"I reset to default and started over. I changed the THR MID to 400, calibrated everything and it seems to fly good. I am thinking after an autotune it will be correct. Thanks again for the help. I would like to get your thoughts on the tilt for windy…"

"Here is the mission planner perms. I am working with. It still flies perfect in stabilized. What parameters control output to the motors in GPS assisted flight modes?"

"ok ill try that in the am and let you know. thanks again.... Craig said:
then make sure to set THR_MID to 400 Rob Summers said:
I would guess 40% throttle Craig said:
how "much" below 50% in stabilize? Seems Mark already answered what I was…"

"That is correct but i did do and auto tune but I made no specific changes for motors.. I have built 7 or 8 of these then decided to improve my wind performance with motors. In hind sight I needed to work on tilt angle and other tuning areas. Mark…"

"I was wondering if the input to the ESC has a separate parameters one from stabilize another to control Loiter or GPS assisted modes? Rob Summers said:
In Stabilized mode the throttle is below 50%, in Loiter 50% holds the drone at same altitude…"

"Thanks Craig, I am not good with file downloads but I tried. I put an 8000mAp battery on today which helped a little. maybe the extra torque of the T-motors are causing the issue. I am using a 3DR Pixhawk not a clone or PX4 Pilot( I put one on this…"

 My drone  flies well in stabilized  mode but when in loiter it gets jerky and somewhat noisy. It still flies, but not like I would like. I have changed flight controllers, GPS's and motors not the Q-brain ESC. There is no issue until I go to loiter…

"Thanks for the info. I am using 390 Kv turnigy motors and 17x5 carbon props. I can get around 40 min flight time with a 6600 battery. It just has difficulty in winds. I considered changing pitch parameters but I may just go for faster props. What do…"

I have built several 650mm tarot quads and have stayed with what was working as far as motors go. I recently have been having issues in the wind with the drone not able to loiter in position and drifting. This only happens in winds 15 mph+. If I…

I have used mission Planner on my sony and Apm planner on Mac. The main difference is I cannot get to the full parameter list on the Mac. I am probably missing it. I would prefer to use the Mac, is there a full list somewhere so I can check SR…
