ArduPilot 4.7.1 remains the current stable maintenance line for many boards

ArduPilot's firmware service carries stable 4.7.1 builds dated 3 September across Copter and Plane targets, including newer and specialist boards.

A maintenance release is the sensible baseline for many custom aircraft that do not need development-branch features.

Back up parameters, verify your exact board target and read vehicle-specific notes before flashing. A stable label does not remove the need for bench checks and a conservative first flight.
