How does GPS Hold work?

Hello,

I didn't receive my Arducopter parts yet, so maybe I am asking something selfexplaining.

 

I started with a mikrokopter, where PH (position hold) means the copter would try to stay wherever I want to, but I still could conrol hights (or switch on the hight control) or fly around and instantly after letting go of the right sticks (mode2) the copter would "break" and hold it's new position.

 

This made flying a lot easier and saver for me.

 

Does the Arducopter behave the same way? The wiki does only help so much with information.

    ArduCopter is not yet so advanced as MK. ArduCopter project is still rather young project but even tho it has a lot of important milestones. This type behavior that described will come eventually. Maybe even on next release.

     

    Currently official AC only supports position hold that is activated with switch and while hold is active you can go up and down with a throttle. Other features that you asked is under work and they all are on software roadmap.
