I have read the arducopter manual and also reviewed some of the earlier forum posts and initially moved my sonar sensor (recommended Maxbotix) 3" away from the main electronics but still see too much noise for the sonar to work in Alt Hold properly,

I would appreciate some clarification on what Loiter mode is please.
On the wiki page the Loiter mode is described as follows:
"Loiter mode is attempts to maintain the current location. Like Alt_hold, the altitude is interactive, using the throttl

I am having a problem with the GPS that I am guessing is a simple noob mistake. When I switch from stabilize to loiter or RTL the quad does not respond, it flies like it is still in stabilize. The blue light on the GPS is solid, and the red li

The problem is that even if i the flight was sometimes at 10-15m on the kmz file/log the altitude reported by the baro was max 1-2 m.
I don't have a sonar installed.

Hi
I have tricopter, 80cm, DT750 motors and GWS 11x4,7 props, latest APM and Oilpan and software. Today I started with one different propeller APC 9x6. Don't ask why :)
Obviously, that motor with smaller prop had hard times. I was able to hover pretty

I tried 2.0.46 today.
Compared to earlier 2.0.45 version it was very difficult to fly. I don't know exactly why.
I did compile it with Arduino, because i think that the version inside Mission Planner is a false 2.0.46 (it is 2.0.45).
Inside 2.0.45,
