ArduPilot Mega 2 (APM 2) on 450

[R_Lefebvre]

Wesley, you should check out the code again when 2.9 comes out. I've made some massive improvements if you haven't noticed. I've got rate control working, and greatly improved the vibration tollerance.

I've already took my APM2 apart to try out the NAZA-H GPS just last night. I bought the APM2.5 though. So eventually I'll put it on another 450, but this time, I'll get it under the main body and have all the sensors, such as GPS and stuff, going towards the tail area.

Sort of like how I built this?

Yea, something like that. But it's gonna be awhile though. The Skookum GPS is coming out soon. More stuff to test and play.

Question for the Arducopter dev/users. On the Arducopter wiki, the screen capture looks like the system only supports CCPM copters. I want to try it with a Bergen, but they are 1-servo mode, that is, 1 servo for collective, one for elevator and one for roll. Does Arducopter support that?

It should be able to fly with 1-servo mode. I developed that bit, it's been a while, but IIRC, you set H_Swash_Mode to 1. I did that at the request of somebody with an old Raptor or something, but I'm not sure it was ever flown. Still, it was a fairly simple change, so should be no problems.

If you go ahead, contact me and I'd like to walk you through it.
