Thanks you! I didn't know the wiki was updated, I should have looked before asking. Sorry! It's mostly all clear now, only one question. What does horizontal sensor tilted/aligned mean? Is it because of the position where the horizontal sensor is mounted, it may not be possible to mount it aligned with the aircraft? What is the optimal position to place the horizontal and vertical sensors?
Regarding the telemetry. I will first try using the serial protocol and a direct cable connection ( Computer USB->Serial on Tiny??? )? I have the maxstream modems too.

Information about the infrared configuration has recently been updated
in the wiki:
http://paparazzi.enac.fr/wiki/index.php/Airframe_Configuration#InfraredYou should find there some answers to your questions.
Your next step probably is to set the telemetry. You can use a cable
(USB/serial 3.3V converter) to start.
