APM Control Surface Tests

Hooray, got all the control surface issues figured out.  Here's a video of how things should look, and a few pointers.

• In manual mode, do any reversing necessary on the radio.  APM just passes the signal through in this mode, so reversing via the software won't do anything.
• Be sure you're not backwards on how ailerons move. See this page for full details.
• Test in three modes: manual, stabilized, and fly-by-wire A.
• In stabilized and FBWA, rudder will be mixed in with the ailerons.  Be sure pushing the aileron stick left produces left rudder.

Tomorrow, prayer breakfast and then flight!

My Servo Testbed

While fiddling around with the Ardupilot Mega it was handy to plug in servos to see if everything was behaving as expected.  Having a big bundle of loose servos wiggling around made it troublesome to see exactly which one(s) were moving. I hotglued some to a base, making it easier to see what servos were moving, and how much.
