I've been playing around with the takeoff command (APM 1.4) and any time I put in a takeoff angle of greater than around 260 degrees, the angle in the autopilot gets set to a radically different angle. For instance, when I set the takeoff angle to 330 and then read it back in mission planner, I wind up with a takeoff angle of around 070. Not double checking this resulted in the destruction of one of our Bixlers. Perhaps I am not understanding the angle portion of the takeoff command. Is this a bug or is the takeoff angle parameter not related to compass direction?
Thanks,

take off angle is meant to be the takeoff pitch angle, not anything else.
ie 0 to say 45 degrees.
