I was wondering whether the loiter mode on the APM2 can be configured to work with manual throttle input like the Loiter mode of Dji naza ( Atleast mine acts like the Alt hold where you can either fo almost full throttle or sub hover speed. It would

I have the following error when I upload the flight plan. The telemetry is fully operational, and I can´t upload the flight plan with usb and with modem neither. Anybody know what happens? Thanks in advance. Jesús
I thought that up until very recently there was a top content section on the top right of DIYDrones page. I see the groups section now but the top content seems to have gone.
Is it just me?

I just saw in the Arduino code of the ArduPlane 2.5 that there are a lot of "gcs_send_text_P"
