When I write waypoints, the mission planner seems to work fine.
However, when I read them back, the waypoints are a combination of the waypoints I have just written and previous flights.

I mentioned my problem in another message but I thought I'd better describe it in a proper dedicated message.

Short of that, is there a check-in comment stream on the source code?

I did it! I've got a perfect rock solid loiter even in 13mph gust winds! My 2200 lipo apparently only gets me 3 minute stable flights. Sure the motors will spin and I can fly for the next 2 minutes, but yaw, pitch and roll would drift. The first

Could it even replace the 2.4GHz radio?
Obviously just texting messages is not a solution.
If data is routed through the internet, it could lead
