Is there any place where i can look for instructions to control a ducted fan or a propeller using ESC with the help of APM 2.5 Mega wirelessly ? i bought http://store.3drobotics.com/products/apm-2-5-kit with GPS and telemetry kit. Mission planner program that we can download is too complicated to understand and it is tailored only for copter,plane and rover. I don't need to fly now. I just need to control a brushless motor using wireless kit via computer. Not by using any hand held device.
You might wanna ask i can do this from any arduino, why would i need APM 2.5 + ? Well, first i need to control a single ducted fan or propeller and then later fly.
Is there any minor tweaking to any of the copter,plane or rover file that will suit my needs ? Or do i need to completely write my own program ?
If i have to write my own code,where is the best place to start or look for hints ?
Suggestions will be appreciated.

Hi
Ducted fan is no different than a plane( it just the propulsion unit) if you are using it in a plane then use plane version of settings for APM,
"it is tailored only for copter,plane and rover" > use plane.
good Luck
