Finished it about an hour ago!
First thing I did:
1. Plugged in the battery - the APM did NOT turn on. No smoking, or anything :-)
2. Ignored that for now, and plugged the arduino in my computer. Uploaded firmware, and tested the radio. NO SIGNAL. Again, double checked all the wiki instructions...no problems. I'm using a 6 channel Eflight blade CP-pro 2 tx/rx.
Everything else seems to work fine! The gps, magnetometer, and xbee!
Any ideas what might cause these 2 problems? I'm eager to get this thing flying.
Thanks!

Check to see if the red and blk wires from the PDB have power. I have a retro kinda quad, my blog might help You.
Quad build fast track
Pluged the arduino into computer? Do you mean the ardupilot mega with the APM pluged into the top of it? If yes, did you load the firmware with the APM mission planner? If so did the lights blink while it was uploading the code?
