Suggestion: Motor Test/Setup Screen
Just a friendly suggestion
I really like the Motor Test screen in clean flight
I can test my motors individually, all at once, check motor directions and calibrate my esc.
It's a great tool.

I have flown APM since 2012 in my Quads/Hexs
I want to get a flying wing that I can use the Pixhawk with.
I want it to be able to take off in a park sized field, fly way points and auto land. (basic recon)
I assume we are at that point with arduplane b

Unless I'm mistaken I feel that diydrones would rather all flights use a Tx, but are we not very close to a point where we can to put an end of the Tx for drone multirotors as the primary flying device. After all this is 'diydrones' not 'diyrc' and

Is there a way to tell if Tx loss signal initiated my RTL
