There are some problems about Auto WP in Mission Planner.
I usually use Auto WP to plan the route.
But, I found that the limit of width is about 3~4m.

After ~300 flights I finally crashed my old plane due to a mid-air battery failure. Not a pretty picture I must tell. But Pixhawk and all peripherals survived
I moved the Pixhawk to a brand new FX-79. loaded the 3.4 and went to the field:
I've got a skywalker 1830 on APM that i'm getting 45min-1hr of flight time on. So far I've been unable to get a log for a complete flight. The log always cuts off the beginning of the flight. I believe I have the bitmask set to the lowest logging par

I aim to collect IMU samples at 250Hz.
To do that, if I set gyro DLPF_CFG 1 - 7, the ADC sampling is 1kHz and so SMPLRT_DIV is set to 3 to get that 250Hz. All works well - the time of flight matches the number of samples taken to 0.1% e.g. a 10s flig
