"It will only write to disc if you log data or if you download Google map tiles. It will store the current settings on application shutdown, but only a few bytes and nothing that will be visible in any way in your flash drive wear."

"Would be also interested in knowing - since QGC implements all commands, it definitely works - it might just be a bad mapping between the APM 2.0 beta and the current QGC buttons."
