Mega seems to work well with the Mega and the IMU.
In the IMU tab when you compile, change all the Serial. to Serial1. to get the data from the IMU.
I guess we need a version called ArduPilotMega 2.6 or something like that.

Dear All,
I had made a balsa mosel of pusher configuration with the poluhideeral wing span of 1.6m.
I had just done a flight test today and recorded some observations.
1. I did a hand launch , plane dives when throttle is more than 3/4.
Saw this over at RCG.

Hi,
I managed to destroy a lipo when testing an ardupilot. I didn't notice the ESC had powered down because the LIPO voltage had dropped too low, The ardupilot susequently drained the lipo.
I was surprised that the ESC could power down but still prov
