B replied to Jesper Östlund's discussion Arducopter v3,01 fly away with no control (software glitch?)
"Just from looking at it real quick, what was the wind like?  It looks to me like there was a lot of wind pushing it around.  Right after you regain GPS lock and switch to alt hold mode, the ATT indicator shows the quad in very stable, flat flight.…"
