David McCallister replied to Stephan's discussion How to obtain higher speed in follow me and loiter mode?
"The maximum horizontal speed of the copter during loiter mode can be adjusted with the Loiter Speed (aka WPNAV_LOIT_SPEED) parameter on the Config/Tuning >> APM:Copter Pids screen.  The value is expressed in cm/s so 500 = 5m/s.  The maximum…"

David McCallister replied to Paul Mikesell's discussion MinimOSD not getting APM updates
"This worked for me.

Cut…"

David McCallister commented on Roger Sollenberger's blog post Follow-Me Mode: Available Today, Free in DroidPlanner 2.0
"I gave it a quick test flight with my Y6 and it worked better than I expected for a short test! What took me a minute was to determine that the RC control needed to be in Guided mode for Follow Me on Droidplanner to work. 
The only thing I'm curious…"
