    @dusl,

    First off, you need to tell us how you have your escapes wired to the APM.

    You should be using channels 1 and 3 out of the APM if you are using the APM in the skid steering mode. Otherwise you need an ESC that can do throttle and steering mixing just like an R/C car.

    Have you calibrated your ESCs to APM outputs in the manual mode using your R/C transmitter?

    Are the Min and Max PWM values for both channels the same?

    We tested the code on our simulator last night and it responded correctly to both throttle (elevator joystick) and steering (aileron joystick) inputs.
