"Would be happy to get rid of my Windows VM ! Thanks"
"OK, thanks a lot. Next step is to try the system.
We have an old Fly Bar KDS-450 to start with.
I plan to setup the controller sideways (got the information on how to configure that in another thread). But for sure I will not have an external…"

Hello,Wiki (http://copter.ardupilot.com/wiki/traditional-helicopter-tuning/) states acro mode is implemented in earth-frame referential. Is this still the case in 3.2 version ? If yes, it would be impossible to fly in 3D mode, wouldn't it ?Thanks
"Thanks Xin. I started MP 1.3 .15 in a WinXP VM and could access to the Heli Setup menu. In fact most of the screens look like the APMPlanner 2.0."
Hello,Being on ArchLinux, I had to compile APM Planner 2.0. Regarding traditional heli configuration, the wiki refers only to Windows Mission Planner. I cannot find the equivalent "heli setup" screen in APM Planner.Am I stuck with Linux ?Thanks
"I would like to re-assign RC-channels.
It seems RC_Channel.ccp does not expose the channel number to the GUI and that they are hard coded in Parameters.h.
Could someone confirm that RC channel assignment cannot be changed without modifying the…"

"Thanks. So put like that, setting Heli type in the radio will not work with the default settings. Can channels be re-assigned without recompiling the firmware, I can see there are rc_X parameters ?"
"OK, but still it does not match the above channel assignments...
H-1 swash type disables swash mixing from the radio."

"Thanks a lot for the info. I was afraid some sensors were required to be in a defined orientation."
"David, your post confuses me again. Are we talking output or input channels ?
Regarding Futaba input:
CH1: Aileron (roll)
CH2: Elevator (aka pitch)
CH3: Throttle (head spead)
CH4: Rudder
CH5: Gyro gain (flight mode)
CH6: Pitch (collective)
On my…"

Hello,I saw (can't remember where) somebody mounting the board on the chassis frame sideways (viz. z and y axis permuted).Is that setup OK and what are the implications in software configuration ?Thanks
"Hello David,
Thanks for the suggestion. I had not read the wiki. Now I book-marked it !
Confusion in the mentioned files comes from PITCH which is in fact ELEVATOR for helis.
What is still missing is the CH6: PITCH (collective) assignment. Channel 6…"

Hello,Trying to figure out the channel assignments, I found libraries/AP_RCMapper/AP_RCMapper.cpp, which seems to assign the ROLL (aileron I assume), PITCH, THROTTLE, YAW channels.Where is the Elevator channel defined ?In ArduCopter.pde a comment…
"I was referring to the forum categories. Thought helicopter mode was 2.X version only. May be the category ought to be renamed to "ArduCopter (traditional heli)" to avoid the confusion."
"Hello,
Which sensors are active ? Have you tried without GPS sensor ?"

"OK thanks a lot. I will go to ARM board."
