"I've found that when in autotune, it will loose altitude rather quickly when bringing it back to its starting area. The trick is to bring it back slowly (and add some throttle if necessary to maintain altitude). I've also noticed that the closer it…"

"Thanks for your reply and explanation. I have the controller mounted using only a double layer of 1cm squares of 3M 4010 double-sided gel tape at each corner.. After a couple years of 3S, I'm really enjoying this new found world of 4S capabilities."

"Something of possible interest. Frame- Hoverthings Flip FPV w/ 2212 980kv Sunnysky's. I have been flying a 3s setup with 11x45 HQ MR props for a while now. Last night I switched over to a 4S setup with 9x43 HQ MR props. IMU1 is nearly identical with…"

"Very glad I saw this post. I was getting very frustrated with my Hoverthings modified FPV-Pro. @ 0.1 I was getting very high numbers all around (Stab R - 13~ Stab P 16~), etc... it was a very angry bee in the air and fpv and gopro vid showed it,…"

"Hello SwissFreek,
I'm not completely sure what the issue is, but I noticed the same thing back in 3.3-rc5. It has something to do with ATC_ACCEL_Y_MAX.  leonardthall reviewed my log and found this setting to be at 9000 and suggested setting it to…"

"Something magnetic nearby perhaps. I have magnetic tool holders on the wall by my workbench and if I place my quad to close, I get the same errors. Actually anything magnetic in proximity will cause that error."

Michael replied to Randy's discussion Copter-3.3 beta testing
"I settled on ATC_ACCEL_Y_MAX at 36000 for my small DIY tricopter.
Possible "bug".
Problem: After running Autotune (Y axis only), the ATC_ACCEL_Y_MAX resets back to 9000. I was able to repeat the event on each of three tries. It only happens after…"

"No joy. (moved from 10[default] to 40 and still very sluggish and will complete a 360° or so before resting when holding full yaw (same as before). Just took it up for a quick flight to test and keep the log short. One thing I did try was to…"
