The eagle files for APM 2.5 seem to be corrupted or something. When i try to open them it says 'this file contains invalid data'...? Do I need to update the eagle viewer?

First of all: Arducopter is a really great an sophisticated project.
This is my fourth multirotor and my first Quad with APM 2.0 (others: Quad multiwii, Tri multiwii, Quad Naza, Blade mqx :) ) and the apm2 flies really well in stab mode - though ac

I own the APM 2 since 2 months build in a MPX Cularis, the plane is ready for fhe first flight, and short time before I updated to 2.60.
I use CH 5 for the second aileron and CH 6 and 7 for flaps in manual (RC6,7_FUNCTION 1).
But with 2.60 my CH 6 S
I converted a couple of logs to test and am tying to figure them out. Some parameters are obvious bit some are not. Is there a document that explains what that all means? For example I can’t figure out what flight mode that I am in?

Have the above setup, all very stock. I have just received my APM 2.5 to replace the stock gyro that came with this quad.
I am stuck on connecting the ESC's to the APM. After reading this: http://diydrones.com/forum/topics/powering-esc-s-with

Apparently the idea is when one does this, the ESC's will not shut down in a low voltage situation?
If this is true, it would appear to make sense.

yesterday I had my first flight with my Arducopter-powered Quadcopter. It worked pretty much ok, although I had a slight "wobbling" effect during flight.
You can see this effect in the video:
