Hi all,
can somebody advice me PID values for my tricopter? It is build like this, 40cm arms.
I'm using standard APM 1.4 + OilpanV1+HMC5883, MTK16.
When in navi modes (RTL or AUTO) forward movement is too slow - around 0.5m/s. When weak wind blows against airframe movement, tri stays at place or even moves backward ;o(
I guess the stabilize or rate pitch has to be modified. Has anybody such configuration with good tuned PID params?

There are two params that matter most for you.
WP_SPEED_MAX is default at 450. That's 4.5m/s. That should be good. But if not you should up that. But only after you fool with this term: NAV_P
This term describes how much to tip the copter to achieve the desired rate of travel. Right now it's 2 which equals 2 * 250 or 5° of tilt from a standstill. That may not be enough for you. (2.5m/s is the error maximum for rate.)
The other term NAV_I should ramp up and make the difference. It can tilt the copter up to 16 more degrees to achieve the speed you want.
