Normal ground test behavior?

Greetings,I'm running the latest beta code, and everything seem to be working on the mock-up, so I installed it in the Twinstar. The only thing that bothers me a bit is the high throttle, and down elevator that you get when turning one the nav function during testing.High throttle and down elevator would be the instinctive reaction of any pilot, since the airspeed sensor, and GPS both confirm zero airspeed, so I can easily believe this is normal when testing on the ground. I'd feel better if someone with a working ArduPilot verify that this is normal during a ground test?Thanks,Rusty

    13brv3,

    Chris has recommended that you retain manual control of the throttle until you are sure about the stabilization/navigation process using the Ardupilot.

    By the way, I have two TwinStars each with a different set of outrunner motors. Can you attach a picture of your Ardupilot/air plane setup?

    Regards,
