Can this affect level so badly?

So I bought one of these things (or one exactly like it), because once while learning fpv I backed into a tree and it took me a couple minutes to figure out which direction my quad was. No big deal,…Continue

I'll just be direct here, so as not to be overly long. The 2.9.1 forum thread is past 1600 posts, and I have no doubt it will hit 2000 posts shortly. The problem with that thread is that it's…Continue

Bill Patterson replied to Craig Elder's discussion APM Copter 2.9.1.b has been released"A bit of testing today.
I generally test each item, one at a time, and don't progress until I'm happy.
So I've been stuck on alt hold since 2.91b came out. It's been back to terrible with massive jumps and drops again.…"

Jake Simon replied to Bill Patterson's discussion Can someone explain ROI a little bit?"To get ROI to work set the parameter YAW_OVR_BEHAVE to 1 in the advanced parameter list. This will keep the copter yawed toward the ROI GPS points for all waypoints (doesn't work for RTL). Also, I don't think that the alt parameter in…"

Bill Patterson replied to Randy's discussion AC 2.9.1 vs 2.8.1 GPS accuracy"In mission planner, right click on the map and pick ROI. Move the ROI event up or down until you get it where you want it in your mission sequence.
I don't know how to turn ROI off though.
Awesome news about the sonar below. I…"
Bill Patterson replied to Randy's discussion AC 2.9.1 vs 2.8.1 GPS accuracy"Oh, and maybe re-cal the magnetometer."

I have not tested it on the latest version, but it will fix your facing issues.
Sonar might help landing."
Bill Patterson replied to Craig Elder's discussion APM Copter 2.9.1.b has been released"Well, I guess mine must be ok, because it flies pretty well. "
Bill Patterson replied to Craig Elder's discussion APM Copter 2.9.1.b has been released"Buy a Micro, they are indestructible, and fly the crap out of it. It helps a lot and pays for itself in saved props.

Bill Patterson replied to Craig Elder's discussion APM Copter 2.9.1.b has been released"I can't figure out which parameter this one is? I have about 12 candidates in the parameter list.

My best guess is INAV_TC_XY since it has a value of 3, but…"
Bill Patterson replied to Randy's discussion AC 2.9.1 vs 2.8.1 GPS accuracy"Sorry, what was the PM module again?"
Bill Patterson replied to Randy's discussion AC 2.9.1 vs 2.8.1 GPS accuracy"The tester in me says you would also want to reverse the load/APM too. See if the exact same APM does the same thing with 2.8.1 and the other running 2.9.1 next to it. (Keep the test rig the same, but exchange firmware versions on each APM).

Bill Patterson commented on Manfred Dickgiesser's blog post I Wish I Was Excited About The GoPro Camera Craze"That's very interesting. How much range does that have?"

Just got back from the park, was going to do some FPV.
Everything looked good, lifted off, corrected for a bit of lean to the rear, it got worse, corrected more, hit full forward and quad continued to accelerate in reverse, killed throttle and rolled it breaking a prop.
New prop, lifted off…
