Mission Planner 1.2.63 and Arducopter 3.0.1 is flying mission fine until I add a waypoint to Loiter with 3 turns.
Some mission WPs with delays etc.. all work then goto WP 4
WP 4 just a normal way point altitude 100 feet
Loiter with Turns set turns to 3
RTL
The first time I did this mission it went to WP 4 then landed at WP 4.
Remove the Loiter with 3 turns - Mission completed as expected with RTL at default alt.
Then I investigated the original mission.
OK, so I forgot to set the Altitude for the Loiter with 3 turns WP
I set the altitude for that entry to 100 feet.
Flew Mission again. Copter landed at the WP 4.
The copter is arriving at WP 4 with the correct altitude but just continues to descend
Can anyone tell me what I am doing wrong or is this a bug Thanks

I have been having that weired behaviour too using the loiter_turns.
This is a bug in the firmware and it is actually mentioned on Randy mackay 3.01 release notes.
it is warning number 4

so i guess it is just a matter of time for it to be fixed on 3.02
It sounds similar to a previous bug in that the command had to followed by a waypoint or it was ignored.
I guess through this experience it has become habit to use a final waypoint/land combination instead of RTL.
Would be interested to hear if that combination works in this instance.
