Stopping causes bounce and rock in LOITER

Posted by Edgar Scott on May 5, 2014 at 6:02pm

I rarely fly in LOITER but when I do and I fly all is good, slow but good.

Stopping is a different story, when I stop the craft kinda bounces around like on a rubber band back and forth.

I was not really worried about it but with the upcoming HYBRID mode I was worried that I may have the same issue there.

    It's hard to be sure without a log but there are certainly some issues with the transition into loiter or RTL being a bit rough if you're flying forward at high speed.  Some of that will be smoothed out with AC3.2.  Hybrid mode has a special 6 second period where it engages a slowdown step before the underlying loiter is engaged so I suspect you'll like it better.

      TY, if I get the problem in hybrid/3.2 I'll post the logs.  Once I get hybrid I doubt I'll ever use Loiter anyhow unless I want to stay in one place.
