I am a novice with Autopilot thing, but have quite some experience with building of Helis and planes. While programming the Autopilot code in mission planner we have level command.
How do you guys level properly.
If not leveled properly what disaster may it cause on flights.
I can initiate the level command before flying using Yaw stick. Is it really require to properly balance the copter in field for leveling before flying
How can i do leveling if I am using arduino and no mission planner

I've never used auto levelling. You should be able to perfectly level your frame using a good level on arms to set the frame level, and run the level command.
Your APM must be level compared to the frame for this to work correctly.
Then after level, you should see roll and pitch value = 0 inside Mission planner.
I never tried to fly unleveled, but i think that hovers are more difficults if the leveling is not precise enough.
