HI- Ive been having a blast with my new quad but:
Question 1: there seems to have a tendancy to lose altitude when any yaw is introduced. Granted, it's not extreme, but I had expected it to maintain altitude more exactly than it does. Is this a normal behaviour or one that can at least be addressed with some tuning, and if so, what values would one adjust to achieve it?
Question 2: Should I add a sonar unit for greater accuracy? Most of this type of flying is under <30m, which as I understand it, is the floor for the barometric accuracy while the sonar is accurate to ~10cm whiile under ~ 30m?
Please tell me if these assumptions are incorrect or my expectations too great.
Thanks in advance,
Bart

No such luck. Ive actually been rebuilding mine from the ground up with different escs and see if that doesn't help resolve a few problems with sync holding in the stock units flashed w simonk. Ill update you if that has helped resolve most of my issues.
I am having a similar issue with the both my Quad and Hex (APM2.5 with latest firmware)
As soon as I apply any Yaw it will lose altitude.
Did you fix the issue? If so How?
Sonar only works with Alt Hold and loiter as far as I know.. (I have sonar on the Hex)
I should also add, that this is a consistant thing, not just thick-thumbing the throttle( errr entirely)
