its a pitch ladder indicating angle of the plane

the new AHI ROCKS!! it's simply amazing.
New lines are "tags" to certain angle levels (10, 20, 30 ..etc) like the real one, beautiful

Hello all quick question. I have a 4s going through the current sensor and a 3s powering the video gear. On the jumper settings do i put the main battery on disable?

yep

Today I made few FPV flight with RVOSD5 to test the auto pilot ... and here came the problem ...

Flying at an altitude of 120 meters ... Turn on LEVEL FLIGHT and the plane keeps the altitude but unfortunately not maintain the direction ... if I leave this auto-pilot mode active the plane starts to turn left or right.

At this point I check vibration control and I realize that I have more vibration in the air than on the ground... vibrations reach full scale. Unfortunately the board of the RV is closed in a very tight in my Zephyr ...

At this point the malfunction of LEVEL FLIGHT is caused by excessive vibration?

It says in the manual that your not suppose to let the vibration bar ,z axis,
get to the top bar on any throttle setting. Do you have any anti vibration foam? Try mounting the osd onto your plane using that, or you can buy the vibration mount rangevideo sells.

Has any one heard word on the cruise speed feature. I was looking through the manual and saw that it was a future development thing.

I have a home made anty vibration foam. The motor is balanced but I think that the very problem is that RVOSD5 due to the small space is in contact with cables and curent sensor.. Therefore it's not isolated.

I have every single unit on my plane mounted on anti vibration foam. That way you dont vibration from other units from the wires.

Right. At this point I can only make few changes...

The vibration bar is over sensitive, this helps with working out vibrations. So if you can achieve to keep the vibration bars indicators under the maximum at all throttle levels while testing on the ground, then you can be sure the IMU will work. In flight you will see the bars reaching higher levels because the other inertial forces acting on the plane.
On level flight mode the model should stay within +-10° on both pitch and roll. Thus it will not keep heading, neither altitude on the long term.
This is why there is another stabilization mode called Heading hold, I suggest you to try that .

The problem is that heading change on the short term. After 6 seconds that I activate LEVEL FLIGHT the plane turn right or left decisively and with more of 10°. And the aircraft would perform circles in a short area. I can say that the flight level not working...
You do not believe that the vibrations can be the problem ?

Hard to say without a video. If Level flight mode does align the plane with the artificial horizon indicator(AHI) on the screen, then you have everything properly configured and the problem is the vibrations.
If the AHI follows the real horizon within +-10° and level flight does not align the model with the horizon, then there is something wrong with the configuration.

How can i program waypoints on a computer?

I think that the problem is the first. Tomorrow I think to load a short video...
