flight testing feedback

[tigar]

Hi all,

I don't know if there is a another place for  my flight test feedback, but there it is any way...
With  the latest code from svn , apm point the front arm, despite the dip1 switch, the quad it flies +.
Gps hold corrections are VERY aggressive. In previews code versions it was smooth.
Also alt hold a bit nervous. It used to be smoother.
Any other feedback from other users it would be great. It night help to find the best setup...

I found altitude hold did not work reliably. Sometimes when I switched
it on it would seem to hold altitude (rather imprecise) other times as
soon as I flicked the switch the quad would either ascend or descend
rapidly so I had to switch alt hold off again to recover control.

One issue, which I think must be altitude hold related, is that after
trying alt hold and then switching it off I had complete motor stop as
I manually climbed through about 10-12 metres (which is about where I
had tried Alt Hold) resulting in a crash to the ground. This happened
three times. Since then I have not been able to reproduce that
behaviour.

GPS hold is so imprecise with such aggressive control movements that
it is pretty much useless at the moment.

I have Mtek GPS with Sparkfun mag which has been calibrated etc.

We have the same issues, What code did you use?  Where did you download?  I am also with mtec and SF mag.

I have been running the ArduPiratesNG_1.0_Quad. Happened again to me
over the weekend. Seriously messed up my quad when it hit the deck.
This does not seem like a hardware issue. All motors just suddenly
stop and down she comes.
