Hi Jean-Louis, where can I get Ardupilot Legacy v2.8.x?

Hello Graham,
You will find all the infos about the ArduPilot (not Mega) at: http://code.google.com/p/ardupilot/
And the ArduPilot Legacy (official) code (without my personnal mods) at: http://code.google.com/p/ardupilot/
Regards, Jean-Louis

Actually, I'm keen on your personal mods :) , as nothing's been done to the official code for ages. I've played with that code quite a bit too but would be very interested to see what you've done. I still have one plane that is flying pretty well on the old ArduPilot and I hate to retire stuff like that
