I need a little tuning help.. If someone else is using a Arducopter Quad pretty much stock, with using the BETA 3.0RC5 with good results, I'd like to see your PID settings.
I recently flashed the 3.0rc5 on my apm 2.5 in an arducopter quad that is pretty much stock, other than maybe a little heavier than some, having a 3s, 5000 MAH pack.
What is happening is that it is stable in stable mode and works well in loiter until I want to descend. when descending , it wobbles violently. I am used to the fact that any quad I've had seems to wobbles when descending straight down in the prop wash, not so much in forward flight but this is different. I absolutely can't descend without excessive wobble even when in forward flight.
When I first loaded 3.RC5, I had a lot of wobble in loiter. I noticed that my Loiter Speed P values was at 5.000. I saw someone else's set to 1.000 so I tried it, I reduced it to 1.000 and it loiters nicely now. IT just doesn't descend without lots of wobbling.
Here is a screen capture of my settings: Also, the tlog from a short test flight is below the image
