APM 2.6

for external magnetometer

Providing the same advanced, multiplatform capabilities as APM 2.5, the 2.6 revision of the award-winning APM autopilot is designed for an external magnetometer. This improves flight performance by allowing the compass module (or combined GPS with compass) to be placed further away from sources of potential magnetic interference.
