  Thanks everyone for the support.

  Charles, I was using the good old original config for the AP(l) with Thermopiles.  They work well, just limited to days with good thermo differences ground/sky.  I have a APM but w/out any oilpan or sensors.  Been saving for an ArduRover.

  Harry, that's what I worry about when making my own adapters.  Burnt a monocle video display that way a long time ago...

  Anwar, what GHz stuff you got?

  The good news: For my RC gear, only the ESC is fried.  When I say fried, I mean FRIED.  I tested yesterday and let all the magic smoke out... on the plus side, I salvaged all the good wires off the ESC.

  The bad news: so far it looks like my AP(l) might be bad too... More testing to follow as well as a few pics.

  Brian, Harry, sorry about the mishap.

  I discovered one thing that my MHz receiver gives flying time about thrice more than my GHz receiver for the same plane.

  he tells me that the same config as in the tutorial will work using the ublox for that version of the ublox too

  i'm going to grab one too ,im just waiting on some coin :D

  i got carried away ordering other stuff for my groundstation build

  I see that Charles.  I have to wonder if there is something that's going to make it hard to use.  Will the Ublox configuration file for the ArdupilotMega work with the IMU or the Ardupilot(legacy)?

  Harry this module was recommended to me by a friend of mine who works for a living developing code for arduino based projects and he says its the best to replace the em406 as I also have to replace mine
