Loiter works great, alt hold works great.
The drift however is a KILLER!
I plug everything in, arm the motors and all is well, but over time (around 20-30s) I slowly have to start giving more and more stick input to keep it in one place. Until eventually my sticks are maxed out to keep the copter in one place. I then have to land.
I have tried running the level command as well as the in-flight leveling.
The inflight leveling actually makes things worse.
The only thing that fixes the drift temporarily is resetting the board.
Any ideas?

Jason,
I posted several logs in http://diydrones.com/forum/topics/help-big-problem-with-my-hexa?id=... as you also requested in that topic. Last of the log was in one place where I flew till it started drifting. If you need more pls let me know.
Apreciate you help al lot. Tnx.
Do you have a flash log you can post?
I need attitude_fast, CTUN, and raw enabled.
If you can fly in one spot until you get a drift I would appreciate it.
if you want to try an experiment, there is this line in system.pde:
dcm._clamp = 5;
try and make it
dcm._clamp = 12;

I also have this issue with the new apm2, serveral other users are also reporting this problem. We already made a thread about this http://diydrones.com/forum/topics/help-big-problem-with-my-hexa?id=... but we are getting totaly ingnored. That is what you get from diy drones by supporting there new hardware. I even mentioned this problem in the apm2 blog. But no reaction nothing. They promis us PID settings for over 2 weeks now. I loved this community with apm1 last 4 months I have spend every free hour on this project.But now I am verry disapointed in diy drones And before ranting starts. No I don't blame the dev team in any way i love there great work and they make it all happen for us.
