Sorry if i'm out of line for starting this discussion. (it's not as though Kevin isn't busy enough)
Here's somewhere you can post ideas for Andropilot.
I'll start off with a simple one.
As screen space is at a premium, do you think it is worth dividing Andropilot at a welcome screen into 2 different styles of interface? i.e. Fixed wing interface / Multicopter interface.
This would make drop down menus more specific and mean for less scrolling looking for the correct modes/settings/parameters etc.
An example is the fact there's no need for follow me with a fixed wing and no need for loiter (with a radius) for a copter...
Just a thought.

Hello all,
FOLLOW ME mode request
Just was thinking after someone asked me if I was able to set a distance that the quad would keep away from gps'd target...
Could a setting/parameter setting be added to set the number of <2 second> gps updated waypoints -or- amount of time delay for the quad to stay behind on the FOLLOW ME trail?
This would be awesome if this could be implemented !!!
A bluetooth serial comm option would be nice. I have a BT adapter interfaced to my 3DR radio to broadcast BT serial data. Works like a charm on the other Copter-GCS android program.
If we had BT we could put the 3DR radio and BT adapter at an antenna with a battery. Then we won't have the 3DR dongle hanging out of our usb port on the android. Of course the android device needs BT built in.

No problem. I think a thread like this to collect ideas is great.
