  I had spend couple of months, rather about two years on this legacy board but could not make a single flight of my plane. After crashing the plane I was so disheart that I left the activity for two years. Then I started flying quad copter. This year I bought an APM 2.5 with a GPS and right from my first flight with APM on quad copter I haven't found any issue in it. The different Modes in it, specially the Auto mode is amazing and I am so happy with it. Now I have bought another APM to try on plane.

  The you mean the "shield" that was mentioned in the original post? If so, I'm afraid I don't even have one myself. That was a long time ago!

  Does anyone have or know of the whereabouts of an interface/adapter mentioned by Chris,above, for the Ublox Lea-5h GPS?
  
  I have been looking to buy one, new or used, for a long while without any luck, hence this cry into the wild.
  
  Thanks,

  I don't know why I still fool with this but I do. I'm running FreeIMU, outputting DIYd binary on a Flip1.5 instead of the ArduIMU. I added a I2C daughter board that sends the Ublox protocol to the Flip. It took me a while to figure out the binary enough to get the ArduIMU Test to read it. If that program will read it, then the Ardupilot will.
  
  The only benefit is a $15.00 IMU, $5.00 I2C daughter board vs. $75.00 ArduIMU. That would bring the combination IMU/Autopilot to about $60.00 with GPS. The other benefit is I get to learn a few things.
  
  It'd be nice to squeeze all the Ardupilot stuff onto the $15.00 Flip. That would take some rework and combining with Multiwii code. The Ardupilot does a good job of handling modes and navigation, but the multiwii does a good job of combining IMU with reading radio. Somewhere in there is a decent little autopilot.

  6050?  I see an ArduSomethin attached to an I2C IMU. 

  I made progress and added GPS to Martin's code and I've got it sending GPS and attitude to the Ardupilot in binary.  Ardupilot even shows a solid blue light now and is smoother with GPS added.

  Martin Crown deserves a huge thanks for publishing his code. 

  Some of the stuff I was trying might work with his code.

  I've flown my Legacy and IMU once this summer.  There's a thread about using DMP on the IMU which has me playing with it again.  I managed to get the IMU talking to the Ardupilot and stabilizing using the awesome DMP.  I also have it outputting to the ArduIMU Test program @38400 nicely.  The DMP reduces the program size to about 1/2 the original size.

  Me too.

  Me too Charles, borrowing the APM though.  Computer keeps crashing and burning which is slowing me up a lot.

  APM, that's probably really the best route to go multirotor. 

  Charles, your recommendation for the crius Ublox GPS was a good one.  That sucker runs good.  I need a good enclosure for it though.  I dont like having bare circuitry hangin in the breeze.  I saw someone stuck one in a tic tac package.
