"Still haven't found a real solution. One option is to log the raw pressure values and then convert it to height. This gives the 100% barometer height and not the one combined with the accelerometers and appears to be more accurate. But this means…"
"If I recall correctly my problem was with the select() function used in the Python code of MAVProxy. According to the documentation for the select() function, it only works for sockets on Windows, which unfortunately I am running. On Linux it works…"

"No, we used a couple of different brands but if I remember correctly we now use the flyfun ESC.
Some other tips:

"We have done just that about 2 weeks ago. Removed the over priced and faulty A2 and replaced it with a Pixhawk. I doubt that you would be able to use the DJI compass/GPS or IMU unit. Although they also use a ublox GPS module they use their own…"
HiI have recently installed MAVProxy and played with it a little. Upon running I get the following:Failed to load module: No module named wp... (and some other modules, rally,fence and terrain) but read in a post here that its because I did not…
Have you made any progress with this? I am trying a similar thing but with the OEMV-1G from NovAtel.Will start as soon as my GPS arrives. Will also share my progress."
