  I don't have experience with that specific TX, but you need to get control surfaces to work properly in manual mode first. This is so you can always safely take over. Once you get that working, it is a matter of configuring APM for elevons (assuming you want your ZII to use elevons).

  Does anyone know how to setup a wing (zephyr ii) with apm1? I'm using a jr x9503 tx and not sure if I set it up for flaperons or delta or normal. I thought I need to have it setup right in the tx so I can fly in manual mode if necessary. I put one servo on first output of apm and second on output 2 and throttle on 3 but when I give up or down pitch. The servos don't move together. In stable mode it works right except the pitch is reversed. The wiki seems to be pretty weak n how to set this up.

  Does anyone know when camera stabilization will be built into Arduplane?

  @Bradley,

  Vibration is a killer, you will need to read up on proper vibration dampening.

  This is what we did...

  I would like to know some of the problems I would face using a NITRO engine instead of Electric.  I have nothing but nitro except a quadcopter.

  @Chris Anderson 

  I just went thru my copter and original notes I was working on and my impressions, it was my confusion but I assumed that  the tech support or the group that does the support for the copter is DIYDRONES.

  This is not entirely correct. But I should have been informed by the store, they kept sending me to here.

  I went over all the parts, and branding is a hodge-podge of sub-brands. 

  I think for a newcomer it is quite easy to get confused thinking that the DIYDRONES is the support blog for their purchases. 

  The  stores are silent, so they ride this wave.

  Awesome, thanks Chris. To my mind, that's all that matters. the rest is just detail ;)

  Jim: the hardware is 100% open source. The Eagle files are in the product listings.  But by "3DR creates the hardware", I mean "manufactures".

  @Dara, I sent you a note, please accept my friend request and we'll discuss further. I may have a solution to your problems that you'll find better than UofT students. ;)  I'm curious to fully understand your situation.
