I am using ArduPilot Mega v1.4 board for ARDU-PLANE. (This comes with ArduIMU + controller board already soldered). I have attached a servo to Ouput pin 2 (for reading pitch of flight). I have powered the controller via the USB and servo via a 5V
Is there any difference in board dimensions?
Will they both fit the same mounting holes?
Will they both fit the same plastic case or is there a new case on the way for the APM2.5?

When I try to do tests for my APM2 with MP (IMU, radio, pressure,...) and the last firmware, some lines of the tests show in blank or some digits displaced.
This is normal? or I have some problem?

Thanks

Also can i set in the last box on the take off command to 10 mtr's and will it then take off and climb to 10 mtr's before moving to the first waypoint?
