We are trying to get a Hexacopter (Tarot X6 frame) with a Pixhawk Cube Orange+, Arducopter v4.5.1, Castle Creations DMR 30/40 ESCs and Tarot 5008 KV:340 motors, 18in CF props, in flight condition.
The only thing that is non-standard, is we have a 2 ½

In previous versions of Mission Planner the hexa plus configuration was available in the wizard. That option is no longer available so when I updated and re-calibrated my sensors it set my firmware to X configuration.
I have tried to change it t

So here is why I am doing this, I am doing a research project and
