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

Has anyone been (or tried) using the Digi XTend 900MHz modem with your APM? I've been looking for a decent radio that will provide much greater range than the XBee and this one's output power is programmable from 1mW to 1W. Thanks for any hel

But when I get back to the flight data, under status, the "mode" field doesnt correspond to the modes I configured in the CLI (I am connected via USB) which one of them is the correct indication of the mode?

I have a custom home made frame and noticed with my 2x 2100mah batterys, the CG is about 2.5" below the props. Am I right that the lower the cg is the lower the P will be due to the quad already wants to right itself? If this is so, addi
