Okay, so as I was trying to figure out what was wrong with my throttle, I swapped the radio system out to the stock Traxxas receiver. I use a 4 channel remote from a Summit and modified the thumb switch to 3 positions so I could use a ground radio to

I just loaded up 2.4 in my APM 2.5+ and went through the calibration process and set the throttle parameters and am experiencing unexpected behavior for the throttle. When in manual mode, steering works as expected, albeit courser resolution, but thr

So, the weather finally cooperated for the first time in a long time so I took my small delta wing out to see what I needed to do to get it ready to fly in Auto mode.
