I'm going to put an APM2.5 on an Trad Heli, and I need to use an external mag so that I can have it on the tail away from the main motor. How do you do this? I see the solder jumper, but I haven't seen any documentation on the use of this jumper. Do you bridge it to enable the Mag, or disable it?

Ok, so Jeff Smith figured it out. There is a solder jumper pad which is pointed to in the APM2.5 announcement:
Between those two pads, there is actually a tiny trace linking them. You have to cut this trace. Now the onboard mag is disabled. If you ever want to re-enable it, simply bridge the solder jumper pads to reconnect the circuit.
Simple.
