Hi, I wonder how the motor installation height affects to flying wing stability in reality? When the motor is above the wing chord line it might give nose downward pushing moment and below the chord line it is the opposite way. Many flying wing conce

After checking the log of yesterdays flight I see that the status page wind direction varied between 260 and 310 (about 7ms). However, my observed wind and the local weather reports indicate an easterly flow at the time. Also the plane seemed to be

On a second note: would it ever be possible to playback a log file like one can do with a tlog?

Request for this to be added to the MP please.

in summer I was running an APM 2.5 quite successfully. Unfortunately one day I hit the ground with 100 mph, and the only surviving part was the damn motor :-|
I just bought a new APM, but it seems I am still out of luck: after successfully flashing
