Position Accuracy in Loiter and Auto Modes

Do the accelerometer readings determine the position after the initial GPS read or does the copter rely solely on GPS readings for the loiter and auto modes?

Also, I am in the process of fine-tuning loiter mode, and it still makes wide circles about 5

Can't Calibrate ESCs and Loss of Power to APM

Problems seen when trying to configure arducopter:

1. Loss of binding with the transmitter frequently during configuration steps or inability to bind

2. Inability to calibrate all esc's-one motor always has a problem(twitching or no response)

3. Twitchi
