To those who helped. I tried the settings from the wiki for the quad and it was awesome. One little issue was the Alt_Hold is alot better and more stable. It would drop about 2 feet and then it would shot up and It wasn't horrible but I think that that could be a little easier transition. Also was going to try the failsafe but i chickened out. I shut the radio off and it shot straight in the air like it was supposed to but I was chicken and couldn't try it. It was a very succesful day.
You go to the Configuration tab in the mission planner and then click Load at the bottom. From there point to the 3DR param file you should have already downloaded from the Arducoter downloads page off of the wiki site.
Nope. I usually just load the new firmware, calibrate everything set all my HW and compass declination, and save it as default file, so that I can reload it later.

Which settings are loaded when you download the firmware? Those are the ones I have been flying on and it hasn't been too bad.
Thank you guys. No matter the input I learn alot from everybody.

To restore the default setting you can do a "reset" from the CLI. http://code.google.com/p/arducopter/wiki/AC2CLI
