Hi peopleI have this plane (http://www.mirax.cl/detalles.php?codigo=10153) with a Ardupilotversion 2.0.1, no Z sensor.I put some waypoints in the waipoints tab all with the same altitude (25 mts),but when I actuvate the autopilot, it does the mission, but always going up like15-30 degres, and never comes down.Should it maintain altitude or read the altitude from the waypoints?There is something more to configure?Thanks

Should it read GPS altitud and then pull the elevator to compensate? Or maybe it doesn´t pull it enough?
Btw, I tried software version 2.1 in my ardupilot board (w/atmega 168) and it doesn´t work. Something to look to
see what the problem is?
Thanks in advance
It should maintain altitude (using GPS data and throttle control), but each airframe needs to be tweaked and that's tricky, especially for an airframe we've never seen before. I'd recommend you upgrade to 2.2 with the shield and airspeed sensor, which will allow much more precise altitude control using both throttle and elevator.

I believed that I needed the board with atmega 328 for that version.
