"Hi, thanks to the team of developers, now we have 3.1.3!
I really did not experience any issues since ancient 3.0-rc5 and dozens of flighs but there is a flyway video below I simply can not share. Enjoy.

denism commented on chris wilson's blog post Hobbby King has a MINI APM
"That just completes one cycle.  And there is design improvement every time new board created.
Truth is that even with that lucrative price I would not buy APM anymore. Bought my last one 8 month ago, $50 second hand.   It is STM32/PX4 time already."

"Ok I think GPS (Loiter mode) makes my H4 approach ground at sub optimal angle and speed.
Happened on -rcX  October 31 (rainy afternoon) and again today when filming icing.

Are we getting 3.1 Halloween 2013…"

"Randy,
I was flying 3.0-rc5.  Switching from descend in ALT-HOLD or LOITER to STAB makes copter free fall immediately.  Apparently full throttle does not save if from 40 meter altitude and I hit ground.  That hurts.  Any parameters I can adjust to…"

"Have a "RTL motor stop thing" hitting my Y6 twice in the air.  Yes it took it from +40m altitude to -9m in two kicks.  Yes, negative alt ;)

denism replied to Craig Elder's discussion APM Copter 2.9.1.b has been released
"I see yaw_rate P default change to 0.20 (was 0.25)..   Moving my post from 2.9.1 thread to this one as Y6 actually was flying on 2.9.1b.  But yaw performance was the same (slow) on 2.9.1 as well.
I tried increasing rate YAW I and P with no avail.…"
