I'm flying an Arduplane with telemetry. I've noticed while in "AUTO", passing through a "way point" the throttle and current goes up. Is there a parameter that I can change to lower the throttle? Or any help will be appreciated.Thx, Brian

"Abu,
I didn't have anything that will open a rar file. I have a .tlog file that only 2 MB and its about 20 minute long. Maybe you need to look for a "tlog" file. ??

Brian S replied to Abolo's discussion Arduplane 2.6 Auto mode throttle Zero Problem :( in ArduPlane User Group
"Ditto: "Try disabling the airspeed sensor and then set the cruise throttle to around %60" I had crashed 2 planes because the newest firmware had "enabled" the airspeed sensor with out me having a sensor."

I flew my FX-61 with the X8 the params. The flight went ok. My question: I need to Auto-Tune the FX 61, will it tune with the X8 params loaded or do I need to load some say ... default params and then do a Auto Tune??Thanks, Brian
