HiJust got my easystar flying on its own and I am very impressed with its abilities with very little tweaking. The main problem is where I live it is very windy and as Chris has mentioned in a blog, when travelling up wind the easy slows to a crawl (ground speed) and confuses the nav. It always finally makes it to the up wind way point, be it with a few unplanned diversions.I am aware that this is a problem inherent to this airframe but was wondering anyone can suggest a way to increase airspeed. Could I reposition the xy sensor so the bird flies with a slightly nose down orientation or has anyone used the pitot data to control the throttle?Thanks
