Does your quad have a u-Blox for GPS?

Now that 2.7.2 is available I have read some reports on ALT HOLD and LOITER that indicate some issues in stability. Do you recommend I download and use 2.7.2 on my Flame Wheel Quad (850 motors, 20 amp ESCs and 10" props) and my DIY Drones QUAD with same motors, ESCs and Props?
Thank you
Allen

Hi Allen, i fly this beta this morning (local time) and i give you my impression, and the same to the dev list.

I've agreed with you many times in the DJI vs Arducopter debate buddy but asking for exact PIDs is expecting a bit much!! Fly it, tune it, or stay DJI my friend. Marco probably wont be offering a door to door tuning service either :) if it doesn't fly to your taste, it's allllll on the wiki :)
Best,
C

LOL! :-)
When the 2.7.2 go out i put here my setting. There's a discussion on the dev list for reduce some default parameters, like Stab_P and Rate_D, but there's no rule, AC need perfect tuning for all the different configuration.

Didn't mean to be a bother. Just didn't have access via WIKI for 2.7.2.
Good and safe flying.
Allen

very nice just watched it :-)
Is it normal now on auto land for the quad to bounce several times before stopping??
