I think my (official) XBee needs unbricking. The green light does not come on, so I'm going to take the steps described in the manual, but I just need some confirmation before I completely wreck my h/w:
I've downloaded and AMP Planner 1.0.55, but I still have zero for my mix values? The GPS altitude is correct, but the mix is zero all the way through?

Hi All
I had a great flight this morning, waypoints checked accurately and XBee performing flawless ~ 300m distance.
However, coming home I wanted to check the KMZ file, but it had no altitude info? Just lat & long.
Any ideas? Herewith an extract:

With my expected Skywalker I should be able to get around an hour's flight, so I can cruise the entire length and breadth of a farm. However, it will be way out of sight and range of an XBee.
My worry is what if it does not come back - I need to go f

Sorry me again...
I've just installed my XBees but I'm unable to connect form the APM. I confirmed the COM number. I'm not sure about the baud rate though - (over USB I connect on

My new DX7 allows me 2 more channels theoretically, but I'm stumped as to how to implement it for changin

I just want to say I had the best flying experience earlier. Waypoints / Auto worked like a charm!
See my attached flight logs. Unfortunately no video this time, I had limited time.
The platform is a Radian Pro.

I had a very successful test on Saturday with Return to Launch and Stabilise modes, but on Sunday, when I tried some waypoints, my craft just dipped with a slight bank, so we had to switch back to manual. I've tried twice, with no sign that it

How do you guys normally figure out the distance between waypoints as well as the total distance of the mission?

I've finished building installing my APM into my glider. Unfortunately I could not find a way to relocate the ESC easily, now the APM is tied down on a bunch of cables on top of the ESC, right next to the motor.
Will there be interference? If

Been reading in the background quite a bit, I'm trying to get started but I have a problem finding a Dynam HawkSky locally ( South Africa ).
It looks like a Radian Pro can work, I've seen some vids.
Would this be an ok starting point? Would I b
