If copter angle is greater then 90° in acro mode, switching to autolevel (Stabilize) mode, the copter goes up side down! manu PS: Impossible to get an acro behavior as with KK, CleanFlight, Mwii ..., why ..., i think the cause is the I-accumulator,…

"And what about the "FOV" ... , could be better no?"

Really want to try that out, and get my hands on the APM / Pixhawk toolchain...."

"I am building one(s) currently (a experimental quad & hexa)..., with tubes/sandwich fiber/foam/balsa and a minimum number of 3d printed pieces , all in the optic to be modular and easily modifyable.
Now, I still don't know where to start on how to…"

I like the behavior of yawing if all CW motors run at full with little help of CCW motors, just because the cog of CW motors = to cog of the copter..."

"Ok!..., I think that a proper gyro ( velocity) PID can handle asymmetry better than the "final toutch" mixing couplings..., my video proofs it.
Mechanical symmetry is number 1, PID will do the rest..."

"I know, APM does wonderful things, all i want to say that "simple" is not a word for APM/Pixhawk ?..., 
Simple ACRO:
Basic gyro-only-error-PID loop, and a big error accumulator will do wonders.
If someone can tell me how to get "heading-hold" done…"

"Hi, late reply...
I am still surprised on how difficult it is in APM to tune the Rate-PID's. I am used to do it with KK, Mwii, CleanFlight, and my own gyro-only KK-based PID code.
I am missing the HeadinHold feature (ie the I accumulator) Any…"

"Another thought on symmetrical tube frames and the amount of tubes needed:
Square: 4
H or I : 3
X or + : 2*sqrt(1^2+1^2)=2*1.43=2.86 almost 3...

I like H frames because I need only 2 fixtures
And it allow placing equipment all along the frame,…"

"I never saw a transmitter that is so complicated to set pwm 6 positions with 2 switches, horrible!
I also, get only 5 distinct positions, grrrrrrrrrrrrr"
