I can select through 6 positions however in the flight modes tab I can only select 3. Rather confused.

Did you find the problem?

I had some trouble when I was setting up a DX7 for the first time.

Later on I read that I should try a new model memory and do the calibration again.... I tried and it worked. working fine since then, but I really don`t know what the initial problem was.,..

 

Maybe you can try this path. Hope this helps

Just got it to work. the problem was that I had the Gear plugged into the 6th rather than the 5th position on the apm. 

Thanks

I followed this closely and did not succeed. Could someone using an AR8000 possibly describe their exactly cabling from RC Rx to APM?
It would be much appreciated.

I can share mine settings if you want, its slightly different. It actually gives 5 flight modes not 6.

Do you hve a dx7?
