X Configuration and APM Placement

I've been running NG RC2 in X configuration and noticed in the docs for Arducopter 2 Beta 1 a difference between these two pages:AC2_Frame_Assembly - mount the APM pointing forward towards the left armAC2_Radio - mount the APM pointing between the 2 front arms.I'm not sure which is correct, but I wanted to point out the doc differences.Heino

    Thanks, Hein. I've corrected the AC2_Frame_Assembly page. With ArduCopter 2, the APM board must always be pointing "forward" in the direction of motion. To simplify setup for most users, we are no longer supporting a range of possible orientations.

    One of the big changes in AC2 is our focus on improving the newbie/"out of the box" experience. So that means eliminating the need for Arduino, config files and all sorts of confusing setup options. Most are still there for the experts who want them, but we're going to strongly encourage users to use the standard recommended configurations.
