I've been away for a while while waiting for support for 4 channel aircraft, as I have a EZ glider. Looks like i've missed alot, and have a lot to catch up on! At first glance, it appears that only the EZstar is still being supported, is that correct? If so, is there an ETA on 4 channel support?

No plans for 4-channel support at this time, but we will be expanding to cover other 3-channel platforms, including the EasyGlider, SuperStar, Funjet, Xeno and others. Note that some of those (such as the Superstar) are 4-channel aircraft, but ArduPilot only controls 3 of those channels. In the case of the Superstar, it ignores the rudder, which means that the turns aren't coordinated (just like the way I fly!)
Technically, ArduPilot can control 4 channels, but we haven't really seen the need for it yet. I expect we'll use the 4th channel to trigger a camera, rather than for control surfaces.
