In this video we update the APM Firmware for the Ardupilot Mega 2.6 / HobbyKing HKPilot 2.7 then we connect the GPS Compass module and do a Compass Calibration. After connecting the GPS Compass module I found out that the External Compass Jumper has to be removed for the external compass to work. See Modified Wiring Diagram link below.
Next we Setup the 3DR Power Module and Configure Battery Monitoring for Voltage and Current readings on the MinimOSD.
We also do the Accelerometer Calibration, Calibrate Auto Level and then do the RC Radio Calibration. We finish by connecting and enabling the Airspeed Sensor.
At the end I give a brief update on my two left wings issue.

IF blue light C is off then GPS is not working or not attached.
LED: Behavior:
Power On when powered
**A (red)** Solid = armed, motors will spin when throttle raisedSingle Blink = disarmed, motors will not spinDouble Blink = disarmed, motors will not spin, cannot arm because of failure in pre-arm checks
**B (yellow)** Only flashes along with A and B during calibration or as part of the in-flight auto trim feature
**C (blue)** Solid = GPS working, 3D lockBlinking = GPS working, no LockOFF = GPS not attached or not working
PPM/Serial Flashing when data detected
