Crossfire and Pixhawk: RC Control (S-Bus, MAVLink) and telemetry options

In this video I take a look at the options for using MAVlink to control members of the Pixhawk family of flight controllers.

You can opt to use good ol' S-Bus if you want but by using MAVlink and the MAVlink Bluetooth connection on the Crossfire (not the Crossfire Micro TX) you can have all the data shown easily on your Mission Planner or QGroundControl station too.

I've made this as I couldn't find any decent detail on this and this is how I want to use the setup on my S900 hexcopter.
