Ardupilot Code question
How is it that the ardupilot code doesn't ask you for moments of inertia, mass, aspect ratio, etc.? I have not found where the code asks for these.

Can RC gear and XBee use 2.4Ghz both?
I've read the APM manual
"If you have 2.4Ghz RC gear, you should use 900Mhz Xbee modules."

but I send an e-mail to my teacher
