"@John Sorry for the delay in responding. The smaller the THR_DZ value, the smaller the dead zone around mid throttle. It sounds like you found a range that worked for you. Clean looking quad. No thoughts on the blip other than to review logs to…"
"@John Hulsbosch
Please see the THR_DZ setting here. There is an adjustable deadzone around mid throttle. Your throttle has to get outside of that deadzone to affect altitude. That would cause a lazy throttle. The smaller the dead zone the less…"

"Thank you Randy and the rest of the team for all of the hard work that went into this version! There were a ton of Release Candidates. I tried a good number of them. I'm posting video I did just today using this firmware and was very happy…"
"I haven't been able to do much testing since 3.2-rc7. Here's a video of a straight line, .6 mile autonomous flight and land with 3.2-rc4:
I'm trying to catch up with the tweaks in parameters that are not always set with the FW load and don't want…"

"Thank you, Marco. Great flying. Still on SBUS2 pin? Regards"
"Loaded 3.2-rc6 from 3.2-rc4. Re-calibrated the compass when prompted. I landed and took off in AltHold and PosHold a number of times with no issues. I ran autotune to completion, landed and disarmed with autotune enabled, but when comparing…"
"Would reducing the dead zone for altitude changes in poshold help with this issue? I don't particularly notice a slowness in ascending and descending once I'm out of the dead zone. Maybe I'm missing something here. "
"Thank you for the advice. I value your input and particularly appreciated your post regarding 6 modes in 2 switches for the Futaba. I use it on my T14SG and love it. So, you are saying sbus works, but at this time, you are advising against…"
"I'd like to know if anyone is testing sbus2 with the current beta. I have a Futaba R7008SB sbus2 receiver connected to a Pixhawk via a 3DR PPM encoder. I've been happy using rc2-rc4 via the PPM Encoder. I haven't had time to load rc5. Thank you…"
"...RC5 is not yet showing as available through Mission Planner for me under Beta Firmwares...
Noob question maybe, but #4 - Ch7/Ch8 Relay has me wondering. I use Ch5/Ch6 for 6 flight modes in 2 switches. Ch6 is used as a 2-position switch. Ch7 is…"

"Relating to Issue #3 only... I adjusted the CH1-CH4 limits on my Tx to match the PWM range of my ESCs. The PWM range of your ESCs should be published somewhere. I used the Radio Calibration check screen to validate the proper limits were set. So,…"
"+1 Matt Also, have a look at your THR_MID setting versus the TRIM_THROTTLE in the Full Parameter list. The two values should not differ dramatically. I had a similar problem to what you have, only the opposite was true. After leaving AltHold,…"
"Well, it has been a while and lots has happened since my last post. I completed the build and flew it on July 19th. I ended up getting the Futaba 14 SG(H) and R7008SB from an Amazon re-seller after getting into a back order loop with another…"
"Flew with 3.2RC4 FW on F450 in X config. EKF was set to Ch8 and turned on (throughout). Feed Forward was enabled. BAROGLTCH_DIST was adjusted to 500 per previous post here. Auto tuned, Stabilize, AltHold, PosHold, Simple/Super Simple, Sport,…"
"Here are the before THR_MID and TRIM_THROTTLE params. I adjusted THR_MID to TRIM_THROTTLE and will test. "
"Christian,
I will check the THR_MID setting and thank you for the reply. However, I may not have articulated the issue correctly. I seem to have sufficient throttle available to me in stabilize. My issue is when switch from AltHold or Loiter…"
