there is a way to customize the arm/disarm TX sticks routine?
especially the disarming is very erratic...or maybe is the way it is but when i use the NAZA the disarming is much faster and more intuitive...(down-left + down-right)
the 5 sec. on ardupilot are non sense..
am i doing somthing wrong?

Franc,
Slave channel 7 to a switch and set it to motor cut-off in the configuration screen. Must have 7+ channel tx as mission planner wont let you use channel 6 for this function. Motors disarm immediatly when switch is pulled, copter disarms within 3-5 seconds.
Hope this helps,
Jon
I realise this is an old thread but has anyone found a work around this issue of slow disarming?
Seeing as you cannot have an emergency stop whilst using the APM2.8/2.6 boards if there is ever an issue you have to wait 5 seconds to disarm the copter. This is a serious health hazard and a sure fire way to burn out your motors! Even if you could flick a switch to disarm the motors, the likely hood of holding your sticks in down-left + down-right during a flight is unlikely, so the disarming time could be minute - 1 second would suffice.
Please help!
Thanks.
I'd be interested in this as well. Sometimes props spin up after the copter has landed in RTL or Land and it flips over before I can disarm. Faster would be better!
