Hi,
I just set up my APM board for a quad. I flew a few times already in stabilize mode and it seems working just fine. Today, I wanted to try the "Alt-Hold" mode.
I have read here a few times that the board has a tendency to shoot off when alt-hold is engaged. Knowing this, I wanted to test it. I raised the throttle (in Stabilize mode), till the craft gets to a hover. (I was holding the quad). I flipped the switched to "Alt-hold" and as I guessed, all 4 motors started running at full power till I flipped the switch back to stabilize mode.
I did it a few times with the same result:(
Currently I didn't do any PID tuning. I flew the quad for about 30 minutes total. It is holding the heading pretty well. Responses are good. It hovers almost at mid throttle. But alt-hold is scary!!!
What should I do? I cannot even try the Loiter if I can not fix this issue.
Thanks...
P.S. Did the "altitude" test in CLI window. Did not get any negative value...

I am having altitude issues. Are you running telemetry? Can you tell your altitude when in the air? Does it seem right? Maybe these issues are related!
Why is my thread still under "Unassigned" category?
Is it not clear that it should go to APM 2.x (Multicopter) section?
