I have a octo and managed to get it out for a few flights today in between the damn rain!

I am new to PID tuning, and have very little experiance. Can anyone point me in the direction to a good (not too complicated) guide on PID tuning? Heres my story....

My first build with APM 2.5 was great. All default PIDS and it flew absolutely flawlessly. There were a few issues with the baro etc which took a bit of playing with to get right, eventually all worked PERFECTLY.

Regretfully, i sold this build. I now have a droidworx AD-8 and have put another APM 2.5 on, only this one is SUPER unstable. Ive tried both 2.9.1b and 3.0.1 and it is not at all stable nor does it hold its alt.

Is this PID tuning and why is the default PIDs so off?

Ive just been trying for so long now to get some decent footage like that i see on youtube but i can never get my builds working since my first.

Im kind of thinking towards a QAV400 or QAV500 with Naza M but i prefer the APM over the Naza as its WAY more flexible and feature rich!

Thanks!
