Some interesting videos of my morning flights with the latest firmware and APM2.
Dont forget to watch the last video ;)
1st loiter
Arducopter, now with REAL chicken sound effects...
Loiter worked quite well considering the drift issue...
It only started to drift after a while.
Seems like the more stick input you give, the worse the drift gets.]
2nd loiter It went better, I tried to stay away from using too much stick.
1st alt hold. Went beautifully, as good as the sonar! Still the drift issue in stabilize.
low level alt hold
Pool noodles rock!
Karlas first attempt
I suppose I should fix the drift issue before I let my GF fly it...
Fortunately I was controlling the throttle and trying to film.
Funny as hell! It landed on the roof...
SUMMARY:
Loiter and Alt Hold work fine. But the drift issue makes it un-flyable!
The only thing that fixes the drift issue is resetting the board.
Then it works for 20-30s and then cant fly it anymore.
Running the level command and in-flight leveling doesnt do sh*t.

Comment by heikki.tukiainen on March 19, 2012 at 10:32am For me following things helped with drift. Drift happed for me with APM2 and version 2.4.
1) addeded foam to reduce vibrations
2) increased rate P in pitch and roll
3) version2.5
End result is that the board is very stable and no leaning. Please test at least the version 2.5.
