I can disconnect Tower and connect with Droidplanner 2 and…"

"Well it looks like Michael is correct.
The same mission that I was having the tilt problems with works perfectly if I don't connect Tower.  I will try Droidplanner 2 later on today and report back.

"No reply button on the last message that you sent.

Thanks again for your time.
