Question on AUTO mission start with copter and with plane

Hi,

i have some questions to the AUTO missions with pixhawk wiht copter and plane.

copter:
usualy i upload my mission, arm, take off in stabilize than switch auto and wait until the copter does RTL and fine :slight_smile:
is it possible to start a auto mission just with a switch from the ground ?
for example pluing battery, upload mission, wait for gps… use the safty switch, switch to AUTO, then arm an the copter will take off automaticly?

question for plane:
i have a plane with V-tail. it works in auto and manual, but i cant arm with the stick command (something reversed?!).

i want to have the plane always armed, so i only have the safty switch for arming and can start right away? would that be possible?

thanks!
