One of the cool features of the Mission Planner is that you can load and save configuration files. So you can not only have different files for different aircraft, but also share them with others.
This is particularly handy for common airframes. Once someone has tuned one well, they can upload their configuration file and save others the trouble of having to go through the same process.
I've now created a place in the APM and ArduCopter wikis that you can use to share configuration files. Please post your files in the comments here and I'll upload them to the relevant wikis as they come in.
The APM Configuration File Repository is here.
The AC2 Configuration File Repository is here.
*** Note, 2.0.26, and 2.0.27 had a flaw that switched Alt_hold and Simple mode. Don't fly it. This is fixed in 2.0.28. ***
Comments
Gareth: I've switched the thread for config file submission to this one in the discussion forum. It turns out that blog posts, like this one, don't allow you to attach a config file, while discussion forum posts do.
I did not see any information explaining whether the config files in the repositories are for APM1 or APM2.
This could become important in the near future. If I simply overlooked it please disregard.
Cheers
is everyone happy with the following:
1. A short video of the copter flying.
2. A photo of the copter.
3. Firmware version.
4. Frame type
5. Orientation
6. Motors
7.Props
8.Battery
9. AUW
10. Airframe size (motor to motor distance etc)
11. Extras (eg. Sonar/OFS)
12. Comments
Anything else?
@Ihab: Agreed :)
Im going to ask Jason for PIDS for the arducopter, 3DR. And ask Marco Robustini for PIDS on his octo.
Any1 else?
Maybe also prop and battery info?
Alright guys, first order of business since iv been given manual access is I want to start putting stable PID configs into the manual @ http://code.google.com/p/arducopter/wiki/AC2_Configfiles
I would like some input from everyone.
To make things easy and informative, Im thinking the best would be to have each pid setting file accompanied with the following:
1. A short video of the copter flying.
2. A photo of the copter.
3. Firmware version.
4. Frame type
5. Orientation
6. Motors
7. AUW
8. Airframe size (motor to motor distance etc)
Anything else?
I was also thinking about arranging the configs under firmware versions instead of say frame types.
What do you guys think?

Below are the settings I used to test high wind scenarios in Xplane for the PT-60, I also made a blog post on this subject: Tuning for high winds.
Hopefully these settings may come in handy for people wanting to run simulator tests so they have a known good starting point.

My first successfuly attempt to setup my quad with arducopter 2.42. I hope this is helpful.

This is the link to the product page Toro 900
I downloaded the file and posted it here. Do you have a link to that plane? I'm not familar with it...
