Tough flight today.
I've had some problems with my XBee so when I finally got everything working again, I updated to 1.0.76 today. I had 3 successful flights on 1.0.73.
The plane flew through way point 4 approximately as I'd expect. However, as t

The 2.0.45 in download area has a bug.
If you compile with # define CH7_OPTION CH7_FLIP in apm_config.h you get this error:

As using Mission Planner is possible to upload only the last firmware version, if you want to downgrade to a older firmware you must use Arduino.

is the new signal level in Planner documented anywhere? What is it supposed to show? Is it for the xBee signal strength or the radio Rx signal strength?
Thanks,
