I have been following DIYDrones for quite a while and about to take the plunge. I have a good understanding of technology and it's application but to not have an understanding of electronics and the speak. I appreciate there are some incredibly talented people contributing their knowledge to the project, however the blogs and forums contain language that is far beyond my understanding. I am a commercial pilot and flight instructor and facinated with the potential of UAV's and their future application in life. What I am hoping to find is a very basic staring point that I can understand.On this site and associated links there are so many different references to APM 1, 1.4, 2 and 2.5, almost all still available for sale. Can I assume that 2.5 has replaced the model with the oil pan even though it is almost $100 cheaper. Does the 2.5 have the ability to connect sonar and air speed, telemetry etcI am going to start with a quad but somewhat confused what version of APM to purchase to start my experience.I would appreciate some advice please.Byron

In short, yes. You want the 2.5 version. It has the latest sensors, greatest flexibility and most compact design.
