I've just released ArduPlane 2.65
This is what is known in the free software community as a "brown paper bag" release, because the developer (that's me) thinks he should hide his head in a brown paper bag out of sheer embarrassment.
Steven G noticed that my fix for stick mixing in CIRCLE mode in 2.64 broke STABILISE mode. When I test flew 2.64 I tested FBWA, but not STABILISE mode!
So the only change in 2.65 is to fix that. My apologies for the 2.64 release!
Cheers, Tridge

Andrew,
ArduPlane 2.65 looses altitude drastically soon after it takes turn toward the waypoint, after the auto take off but after loosing some 20-25 mt of altitude, it recovers altitude.
The situation can be dangerous as If I set say 25mt altitude for auto take off than chances are the plane will hit the ground when it just starts turning to the waypoint, immediate after auto take off. Video clip is for reference.
Why it shuts off throtle for some time when it take turn, soon after auto take off ?
Hi.
Please fix the short failsafe that uses circle, instead of RTL.
Circle does not even maintain altitude, and increases the risk while near terrain or ground.
It's working *very* well, very accurate and good navigation.
Thank you.
Thanks tridge for the fix, I had problems yesterday with stabilize, updating now.
@Martin Bellomo: I have done several successfullauto takeoffs on sunday with V. 2.64.
Wow !!
Release RUSH ! Faster than tests, I haven´t enough good days for testing so many soft versions.
I have one question Andrew... Do you test Auto Take Off... Is it fixed now ? My last Auto Take off ends in a crash.
When APM ends ATO and change to next waypoint cut off engine and turns to next waypoint and looses too much altitude, In may last flight my elevator horn fails. I had enough elevator to flight straight and climb, but the airplane looses too much altitude and ends diving fast so with reduced elevator capability APM wasn´t able to recover.
ATO is critical for my project.
Thanks for your dedication, APM is great !
Hi Andrew,
Good on you! I'm trying to use do_set_parameter , do_repeat_servo and do_mount_control commands in MP1.2.12 as well as the older versions which seems non of them are working! Can you please advise...
Cheers, Aami
Don't be so hard on yourself...we appreciate your work no matter how brown-paper-baggy it may get on the odd occasion.
