Will commented on Chris Anderson's blog post APM configuration file for the HobbyKing Bixler posted
"In using autotune, I am getting different types of numbers.  I noticed this default config, specifically, does not have anything for I and D, so I find the tune to be a bit "stiff".

Why not have I and D values?
Any comments on these values?"

"I've spent some time getting the arduplane/APM 2.6 filght modes setup to be controllable from my 9xr (and other radios with 3 way switch) so I thought I might contribute to the forum so others might benefit.My goal was to allow for 6 flight mode…"

Will replied to Will's discussion arduplane 3.0.3 autotune: doesn't allow pilot input
"I do not have an airspeed sensor.  As you can see from video, it flys loiter quite well.  The "ACRO" mode however did not provide enough pitch control for realistic flight.

"Here are the PID settings after autotune.  looks like the roll never changed from default.  The pitch does look different.  I've also attached logs.

"It is a elevon wing with canard. I am novice at apm. I will post pids later.

Here is video of it flying in loiter. There is some oscillation that makes me think P is too high.

preflight
power on TX
power on plane
check flight surfaces
put in autotune mode, check flight surfaces
put in manual mode

Hi,I am finding that in firmware, arduplane 3.0.3 (I couldnt find a 3 forum), autotune: doesn't allow pilot input.  It does seem to oscillate at first, then get super smooth, but never allows pilot input.  It seemed to allow it on ground, but…

Will replied to zubair aslam's discussion APM 2.5 Strange behaviour in FBWA and RTL modes
"I am having a similar issue.  I am a noob, so likely this is setup error, a troubleshooting list here would be useful.

I have completed autotuning, and for quick test tried "RTL".  The plane went inverted and I reacted before I could tell what else…"
