Hi,
I had a crash, I flew my quad and tried going in to RTL, the quad flipped and crashed, when I replayed the flight in MP I saw a "GPS health" warning, just before going into RTL.
When I came home I connected the APM to the MP (using a 3DR radio), I

In arducopter I am used that arming is done by moving the rudder stickk to the left for a few seconds.
I am using arduplane now on a delta wing, the rudder is not even connected... How do you arm it?
I didnt see it mentioned anywhere in the manual.

I ruined the I2C connector on my APM 2.5 board (and the solder pads where it should connect to the board), And I still want to connect an external magnetometer.
Is it possible? are there any other pins I can solder wires to the external mag?

In the manual it says that when RTL is switched on, the copter will climb to a minimum altitude 15m.
Is 15m absolute, or is it relative to the home position where the copter was armed?
Thanks.

I have a futaba 7C transmitter.
Is it possible to program all 6 flight modes using two switches (2 state switch + 3 state switch) on this transmitter?
Thanks.
Are there any plans to add the capability of modifying the waypoints/flight path while the plane is airborne using ardupilot?
Thanks.
Are the ardupilot and Arducopter the same boards? can they use the same IMU and main boards?
Is the only difference between the two is the code?
Or are they different in the hardware (I saw there were some versions of the ardupilot and it seems that th

meaning - if the wing is tilted by x degrees from horizontal flight, how does the board know how
