Do I really need a pusher and a puller (set)?Can't I just use just a pusher and run the motor in the other direction when needing a puller effect?

Please see tracker issue 157 for the beggining of the story.
I think that there is definitely a PPM encoder problem.
I thought at first that my APM board was faultly. Chris kindly sent me a replacement board, a 1280 board instead of the original 2560

I'm having a very hard time tuning PID's.
Frame is a MK50 with KDA 20-22L and 10x4,7 APC's.
Frame, motors and props are leveled.
Nevertheless, pid tuning is very hard to tune.
I followed the updated troubleshoot on the wiki.

I would like to hear some opinions concerning an alternative to the KDA.
I'm using a MK50 frame and would like a little more power and quality.

I have been using the APM planner as just a way to burn new code into the copter. Tonight I started playing with some of the setup features. I'm not getting expected results.

RTL vs.Loiter
Is there any way to distinguish between RTL and loiter via the Mavlink? From what I can see, when an RTL command is active it is implemented as a loiter at the home position, so the flight status that is sent is loiter. The HK GCS and APM Planner bot
