"I don't want to be a killjoy, but in the UK we are limited to 400ft altitude, I assume you have similar laws. Flying FPV at your altitude is Dangerous and irresponsible. This sort of action will get FPV banned for all of us."

charlie Soppelsa replied to palo sestak's discussion Does anybody have sources for ACM 2.0.39b ?
"I tried 2.0.48, the yaw problem is fixed. After getting used to some handling changes and tweaking the PID's it works well, as good as 2.0.42 my last benchmark."
