Loiter question

Hi all,

 Haven't  been here for a long while, so I have not had mush of a chance to see what is new.

using my Quad (and AMP2 / ublox) , I want to try flying manually for a change. Is there a way I can fly the quad, and as soon as I let go of the controls it will loiter in that position and altitude? rather than keep flying in the direction of travel. Basically so it stays in one position until I move it , then it stops and loiters in that new position/altitude without flicking the tx switch over every time I want to stop ? or does Loiter do this anyway ?. When I tested it yesterday (very stable I must add) it flew back to the original loiter position..

    You can fly in loiter, it's slower than normal but when the sticks are released the position at that instant should be held, it should not fly back to the original position. It doesn't feel totally natural as there's some tendency for the copter to oppose movement.

    It would however be nice to have the copter ONLY loiter when the sticks are released, at all other times flying free.
