"hey dmac!!, so glad its working!!, i saw the video, looks good and with a little pid tunning it should fly even better. (Nice landing gear you have there :p)

also, keep in mind that if rate_P alone doesn't make much difference, it could be…"

"good to know, ill check mines later.
thanks for the info Brian!!

"Hey dmac, i know how it feels, being raining here too. About the PIDs, as i can see from your design, it looks like you should be safe with the default values, fly with the defaults, and remember, watch how it flies, i even find it useful to record…"

"its for + configuration, but the principle is the same for X, in X if you pitch the copter down, both front motors should start spinning, or if you move the pitch stick forward, the 2 back motors should spin, in general, the motors that are below…"

"looking at  the mission planner screenshot in http://code.google.com/p/arducopter/wiki/AC2_Tweaks
 GPS position hold related PIDs would be:
     * Loiter Lat PID  (for latitude)
     * Loiter Long PID (for longitude)
 Altitude hold related PIDs…"

"Hi, does ALT hold requires a sonar sensor, or is it good with the barometic sensor even on altitudes less than 10 ft?
