I am using MP 1.3.38 and in the Auto WP / Survey / Grid Options there are various settings for:
1. Overshoot[m] (this appears twice) and LeadIn[m] - I would appreciate an explanation of how these work when planning my missions.
2. Copter Options - Hea

2. In 'Grid' , and 'Simple' tab, there is a checkbox for 'Camera top facing forward'. Is this t

I am curious to know how RTH works in the APM Rover system? Specifically, if RTH is engaged does the rover try to drive directly back to 'Home'? Or does it return by reversing its original course up to that point in time?
It seems that

Good morning,
I would like to know how to create my AutoWP / Gridv2 with the flight pattern going east to west? Or some other method of creating an east/west grid flight. I am using MP 1.3.30
Right now I am creating and flying Gridv2 waypoint routes,

When trying to build a waypoint mission in Colorado (plane is not connected), I add a single waypoint.
My goal after that first waypoint is to add a Loiter command and have it go 4 turns around that waypoint.

I was curious to hear from pilots with comparison experience using ArduPlane as an autopilot, vs. other autopilots? I just built an ArduQuad copter and have it flying. Not far but after crashing it a few times I'm getting the hang of it ;-) . N

I have an ArduQuad, but I am interested in next building a Hexa for FPV and have been using Ecalc for modelling. I live in CO, high altitude and have found that via Ecalc, props sized in 13" and 14" return better performances (longer flight). S

Recently found this forum after developing an interest in building a Multi-rotor DIY UAVs. I would like to ask a few questions.
I am interested in building an ArduPilotMega-brained Multi-copter (hexa or Octo) that can do the following:

I understand that SIMPLE MODE requires you to face in the same direction for the duration of the flight.

Warnings :
When using SIMPLE Mode, you must stay (the pilot) in the same orientation. If you turn 90°,
