Considering the airframe is an EasyStar, I encountered fairly strong/gusty winds, estimate 10-15kts.

Mission consisted of 13 waypoints with diffe

Hi,

Once again thank you HK!

 

Trying out the 2.01 APM with HK GCS v1.2.43

I am probably missing something or possibly this is not working due to the APM being BETA.

The GCS is only displaying the voltage of one cell. 4.13v

The proper voltage(s) are displa
