"Hi Guys. I've also got the same issue still with 2.9 release and have adjusted the center roll position the way Brian has mentioned. If anyone knows if there is a real fix for this yet can you let us know.  Thanks."

"there is a param called wp speed. It's in cm/s and is defaulted at 500 (5m/s) You can lower that to 2 or 3. Takeoff altitude can be set in the mission command. Just put a 10 in the column and you're set. Jason"

"From looking at the 2,7 release thread, I think the gimbal parameters have changed to accommodate yaw stab - also there are new params w.r.t software limitation of servo travel. Maybe you should scan through that thread?"
