My main concern as repeated a number of time in a number of other posts is the safety aspect needs to be a primary focus on this APM project.
So far many suggestions have been ignored to date. We really must all demand a better fail-safe functions and AT MINIMUM A WAY TO KILL THE MACHINE! if it gets out of control. This is a MUST!!
Why can we not have the 8th channel and have it recoded for multirotors so we can select this for a KILL switch function?
Let all look at and discuss some better options for better safety here.

Hi I use a simular device from robot shop ( a RC controlled relay ) but I put it in the speed control input to the ESC on my airplane, that way when I use left rudder (not connected on my flying wing) to control the relay I have a sure method to make certain that the motor is stopped BUT I still get the GPS data so I know where it comes down to earth and hopefully find it again.
