I am turning on the RC for the first time:
1. Loaded the code and got the gps running and all is well.

'If you have Sonar, the craft will stop holding position at 3 meters and drop straight down. '
Did anyone try that? How did it work? Thanks.

Well, it is the reason we have 6DOF right? The recent addition of using the Accel Z is a good move.
