I just finished upgrading my quad to the ADM 2.5 and all was working great yesterday as I assembled and tested the system. I tuned it up today and went to fly it. Stabilize worked great but when I switched to loiter, it held position within a 10' x 10' box but begins to decend, all the way to the ground and even when makig contact with the ground it continues to throttle back. I took a look at the screen and it shows a huge negative altitude - 704554496.00 ft. and doesn't change when walking up and down a hill. I found others have had a similar issue and I routed out a small portion of the pink foam covering the baro sensor with no luck. Others have reloaded the firmware and it corrects problem but I tried with no luck. Anyone with an idea as to what is going on?
Thanks,

Outstanding!
I am glad to see the Wiki providing some postive feedback and a problem resolved.
Folk are too easy to bash it when it costs others time and effort.
Fly on!

Found the answer. Blame it on the midnight testing.

Have you looked at the *tlog?
That will give complete picture of flight operations and function parameters.
You could post it here and submit it for peer review and comment.
