Arducopter 2.8.1 is now in the mission planner and in the downloads area! Remember to do your MP configuration again after loading this code, since it erases your EEPROM and sets it to the new defaults.

I've manually calibrated 6 of the 6 ESCs/motors. they arm and rotate as expected.
For each arming, the first few times I move the throttle stick up & down the props come to a complete stop of rotation'.

What happens if you try to overdrive your ESCs (e.g. put a big motor on a 10A ESC and throttle it all the way up)? Will most ESCs limit the current, or will they deliver the current and possibly overheat?
I think my ESCs may be limiting my payl
