Victor Iliescu replied to Randy's discussion ArduCopter 2.8 / 2.8.1 released
"Any plan of implementing an autotune function? Even if it's a seperate firmware  (because of space restrictions) it would be extremely usefull. That and a cheap bluetooth function, I can't tell you how much I despise having to land, disconnect batt…"

"For what it's worth, I'm a lot happier with arducopter as of 2.7.3 so good job to the developers. Loiter and such actually works, but there are still many issues, mainly with the GPS not getting a lock in a reasonable time essentially making this…"

Victor Iliescu commented on lot's blog post Quad copter flying for 4-8 hours
"I can't believe how obvious their lies are to anyone with a bit of rc experience. Take a look at the microdrone uav and not that they claim only 1H22min as maximum flight time with lots of various custom bits to help them get there. These guys look…"

Victor Iliescu replied to Victor Iliescu's discussion After a few months of flying, i've come to the conclusion that i have no idea how to tune this thing
"I'm getting some good results jason, I lowered the rate p to .160 raised stab p to 3.5, stab i to .015, imax back to 40 and d to i think .020.

It's working well, still not locked in. I tried axis mode for acro and it made it either very sluggish or…"

"Thanks Jason, i'm going out now to try that out. I was under the impression that the higher the p in rate you could get without high speed shaking was best but i will see how lowering the p in rate affects stab. Thanks Martin, yeah everything…"

Victor Iliescu replied to Victor Iliescu's discussion Sharp yaw corrections create instability in 2.71
"I suspect a tweaked frame myself, but if it's off it's not off by much. Regardless, knowing that there is a fix, i googled as much as I could and couldn't find the links to the current revision. Any chance i can bug one of you for the link?"

Is anyone else having this issue? If I give a full left or right on the rudder, after i let go the copter wobbles quite badly on a diagonal axis (i'm assuming its the opposite pair). Did i miss something? This wasn't an issue before with previous…

Victor Iliescu replied to Haikal Pribadi's discussion Setting up ArduCopter 3DR Quad without Remote Controller
"Very VERY silly to try this. So many times ive flicked into loiter and it goes crazy off course for a few seconds. You'll kill someone if not yourself!"
