Robert Valley replied to Randy's discussion ArduCopter 2.6 released!
"Hi,  I flew my first 2 missions with my Tricopter today and all went well. I can't believe how smoothly the setup and tuning is going. AC 2.6 really does the job.   If I use Loiter Turns in the MP does it simply rotate…"

"When I built the tricopter I looked hard at that but decided in the end to use a linkage so I would have some adjustment."

" Just thought that I would chime in. I have been following your code updates with interest. I am one of those comuter challanged people and need to wait for it included in the code to try it. Bob"

"I finally have my Tricopter set up and flying nicely. My yaw is pretty good except for a tiny slow wag at neutral. It’s only noticeable when hovering and looking directly at the tail. I’m going to try next week to get rid…"

"I was flying it around today and it seems fine. I tried a few full throttle punch outs as well and it went strait up. It is quite windy today and Acro is OK in the wind but level mode needs some tuning it was rocking some. I had 10 inch props…"

"I think auto trim is for the accels. It flies fine in stab mode with no trim. It is the gyro that is the problem. I tried trimming it in Acro with the TX and then recalibrating the radio. It saw the new position as neutral and I still had to…"
