I did build a quad 350 size and I would need some 'default' Arducopter PIDs for this 350 size (Phantom or QR X350) or similar. I have installed the latest FW for Arducopter.

I did receive a new APM2.5 with its new telemetry cable.
I did try to connect APM2.5 with MissionPlanner with telemetry (XRF or XBee modules), using the same setup I did have with APM2.0. It was working perfect with APM2.0.
But not more able to connect

I am wondering if you can hover a QuadX with APM2.0 in Stabilize mode, without GPS 3D fix and without magnetic declination? No sonar, just baro. Let's consider a hovering inside a building with metal walls and ceiling when GPS signal is not possible.
