Hi
While browsing log files, I am having difficulty knowing what data is in each column.

For example, the ATT data, I thought, has these columns - Roll In, Roll, Pitch In, P

Thanks!

In the manual it says that when RTL is switched on, the copter will climb to a minimum altitude 15m.
Is 15m absolute, or is it relative to the home position where the copter was armed?
Thanks.

I slipped when tightening the prop bolt on one of my nice shiny (expensive!) T-Motors and the hex driver went into the windings. You can see from the image below that at least one of the wires is definitely severed, and others could have

So it fills me with some trepidation to realise that to get APM telemetry through the 3DR radio
