@chiarls - based on the specs you supplied and some simple scaling, here are some settings you might try. You’ll need to adjust all the <multiplier>
elements in the ArduPilot plugin and the <area>
and <cp>
elements in all the lift-drag plugin entries (retaining the existing signs). That may give you an initial set up that will let you tune the copter. Let us know how you get on as I’d be interested to know how well the config works.
