I've built and tested the Jdrone arducopter 1.1 with the apm1, 880kv motors and 12x4.5 props X configuration. I'm completely new to the apm tuning. Was wondering if anyone has a set of PI and PID settings to make it at all stable in the air. If I was flying on of my pattern planes I would dual rate the transmitter to reduce the sensitivity. Is this recommended for the quadcopters? I'm using a Spektrum Dx8 radio. This is my first quadcopter other than an ARDrone. I have added the sonar but not the optical flow sensor as yet. there are no problems with the motors, prop direction or props upside down. It flys but it is way to sensitive. to control smoothly.
Any assistance here would be greatly appreciated John
