I love this guy's accent!

You can.. You hold the throttle stick in the disarm position (down and right) for 20 seconds and you'll notice the green LED (B) starts flashing.. You then have 45 seconds to take off and hold a stable hover. After 45 seconds your new PID/Trim settings are stored.

Oh, Nice Work and easy for setting balance when on flight .

[@GenCodeFPV]

I found it, it was under standard param. Thanks!!!

[@derekcstahl]

Thank you very helpful!

[@marcopter]

I've update the description with my setup!

[@marcopter]

Yes, use only "Stabilize" mode for AutoTrim...

[@marcopter]

I'm sorry, the video is recorded in alpha phase, now AutoTrim is called "SaveTrim" in the planner!

[@derivas007]

how do you trim accro mode?in stabilize mode(if i understand it s the same thing than stable mode for multiwii) after the first autotrim,if all is not perfect, does i need to remake all the procedure?

[@yankoaleksandrov]

I don't have a sevend channel on my radio, so i can't auto trim?

[@gnuekyim10000]

Hi sir,
Is there Sonar,air speed sensor in your arducopter? thank!

[@DavidCaplinGIS]

Mine needs like full right trim just to hold steady...

[@BalloonMechatronics]

Macro, When're you trim on radio. You're still stabilize mode right?

[@BalloonMechatronics]

Macro, When is to release version?

[@GenCodeFPV]

Marco,
I am not sure how to set channel 7 to AutoTrim. Where do I do this in the planner?
