Arduplane 2.60 Channel 6 function problems

[GoogleCodeExporter]

I want to use Channel 6 in manual Mode (RC6_FUNCTION=1) but there seems to be 
an issue.

Set RC6_FUNCTION to 1 nothing happens
Set RC6_FUNCTION to 0 and then back to 1 still no function.
Set RC6_FUNCTION to 2 or 3 and then back to 1 it works until power off or reset 
of APM2

Arduplane 2.60 was installed over Mission Planner, and was reseted after flash.

I read about issue 718. I am a newbie but it could be the same cause as 718 ... 
RCX values are not stored in EEPROM.

I think I sould add further details:
Although the RC_Out value is changing when I give input from RC there is no 
servo movement. So someone must add a servo to simulate the issue.

This is also on Channel 7. Also it looks like it's only apm2.
On the APM2 if I load from the MP, 2.60 and do a setup. I set the RC7_FUNCTION 
to 1, I get NO output on the servo, however the MP shows output. If it is set 
to 3, you will get output on the servo. I then change it back to 1 for correct 
fuction. On a change of battery, same thing again. The RC7_FUNCTION is set to 
1, but no output on the servo.
Next I loaded the firmware on a APM1 and it works correctly? :<
it will hold the value and after a battery change will still work.

Ok it only affects APM2. But real strange is that CH 7 is working fine for me 
in manual mode (1).I have only the problem on CH 6.

The results from further tests:

I use CH 6 and CH 7 in manual mode (RCX_FUNCTION 1).

If I set Channel 7 to Flap_Auto (3), Channel 6 will work fine in manual.

But if I set CH 7 to Flap (2) CH 6 doesn´t work.

I can´t understand what is going wrong.

Could someone of the developers please comment this issue?

I think the error should be fixed with rev.  acc021c81993

I will do some tests in the evening
