The one difference between the APM 2.0 and APM 2.5 that really bugs me is the "New Wireless Telemetry Port." The APM 2.0 had more robust headers while the APM 2.5 uses the fragile Molex. Or is it the Hirose DF13 series connector?

K3 weather forecast. Lowest wind velocity heads north, highest velocity poses strong headwinds.

Winds over K3. Hindcast, a careful examination of past weather, can gives us a clue of slope stability, likely wind slab, or hoar formation. What's a hoar and how are they formed?
