I've seen in MissionPlanner, that you use srtm.getAltitude for altitude component. Is it necessary?We have a problem, that after DO_SET_HOME command with a 0 altitude, current altitude of a copter changes. Seems like we are doing something wrong…

Mihhail Maslakov replied to Mihhail Maslakov's discussion Is it normal/safe to perform "Preflight Calibration" before each takeoff?

Mihhail Maslakov replied to Randy's discussion ArduCopter-3.2.1 Beta Testing
"Well, in our case Throttle was at 1500 the whole time, so I doubt it was the same issue. We also really like the way Ardupilot is working out for us, both with planes and with copters.

Mihhail Maslakov commented on jim C.'s blog post RVJET with autopilot APM 2.5
"Hi,
Our RVJET is behaving great in air, but we have problems with auto takeoff. Specifically, it is very difficult to launch it by hand. When we set NAV_TAKEOFF parameter at 15, usually plane won't stabilize, because target speed isn't there yet and…"

In LOITER mode quad held it's position really well, but was reacting very aggressively to wind bursts. After some time it started swinging from side to side pretty hard, so we decided to switch to STABILIZE mode. Unfortunately it was too late, quad…
