APM parameter settings with Mission Planner

Some questions concerning APM parameters, perhaps already clarified here. In that case, please help me to find the answers.

1st parameter Angular Rate control: How much throttle is applied to rotate the copter at the desired speed. Adjust P by motor size. Small, Med and Large.

"Rotating the copter" = YAW??

RTL Altitude (ALT_HOLD_RTL): Units Meters/100
The default value is 15. 1500 m seems to be very high. On the other hand, 15 cm?

Units for maximum and minimum Throttle is percent. 1000 percent is the default value. Is it OK?

depending on which angular rate you are looking at, it could be roll,pitch or yaw.

RTL Alt in the planner is in meters, the units need to be fixed.
