I'm still not sure about this, but I did  download the code for 2.7.1, and figured out about the throttle_cruise variable.

This should be set when the copter is hovering, and it automatically sets it when you switch from stabilize to other modes, for instance auto (under certain conditions).

Mine was being set too low, because I was barely spinning the propellers, then hit the auto button, and used the auto TakeOff command to get it to rise in the air.

Now my procedure is give it LOTS of throttle, as it's rising, hit auto.  Then the throttle_cruise is set higher.  

Well, I think I'm right anyway....

Hey, this helps in the landing too, it doesn't drop like a rock at the end!
