APM 2 6 Setup (Programming and Mounting)

As requested, in this video we show you how to not only program your APM 2.6, but also how to mount it on your multi-rotor (the S550 in this case). The APM is a great flight controller because it can be set up easily, supports many external sensors such as GPS, and is easy to get help on from online forums and youTube videos like this one! If you have any questions or comments, feel free to leave us a comment and we will get back to you as soon as possible. If you need any extra help check out Ardupilot.org's first-time setup page here:
