My AuduCopter flips when giving a lot of throttle. I am using Turnigy d3542/4 1450Kv motors, Turnigy Plush - 40A ESCs and APC 10 X 4.7 props.
I have lowered the Throttle Rate P to 0.4. Are the motors too powerful?
Thanks,
Matthew

Firt...let me thank you guys working very hard with all these Ardu-things (ArduPilot, ArduCopter, APM, ...). Very nice and I love it!
I have bought a set of APC220 RF sender/receivers for using as telemtry link for my ArduCopter. I could not

how can that be done ?

What's wrong ?

After watching a movie clip of my plan flying on auto using the airspeed, I see that at times it oscillates pitch up and down, while increasing and decreasing the motor revs continually.
This seems to only happen with the Airspeed sensor connected.
