Tried to fly 2.1.0 (Alpha as called in MP)  today. Tried Loiter , which I didnt find particularly good, but noticed that at sonar altitudes (0 to 8 meters)  something was wrong, the copter just decended. Thought I should test the sonar in Mission…

I am having som issues with Loiter that I want to find out about. Sometimes Loiter is almost perfect on the spot, maybe drifting 1 meter or so, but I have had situations where in Loiter the copter starts circling pretty fast in a quite large circle…

I had my first try at Auto yesterday. overall it went fine, but I have a question regarding one of the waypoints. I had set up 4 WPs and three of them were spot on (although after some strange paths to reach them) but one WP was missed by many…

The KML file or rather the kmz zipped file that I get from MP doesn't contain the correct information so that I get tracks of the flight in Google Earth. It contains no LineString element with the GPS coordinates, and no Paths of the flights that I…

"Hmm, sure I am missing something essential here, no suggestions ?
 
Ntw, had an exceptionally fine flight today, testing Loiter ...... it worked!
 
Something wrong with PIDs obviously, and some up and down movement, but overall satisfactory. Got to…"
