"Thanks Johnex, That cleared things up with the flight modes- Im back to POSHOLD and POSITION is no longer available.

I am still unable to download logs in the CLI with Mission Planner 1.3.10.4 build 1.1.5399.10754. Can anyone else confirm this?"

"You should still be able to get one on shapeways. Or you can give the STL file to a local printer. I don't have a 3d printer."

Trevor Strand replied to Mihai's discussion LOITER and RTL crashing bug
"I don't know enough to say this is a global problem (plane / copter), but experienced plane users are experiencing LOITER related navigation issues that sound similar to the issues discussed here. The primary plane developers have either been busy…"

Trevor Strand replied to Mihai's discussion LOITER and RTL crashing bug
"I have noticed quite a bit of unexplained LOITER and RTL issues when i was trying to solve a plane 2.78  RTL / LOITER issue.
I have no idea if they are related to the bug you describe, but if it helps the developers, here are some unexplained events…"

"Gary, As for alignment it has been great and very repeatable. I used a Velcro strap that wrapped around the APM and bixler fuselage, and it was the most solid and repeatable mounting solution i have had.( that was without the clear plastic…"

"Great job! I'm sure the answer is obvious to the quad guys, but is this diagram specific to an H frame or X frame? Or did I not see that? I know this is 90% of the solution, but I hope to see a fixed wing version of this some day! Thanks for the…"

Trevor Strand posted a discussion in 3D Printing Drone Parts
Some other "Shapeways" orders displayed in this forum inspired me to design some of my own stuff. This Mount Tray was designed primarily to give me an idea of the quality from shapeway's printers and get an idea of the material properties. I have…
