  Thanks' Keith.

  I guess the main aim is just to see if we can get all this technology to work together for data collection in our work which is costal sea defence, to create DEM's GeoTiffs to monitor salt marsh erosion,etc.. And of course it's bloody good fun.:)

  I have mounted the APM at 90 as it fits nicely and is easy to get to the usb plug if needed, also that is how it is mounted in Flight Riots excellent video. I have used a Canon s100 with CHDK It's a very good small camera and has GPS for easy Geo Ref.Here is an example of the images from the s100 captured from my MK quad. I'm hoping to capture a much bigger area with the penguin.

  Yes, started last week. just setting up the APM now. There was a bit of head scratching mounting the 2.5 at 90 degrees but I think I've got the settings right now. Pity I'm not closer, I'm down in Essex waiting for this storm.:).

  @Terry re inaccurate battery remaining %,

       Really it's about ensuring the current consumption is accurate which you can see in the mission planner's flight data screen's status tab...i think the field is current.  If you have a power analyzer it would be interesting to hear how accurate you find the current draw between the two.
