hello, I'm 100% new here and would like to build ardupilot.i have one qustion at ardupilot 2.xx:1- it is possible at this time to regulate throttle at ardupilot ? or coming in next future ?2- if so, what do I need everything for the building? (with all futures)2- it´s possible at next time to integrated OSD into sparkfun-board or i used separately osd too ?4- it´s possible for AP 2.xx to flight in "assistant mode" ? can i switsh with radio between RTL or "assistant" ?sorry for my bad english :-)cu olli

I am far less experienced then Joseph, but it is my understanding that you can use a separate OSD along with ArduPilot so long as all you want is the graphical-overlay (and not a RTF feature, etc). I had planned on using either an Intelligent Flight or a Dragon OSD myself, but I can not seem to find a store that has them in stock.
I am not an Ardupilot expert but I think I can answer the 3rd question.
Based on the amount of processing power required to do an OSD overlay I believe it is beyond the scope of the Ardupilot hardware capabilities. Though there is nothing wrong with using an external OSD. However, keep in mind that the nature of the Arduinio platform facilitates additional daughter boards called "shields" it would be possible to create such a daughter board that performs OSD functions in conjuction with the Ardupilot.
