Does anyone have some ballpark figures you suggest for my quad?
I am using:
- An xaircraft diy x450 frame
- 25A ESCs
- 1020KV motors
- 10*4.5 props
- 5000 mAh 3s 50C battery
My frame weighs around 1.5kg i think, but I have yet to weigh it.
Stabilise seems pretty good, but it wanders quite a lot in loiter.

Your configuration is similar to mine. I locked loiter with mine. I posted the sk-450 param file.
It might be a decent starting point.

Ok, I have saved my slightly altered settings and loaded yours in. I will give it a fly after work tomorrow.

Didn't get a chance the other day, but my LiPo is charging right now and I am gonna test it once it's done.

Loaded in your settings, but the throttle trims must be out, as the ESCs are reporting high throttle on startup. I have reverted back to my settings and I think I will just tweak them once my 3DR serial link arrives.
