Ryan commented on Euan Ramsay's blog post APM into 230 size quad
"Shoot.  Just wrote a post and deleted it.  Take 2:

My team and I are launching a 3mm near-indestructible, solderless frame for FPV racing. The frame offers modularity for full sized electronics and flight controllers that need more room.…"

"Hey Euan – Care to share your PIDs after the auto tune?"

"@Savet, you've been one step ahead of me during this whole build.  Found your notes on the APM Forum.  Changing my IMAX rates to 1800 solved the over correction problem.  Off to the races for me.  I'm good to go.  :)"

"Starting to pick up the paces, my tuning falls short with aggressive stopping at high speeds, it pitches backwards and almost falls on itself.  Had a long day tuning with no results.  Video (stab mode) here, but also occurs in full acro:…"

"Did rc5 today as well – ran a quick PID tune and no oscillations @ 42 Hz.  Put it down the street and back.  Flies like a razor blade.  Thank you APM community.  Let the races begin."

"Just saw RC5 hit – does this include leonard's changes?  I see some Acro_expo in the release notes.  Getting excited. :)"

"@Sevet – Any updates with your oscillations?  I see on the whitespy mini thread (regroups) several look like their running with proper tuning.  I don't want to resort to the very basic CC3d for my mini : /"

"Wow that sounds great.  I love my apms.  Can't wait to use it for mini racing.
Goodluck leonard."

"Now I'm stalking Shay's youtube – but I notice he has oscillations with his mini like mine does on heavy throttle.  @Euan, have you eliminated?  Is your acro on par with CC3D?

"@Shay would also like to see your settings.  Trying your filter param and still noticing oscillations on heavy throttle.  Might increase.
I've gone back to front and believe my PIDs are very strong.  Measured IMU and it's within limits.
Starting to…"

Ryan replied to Ryan's discussion Alt. Hold & Loiter sudden drop – Can't figure out why
"Honestly I think it was just in need for a hard reset.  Sometimes you have to turn things off and on :)

Flies like a diamond now.

Thanks for the help guys."

"Wasn't like that.  Was almost 0% throttle.  It fell out of the sky.  After a couple trials, I had it shoot up at 100% throttle.

All of which I had to recover with stability. 

Once I reset the board and recalibrated, the throttle acted like it…"

Ryan replied to Ryan's discussion Alt. Hold & Loiter sudden drop – Can't figure out why
"Thanks jg.  I've done a few apm builds – not sure why this happened. It's very balanced, the apm is protected and above the props, and there are no vibrations.

I reset the board, calibrated, setup my PIDs and it is solid as a rock.  Loiters within…"

Ryan replied to Ryan's discussion Alt. Hold & Loiter sudden drop – Can't figure out why
"A very short test I ran with IMU logs on, attached here – I have my apm on an anti-vibration mount.

Dying to know why she keeps dropping out of the sky.  I've done almost an exact similar build, and she flies like a diamond.  Not sure what I'm…"
